Cookies Policy

This cookies policy explains how CheckYourSpeed.net (“we”, “us”, “our”) uses cookies and similar technologies when you visit the site.

1. What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files stored on your device by your browser when you visit a website. They help websites remember your preferences, understand how visitors use the site, and sometimes deliver personalised content or adverts.

2. How we use cookies

On CheckYourSpeed.net, cookies and similar technologies may be used for:

  • Essential functionality: basic features needed for the site and its tools to work correctly.
  • Analytics: understanding how visitors use the site (which pages are visited, how long people stay, which devices are used, etc.).
  • Advertising: when enabled, cookies from Google AdSense may be used to show relevant ads and measure their performance.

3. Google Analytics cookies

We use Google Analytics to collect anonymised statistics about how visitors use the site. Google Analytics sets cookies that can store non-personal technical information such as:

  • Which pages you visit and how long you spend on them.
  • General information about your device, browser and approximate location.
  • How you reached the site (for example, from a search engine or a referral link).

You can learn more at Google’s cookies policy.

4. Google AdSense cookies

When advertising is active, Google AdSense may set cookies to:

  • Show ads that are relevant to your interests.
  • Limit how many times you see the same ad.
  • Measure the effectiveness of advertising campaigns.

You can manage your ad personalisation preferences on Google’s own pages, such as Google Ad Settings.

5. Third-party cookies

Some cookies may be set by third-party services integrated into the site, such as analytics providers, advertising networks, or external content (for example, embedded resources). We do not control these third-party cookies directly.

6. Managing cookies

You can control or delete cookies using your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to:

  • Delete existing cookies.
  • Block cookies from certain websites.
  • Block all cookies or only third-party cookies.
  • Receive a warning before a cookie is stored.

Please note that blocking or deleting cookies may affect how some parts of the site work.

7. Changes to this policy

We may update this cookies policy from time to time to reflect changes in how we use cookies or in relevant regulations. The “last updated” date will be revised when changes are made.
