About This Policy
This Cookie Policy explains how PCTPracticeExam.com uses cookies and similar browser technologies when you access its Patient Care Technician practice exams, questions, explanations, articles, and study resources.
It also explains how you can accept, reject, or change your cookie preferences.
What Cookies Are
Cookies are small text files stored on your computer, phone, tablet, or other device when you visit a website. Similar technologies include local browser storage, scripts, and tags.
Cookies can support essential website functions, remember preferences, and help website operators understand how their services are used.
Cookies We Use
PCTPracticeExam.com uses two categories of cookies:
Necessary Cookies
Necessary cookies or browser storage remember your cookie-consent choice and support essential website functions. They prevent the consent notice from appearing every time you open a new page.
These technologies are not used for advertising or audience measurement. Your preference is retained until it expires, you change your choice, or you clear the website data stored in your browser.
Analytics Cookies
PCTPracticeExam.com uses Google Analytics to understand general website activity and improve its educational content.
Google Analytics may process:
- Pages visited;
- Visit dates and times;
- General interactions with the website;
- Session information;
- Referring pages;
- Browser and device type;
- Operating system;
- Approximate geographic area; and
- IP address during transmission.
According to Google’s current documentation, Google Analytics receives an IP address while collecting data but does not log or store that address.
Google Analytics is used for website measurement. PCTPracticeExam.com does not intentionally send names, email addresses, patient information, or practice-test answers to Google Analytics.
Google Analytics Cookies
Google Analytics may set the following cookies after you consent:
| Cookie | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|
| _ga | Uses a randomly generated identifier to distinguish visitors for website statistics | Up to 2 years |
| _ga_* | Maintains session information for the applicable Google Analytics property | Up to 2 years |
Cookie durations may be shortened if you delete cookies, change browser settings, or withdraw consent.
Your Consent Choices
Google Analytics cookies are optional. They will not be activated until you select the option to accept analytics cookies where consent is required.
You may:
- Accept analytics cookies;
- Reject analytics cookies;
- Use the website’s main educational features after rejecting analytics cookies; or
- Change or withdraw your choice through the cookie-consent panel.
Withdrawing consent prevents future Analytics collection after your updated choice is applied. It does not affect processing that occurred before consent was withdrawn.
If you clear your browser’s cookies or website data, PCTPracticeExam.com may no longer remember your selection and may ask you to choose again.
No Login Cookies
PCTPracticeExam.com does not require a login or user account to access its practice exams. It therefore does not use cookies to maintain a registered-user login session.
Browser Controls
Most browsers allow you to view, block, or delete cookies. You may also be able to restrict cookies for individual websites.
Blocking all cookies may prevent the website from remembering your consent preference. Rejecting only analytics cookies will not prevent you from reading educational content or completing practice questions that do not depend on those cookies.
Browser controls operate separately from the consent choices provided by PCTPracticeExam.com.
International Processing
Google may process Analytics information using systems located in different countries. Where international data-transfer requirements apply, information will be handled using appropriate legal mechanisms and safeguards.
Further information about data collection, privacy rights, retention, and security is provided in the PRIVACY POLICY.
Changes to This Cookie Policy
PCTPracticeExam.com may update this Cookie Policy if its cookies, Analytics configuration, consent tools, website features, or legal obligations change.
The “Last Updated” date will be revised when a new version takes effect.
