What we process
- Your consent choices. When you accept or refuse cookies, the consent platform stores your choice so the site can respect it. Consent platform provider: to be confirmed
- Analytics data, only if you agree to analytics cookies. Google Analytics records details such as the pages viewed, the type of device and browser, the country or region of the visit and the page you came from.
- Advertising data, only if you agree to advertising cookies. Google and its advertising partners use cookies and similar identifiers to show ads, limit how often the same ad appears, measure ads and detect fraud. Ads on this site are set up not to be personalised.
- Measurements while consent is refused. Before you choose, and if you refuse, Google tags can still send limited measurements that do not set or read cookies. Each one carries the time, browser details, the page you came from and a random number for that page load.
- Contact messages. If you use the contact form, we receive your message, the topic, your email address and your name if you give it.
- Server and security records. Our web server and our security provider log basic details of each request, such as the IP address, browser details, the page requested and the time.
We do not ask for your age, payment details or any account details, because there are no accounts. The only name we ever receive is one you choose to type into the contact form.

Children and the age of consent
In Ireland the digital age of consent is 16. Below that age, under Article 8 of the GDPR, an online service that relies on consent needs a parent or guardian to give or authorise it. People can start preparing for the theory test before they reach that age.

This site does not ask your age and has no accounts. Every part of it works if you refuse all optional cookies, and ads are set up not to be personalised.
Automated decisions
We make no decisions about you by automated means.
Do you have to give us data?
No. You can use the whole site without giving us any personal data beyond what every browser sends when it loads a page. The contact form needs an email address only so we can reply.
Changes to this notice
When what we process changes, for example when a provider is added, this notice is updated before the change takes effect. The cookie policy changes at the same time.
