Cookie Policy for ipassed.gg

Effective Date: 18 March 2026

This Cookie Policy explains how ipassed.gg ("we", "us", or "our") uses cookies and similar tracking technologies when you visit our website.

1. What are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files placed on your device to store data that can be recalled by a web server in the domain that placed the cookie. We use cookies to "remember" your login session and to help our advertising partners serve relevant content to you.

2. Types of Cookies We Use

We keep our cookie footprint small to prioritize your privacy. We categorize our cookies into two groups:

  • Strictly Necessary Cookies: These are essential for the website to function. On ipassed.gg, these are used solely to keep you logged in to your account and record your progress in the question bank. Without these, you would have to log in every time you answered a question.
  • Advertising Cookies (Third-Party): We use Google AdSense to serve ads. Google uses cookies to serve ads based on your previous visits to our website or other websites on the internet.

3. Google AdSense & The DoubleClick Cookie

As a participant in the Google AdSense program, we disclose the following:

  • Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on a user's prior visits to your website or other websites.
  • Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to our users based on their visit to our sites and/or other sites on the Internet.
  • You may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings.

4. How to Control or Delete Cookies

You have the right to decide whether to accept or reject cookies.

  • Browser Settings: You can set or amend your web browser controls to accept or refuse cookies. If you choose to reject strictly necessary cookies, you may still use our website, though your access to some functionality (like saving your test scores) will be restricted.
  • Ad Choices: You can visit www.aboutads.info to opt out of third-party cookies for personalized advertising.

5. Compliance with Hong Kong Law (PDPO)

In accordance with the Hong Kong Personal Data (Privacy) Ordinance, we do not use cookies to collect personal identifiers for marketing purposes. Any data collected via cookies is used purely for functional login purposes or is handled by Google as an independent data controller for advertising.

6. Updates to this Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in the cookies we use or for other operational, legal, or regulatory reasons. Please revisit this policy regularly to stay informed.
