What this page covers

LingoChallenge is a website for practicing English grammar. This page explains what information is collected when you visit, why, and what you can do about it.

What we collect

Analytics. We use Google Analytics 4 to count visits and see which pages people read. It sets cookies in your browser and sends Google a record of the page you opened, the approximate location derived from your IP address, and basic details about your browser and device.

We do not ask Google to collect anything beyond that. We do not enable demographic reports or user-ID tracking.

Nothing else. There are no accounts, no sign-up, no comment form, and no newsletter. We never ask for your name, email address or payment details, because nothing on the site needs them.

Practice results. When you start a drill, the page asks our own server for that set of questions, and your answers are checked by code running on your own device. When you finish a set, the result is sent back: for each question, which sentence it was, whether the answer was right, and what was typed or chosen.

Nothing in that record points back to you. No account, no cookie, no session marker, no stored IP address — the rows cannot be grouped into “one person’s session”, by us or by anyone reading the database. We use them for one thing: finding bad questions. A sentence that most people get wrong is usually not hard grammar but a flawed task — an ambiguous sentence or a second answer that also fits — and that is what we go and fix in the material.

Those requests reach an ordinary web server, so they show up in its access log — address, time and path — the way a request to any site does. That log exists to spot abuse, it is kept only as long as the server’s own rotation keeps it, and it is never joined to the practice records.

Cookies and your choice

The only cookies are the ones Google Analytics sets.

If you are in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom or Switzerland, nothing is stored until you agree. Analytics starts in a restricted mode that sets no cookies and cannot recognize you between visits, and a banner asks before that changes. Everywhere else the banner works the other way round: analytics runs, and declining switches it back off.

Your answer is remembered in your browser under cookie-consent and is never sent anywhere. To change it, clear the site data for lingochallenge.com and the banner will ask again.

Two other things are stored locally in your browser and never leave it: your choice of light or dark theme, and that consent answer.

You can also block cookies in your browser settings, or install the Google Analytics opt-out add-on, and the site will keep working.

Who can see the data

Google, as the provider of Analytics. Practice results go to our own server and stay there. Nobody else. We do not sell, share or transfer visit data to anyone.

Google’s own terms describe how they handle it: Google Privacy Policy.

How long it is kept

Analytics data is retained for 14 months, then deleted automatically. That is the setting we use, and it is the shortest period Google Analytics 4 allows for this kind of report.

Your rights

If you are in the European Economic Area or the United Kingdom, you have the right to ask what is held about you, to have it corrected or deleted, and to object to its processing. Because the site does not know who you are, the practical way to exercise these rights is to decline in the banner, clear your cookies, or use the opt-out link above.

Children

The site is not aimed at children under 13 and does not knowingly collect anything from them.
