Privacy policy

Last updated: 2 November 2026

What stays on your device

Camera images, microphone audio, key presses, pointer movements and other sensor data are processed in your browser and never sent to our servers. The network, ping and speed tests exchange data with our server only to measure timing, and that data is discarded immediately.

Visit statistics

We record anonymous usage statistics to improve the site: pages visited, time on page, referring website, approximate country (derived from your IP address, which is not stored), device type, browser, operating system, screen size and language, and which tools are started or completed. If you accept cookies, a first-party cookie (oht_vid) recognises returning visitors for up to 13 months. If you reject cookies, we use a daily-changing anonymous identifier instead. Statistics are kept for up to 13 months.

Advertising and Google services

We show ads through Google AdSense and may use Google Analytics. These services can use cookies to show relevant ads and measure performance. Personalised ads and Google cookies are only enabled after you accept them in the cookie banner. Learn more at policies.google.com/technologies/ads.

Payments

Voluntary support payments are handled by Stripe. We receive your name, email and the amount, but never your card details. Stripe's privacy policy applies to the payment.

Messages

When you use the contact form we store your name, email and message so we can reply. We delete messages on request.

Shared results

If you click “Share result” or “Share report”, you first see exactly which values will be saved: the numbers shown in the tool and your device type (for example “Windows · Chrome”). Nothing else is stored. You can delete a shared result from the same browser at any time; otherwise it is deleted after 12 months.

Benchmarks and guide feedback

When you finish the CPU benchmark or GPU test, the scores are added anonymously to our public rankings together with your graphics chip name, operating system, browser, CPU thread count and approximate memory, unless you untick “Add my score anonymously to the public rankings”. When you answer “Did this guide fix your problem?”, we store your answer and optional comment. Neither is linked to cookies, your name or your IP address; a short-lived hashed value is used only to prevent spam.

Server logs and security checks

To deliver pages and block abuse, our server and our hosting and security providers (such as Cloudflare) process your IP address. Server logs are kept only as long as needed for security. The contact form and admin sign-in may show a Cloudflare Turnstile check, which processes technical browser data to tell people from bots; Cloudflare's privacy policy applies to it.

Your choices and rights

You can change your cookie choice at any time with the “Cookie settings” link in the footer, block cookies in your browser, or ask us to access or delete data linked to you via the contact page.
