In short
PECTAA Results and Exam Guide is an information website. We do not ask you to create an account, and we do not collect personal information unless you choose to send it to us through the contact form. Like most websites, we use cookies for basic analytics and to show advertising that keeps the site free.
Information we collect
Information you give us. If you use the contact form, we receive your name, email address and message. We use this only to reply and to fix any page you tell us about. We do not add you to a mailing list unless you sign up for one.
Information collected automatically. When you visit, our systems and our service providers may record standard technical data — your approximate location (from your IP address), browser and device type, the pages you view, and the site you came from. This is used to understand which pages are useful and to keep the site secure.
We do not knowingly collect information from children. The site is written for parents, teachers and older students; younger children should use it with an adult.
Cookies
Cookies are small files stored by your browser. We use them for:
- Essential functions — for example, remembering that you have dismissed the cookie notice.
- Analytics — to count visits and see which pages are read, in aggregate.
- Advertising — our advertising partners may set cookies to show relevant ads and measure their performance.
When you first visit, you can accept or decline non-essential cookies. You can also block or delete cookies in your browser settings; the site will still work, though some parts may be less convenient.
Advertising
We show advertising through third-party networks, which may include Google AdSense. These networks may use cookies and similar technologies to serve ads based on your visits to this and other websites. You can review and control personalised advertising through Google's Ad settings and through aboutads.info and Your Online Choices.
Third-party services
We rely on a small number of providers to run the site — for hosting, web fonts, analytics and advertising. Each has its own privacy policy and only receives the data needed for its function. We do not sell your personal information.
How long we keep data
Contact-form messages are kept only as long as needed to deal with your query and then deleted. Aggregated analytics data is kept in line with our providers' standard retention periods.
Your choices and rights
- Decline non-essential cookies, or clear them in your browser.
- Opt out of personalised advertising through the links above.
- Ask us what contact-form data we hold about you, or ask us to delete it, by writing to us on the contact page.
Changes to this policy
If we change how we handle data, we will update this page and change the date at the top. Significant changes will be noted on the site.
