Cookies & Storage

Last updated: October 2026

The Short Version

There is nothing to accept or refuse here, because there is nothing to refuse: PreNurse only uses cookies and browser storage that the site needs to do what you asked it to — keep you signed in, protect sign-in, and remember your own settings. No analytics, no advertising, no tracking. That is why you never see a cookie banner on this site: the EU's ePrivacy rules only require consent for storage that isn't strictly necessary, and we don't use any.

What We Don't Use

No advertising cookies
No analytics cookies or scripts (Google Analytics, Mixpanel, etc.)
No social media tracking pixels (Meta, X, LinkedIn, TikTok)
No retargeting, fingerprinting, or cross-site tracking

The site does keep anonymous daily counts — for example, how many practice visits came from another website — but they are worked out on our server from the page request itself. Nothing is stored in your browser for them, and they contain no id that could identify you.

Managing Cookies

The essential cookies are required for basic site functionality (sign-in). You can clear them at any time through your browser's settings, but you'll be signed out.

All major browsers let you view, delete, and block cookies. Here's how for common browsers:
