Cookie Policy
Last updated: October 8, 2026
This Cookie Policy explains how HSK1.org (“we”, “our”, or “us”) uses cookies and similar technologies when you visit or use our website.
This policy explains these technologies; visiting HSK1.org does not by itself constitute consent to optional cookies. Where consent is required, it must be obtained separately.
1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that are stored on your device when you visit a website. They help websites remember information about your visit, such as your preferences, login status, or how you use the site.
We may also use similar technologies, such as local storage, session storage, pixels, and analytics tools.
2. How We Use Cookies and Similar Technologies
We may use cookies and similar technologies for the following purposes:
Essential Cookies
These cookies are necessary for the website to work properly. They may be used for login, account access, payment processing, security, fraud prevention, and basic website functionality.
Preference Cookies
These cookies help remember your preferences, such as language settings, display settings, or other choices you make while using the website.
Learning Progress and Practice Data
HSK1.org may use browser storage, such as local storage, to remember your practice progress, answers, test status, or learning activity.
This helps users continue learning without losing their progress.
Analytics Cookies
We may use analytics tools to understand how visitors use HSK1.org, such as which pages are visited, how long users stay on the site, and how the website can be improved.
Payment and Security Cookies
When you make a purchase or access paid features, third-party payment providers may use cookies or similar technologies to process payments, prevent fraud, and keep transactions secure.
Advertising Cookies
HSK1.org uses Google AdSense. Third-party advertising vendors, including Google and its partners, may place and read cookies, use web beacons, and collect IP addresses or other identifiers when serving ads. Advertising cookies may support ad delivery, measurement, frequency capping, and fraud prevention. Where personalized advertising is enabled and permitted, Google and its partners may use these cookies to show ads based on your visits to this and other websites.
Non-personalized advertising may also use cookies; choosing non-personalized ads does not automatically remove applicable consent requirements.
3. Third-Party Cookies
Some cookies may be set by third-party services that we use to operate, improve, or secure our website.
These third-party services may include:
- Payment providers
- Authentication or login providers
- Analytics providers
- Advertising providers, including Google AdSense and its advertising partners
- Hosting, security, or performance services
We do not directly control third-party cookies. Their use of cookies is governed by their own privacy and cookie policies.
See Google's advertising technologies and how Google uses information from partner sites and apps. Our Privacy Policy explains advertising-related data collection and sharing in more detail.
4. Local Storage
In addition to cookies, HSK1.org may use local storage in your browser to save learning progress, practice answers, test progress, or other site preferences.
Local storage stays on your device unless you clear your browser data or the website removes it.
5. Managing Cookies
You can control or delete cookies through your browser settings.
Most browsers allow you to:
- View cookies
- Delete cookies
- Block cookies
- Set preferences for certain websites
Please note that blocking or deleting some cookies may affect how HSK1.org works.
For example, login, payment, progress tracking, or certain practice features may not work properly.
You can manage Google's personalized advertising through Google Ads Settings, or opt out of personalized advertising from participating vendors through AboutAds choices. An advertising opt-out does not necessarily stop all ads or delete existing cookies.
If a consent message is displayed, use its available controls to accept or refuse optional uses and to change your choices. Browser settings and advertising opt-out tools are additional controls, not a replacement for consent where it is required.
6. Changes to This Cookie Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time.
If we make changes, we will update the “Last updated” date at the top of this page.
