What this site collects
theretest.com has no accounts, no forms, no advertising and no tracking cookies.
Like any website, our hosting provider keeps standard server logs, such as IP address, browser type and pages requested, to run and secure the site.
We count visits with Vercel Web Analytics, from our hosting provider. It records which pages are viewed, the referring site, your device type, browser and operating system, and an approximate location (country, region and city). It doesn't use third-party cookies or collect anything that identifies you: visits are counted using a temporary code, created from the request, that is discarded after 24 hours.
