Cookies and Similar Technologies

MockTheoryTest.co.uk may use cookies and similar technologies to support website functionality, remember certain preferences, understand website traffic and provide advertising services.

A cookie is a small file or piece of information stored on, or accessed from, your device when you use a website. Different cookies can serve different purposes and may be controlled by the website itself or by third-party providers.

Depending on the services active on the website and your consent choices, cookies or similar technologies may be used for:

• Essential website functionality;
• Security and technical operation;
• Analytics and website measurement;
• Remembering selected preferences;
• Advertising and advertising measurement.

Some cookies may be necessary for the website to provide a service requested by a visitor. Other cookies or similar technologies may require your permission before they are used, depending on their purpose and applicable law.

You can also manage cookies through your browser settings. Blocking or deleting certain cookies may affect how some parts of the website operate.

Google Analytics

Where enabled on the website, Google Analytics 4 (GA4) may be used to provide information about how visitors interact with MockTheoryTest.co.uk.

Analytics information is used to understand website performance and visitor behaviour at an aggregated or statistical level where possible. We do not use Google Analytics as a tool to deliberately identify individual visitors by name.

Google may process information through infrastructure located in countries outside the United Kingdom. The processing of information by Google is also governed by Google's own privacy terms and policies.

You can find further information about Google's handling of information in Google's privacy documentation and manage available browser or consent settings where applicable.

Advertising technologies may be used to measure campaign performance, control advertising frequency and, where permitted, provide advertisements that are more relevant to visitors.

For users in the UK and other applicable regions, advertising and consent practices may depend on the consent management tools and settings implemented on the website. Where required, applicable consent is requested before non-essential advertising technologies are used.

You can manage certain advertising and privacy preferences through Google's available settings and through the cookie or consent controls provided on the website.

Sharing Content Through Telegram

Some pages on MockTheoryTest.co.uk may include an option to share a page through Telegram.

Using this feature is optional. If you select the Telegram sharing option, you may be transferred to Telegram's website or application to complete the sharing process.

Information processed after you leave our website is governed by Telegram's own privacy practices and terms. MockTheoryTest.co.uk does not have access to your private Telegram account, conversations or messages simply because you use a sharing link.

Copy Link Function

The website may provide a button allowing visitors to copy the URL of the current page.

This function is intended to operate through the visitor's browser clipboard and does not, by itself, require us to receive the copied information. The copied link remains under the visitor's control.

Third-Party Providers

Certain functions of the website may depend on external service providers. These providers can process technical or other information according to the services they provide and their own privacy policies.

Depending on the services active on the website, third parties may include:

• Google Analytics;
• Google AdSense and associated advertising services;
• Telegram, when a visitor chooses to share website content through Telegram.

Third-party providers may have their own privacy policies, terms and data retention practices. Visitors should review those policies where appropriate.

How Long Information Is Kept

We aim to retain personal information only for as long as there is a reasonable need to keep it for the purpose for which it was collected, to manage an ongoing communication, to protect our legitimate interests or to meet legal requirements.

Emails and related correspondence may be retained for a reasonable period so that we can respond to enquiries, maintain an appropriate record of communications or deal with subsequent issues.

Information processed by external analytics or advertising providers may be retained according to the respective provider's settings, policies and applicable requirements.

International Processing

Some services used by websites, including Google services, may process information using systems or servers located outside the United Kingdom.

Where personal information is transferred internationally, the applicable service provider may use legally recognised safeguards or other mechanisms intended to support lawful international data transfers.

The exact transfer arrangements can depend on the service involved and may be described in the relevant third party's privacy documentation.

Protecting Information

We take reasonable technical and organisational precautions designed to protect information against inappropriate access, loss, misuse, alteration or disclosure.

However, no website, online service or method of electronic transmission can guarantee absolute security. Information sent over the Internet is subject to risks that cannot be completely eliminated.

Visitors should also take reasonable precautions when using the Internet, including keeping devices, browsers and security software appropriately maintained.

Your Data Protection Rights

Depending on your circumstances and the applicable data protection legislation, you may have rights in relation to personal information processed by us.

These rights can include:

• The right to ask for access to personal information held about you;
• The right to request correction of inaccurate personal information;
• The right to request deletion of information where the legal requirements for deletion are met;
• The right to request restriction of certain processing;
• The right to object to particular types of processing;
• The right to data portability where the applicable legal conditions are satisfied;
• The right to withdraw consent where processing relies on consent;
• The right to complain to the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO).
