Cookies and local storage

Lanekind sets no advertising cookies at all. What it does store in this browser is your revision — every answer you have given — and this page lists all of it, key by key.

These are honest drafts. Everything they say about how Lanekind behaves is true of the code running this site, and every gap marked Placeholder, for the operator to supply: like this is a fact only the operator can supply. No solicitor has reviewed them yet, so do not treat them as settled terms.

There are no advertising cookies

Three things this site does not do and one thing it asks about, said plainly, because a banner that lumps them together tells you nothing.

No advertising or marketing cookiesThere is no ad network here, nothing is sold, and no third party is given a way to recognise you elsewhere.
No cross-site tracking and no fingerprintingNothing here follows you off this site, and nothing measures your browser to identify it.
No session cookie eitherYour sign-in lives in this browser’s local storage rather than in a cookie, so it is never attached to a page request on its way to a server.
One optional thing, and it is off until you say otherwiseAnalytics. The library that sends them is not loaded until you have answered the question further down this page.

What Lanekind does use is local storage: a store inside this browser that the site can read and write, that no server ever receives automatically, and that stays on this device. It is what makes a session finish on a train with no signal. The list below is complete.

What this browser holds

13 keys

13 keys. 7 of them become rows in your account if you make one, and the last column says what happens to each of the rest.

KeyWhat it isDoes it leave this browser?
clearway.answers.v1Every answer you have given: the question, the option you picked, whether it was right and when. This is the app.Yes, once you have an account — as answer_events.
clearway.activity.v1Which days you studied which licence, so a week off pauses a category instead of punishing you for it.Yes, once you have an account — as category_activity.
clearway.history.v1Your finished sessions, practice runs and mock tests. The last 200 are kept here; the rest live in your account.Yes, once you have an account — as session_history and test_history.
clearway.flags.v1The questions you bookmarked to come back to.Yes, once you have an account — as flagged_questions.
clearway.plan.v1Your test date, how many minutes a day you chose, and which licence you are revising.Yes, once you have an account — as plan.
clearway.theme.v1Light, dark, or match this device.Yes, once you have an account — as settings.
clearway.textscale.v1Whether you asked for bigger text.Yes, once you have an account — as settings.
clearway.identity.v1Your sign-in session: a random account id and the token that proves it is yours. It is here rather than in a cookie on purpose.It is the proof of who you are, so it is sent as a header when your work syncs — never automatically with every page you open, which is what a cookie would do.
clearway.device.v1A random number for this browser, stamped on each answer so the same answer arriving twice can be spotted as one.Yes, alongside each answer. It means nothing outside Lanekind and is not shared with anyone.
clearway.outbox.v1The queue of rows waiting to be sent, so nothing is lost when you answer with no signal.No. Its contents go; the queue itself never does.
clearway.watermarks.v1A bookmark of how far the last sync got, so the next one does not start again from the beginning.No.
clearway.entitlement.v1A cached copy of whether Premium is on, so the app knows offline.No. It is only ever pulled down, and it is written by a payment webhook rather than by this browser.
clearway.consent.v1Your answer to the question below, and the moment you gave it.No. Which is also why the answer applies to this browser and not to your other devices.

The answer log is not a tracker

It is the biggest thing in that table and the one most likely to be misread, so it gets its own heading.

clearway.answers.v1 holds one row for every question you have ever answered. That is a lot of data about you, and it is worth being exact about what it is for: it is the thing the app is made of. Which question comes back tomorrow, how long until you see it again, your predicted score and your run of days are all worked out from that log and from nothing else.

It is not a profile assembled about you in the background. You wrote every row in it by touching an answer, you can see the whole of it in the app, and you can take it away in one screen. A tracker is something that watches you without being the point; this is the point.

The distinction matters legally as well as morally. Storage that is strictly necessary to provide a service somebody has asked for does not need consent, and every key in that table is exactly that — take any one of them away and the app you asked for stops working, offline first. The analytics identifiers are the only storage here that is not necessary, and they are the only thing behind a question. The record of your answer to that question is in the table because it has to live somewhere; keeping it is what lets a refusal stick.

What is optional

One category, one question, and two answers of the same size.

If you agree, Lanekind sends a small set of events to PostHog — that a session started, that a mock test was passed, which screen you were on — so we can see which parts of the app help and which are ignored. They go to the European Union, at https://eu.i.posthog.com, against a random account id and not a name. PostHog will then keep identifiers of its own in this browser.

No free text is ever sent: not what you searched for, not the wording of a question, not the answer you picked, not your email address. That is enforced in code at the boundary rather than promised, and the privacy policy explains exactly how.

Until you answer, nothing happens. The analytics library is not loaded, no identifier is set, and no event is queued — and an unanswered question is never treated as a yes.

Your choice

It is saved in this browser, it applies to this browser, and you can change it here as often as you like.

Count how I use Lanekind

One question, two answers of the same size. This is the only optional thing in the list above.

Clearing it, and what clearing it costs

You can wipe all of this from your browser’s settings — but read what goes with it first.

Every browser has a way to clear a site’s storage, usually under privacy or site settings, and doing it for this site removes all thirteen keys at once. That is a blunt instrument, and it is worth knowing what it takes with it:

  • Every answer that has not yet reached an account, along with your run of days and your predicted score. If you have never signed in, that is all of it, and it is not recoverable.
  • Your sign-in. You would be signed out and would need the email code again.
  • Your answer to the question above, which means you would be asked it again — and until you answered, nothing would be counted.

If what you want is to remove your data rather than to reset this browser, the two screens below do it properly: one shows you what a copy would contain, the other deletes the lot from this browser, from any other device and from our end.
