Cookies Policy

Last updated: June 2026

This Cookies Policy explains how SingingRangeTest.com uses cookies and similar tracking technologies when you visit or interact with this website. It describes what cookies are, which specific cookies this site uses and why, and how you can manage or disable them.

SingingRangeTest.com is operated by Sam Cooke (contact available via the Contact page).

By continuing to use this website, you consent to the use of cookies as described in this policy. You may withdraw consent at any time by adjusting your browser settings or using the opt-out options described below.

What Are Cookies

Cookies are small text files stored on your device — computer, phone, or tablet — when you visit a website. They allow the website to remember certain information about your visit and to provide services like analytics and advertising.

Cookies do not contain executable code and cannot access other data on your device. They are widely used by websites to make them function efficiently and to give website operators useful information about how their site is being used.

Cookies This Site Does NOT Use

Because the tests and tools on SingingRangeTest.com process microphone audio in real time using the Web Audio API, this site does not use cookies to:

Store, access, or transmit any audio input from your microphone
Record or retain any part of your voice or singing session
Track your vocal range results or test performance across sessions
Build profiles based on your voice type or singing test outcomes
Connect your microphone activity to any advertising identifier or personal profile

Your voice, your test results, and your singing session are never linked to any cookie, tracking identifier, or analytics profile. All audio processing is completely separate from the cookie and analytics systems that operate on this website.

Cookies This Site Uses

1. Essential Cookies

Essential cookies are required for the website to function correctly. They enable core features such as page navigation, tool loading, and basic session continuity. Without these cookies, certain parts of the website may not operate properly.

These cookies do not collect personally identifiable information and cannot be disabled without affecting site functionality.

2. Analytics Cookies — Google Analytics

SingingRangeTest.com uses Google Analytics to understand how visitors use the site — which pages and tools are visited, how long users stay, and where visitors come from geographically.

Google Analytics sets the following cookies on your device:

Cookie	Purpose	Lifespan
`_ga`	Distinguishes unique users for traffic measurement	2 years
`_gid`	Distinguishes users across sessions	24 hours
`_gat`	Throttles request rate to Google Analytics	1 minute

These cookies collect aggregated, anonymised data. They do not identify individual users and do not have access to your microphone, voice data, or test results.

Google Analytics data is processed by Google LLC and is subject to Google’s Privacy Policy at policies.google.com/privacy.

To opt out of Google Analytics tracking across all websites, install the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on at tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.

3. Advertising Cookies — Google AdSense

SingingRangeTest.com will use Google AdSense to display advertisements. Google AdSense uses cookies — including the DoubleClick cookie — to serve ads based on your prior visits to this website and other websites across the internet.

Google AdSense advertising cookies:

Are set by Google LLC, not directly by SingingRangeTest.com
May track browsing activity across sites in the Google Display Network
Enable interest-based advertising by Google and its partners
Do not have access to your microphone, voice recordings, or singing test results

Managing Google advertising cookies:

Opt out of personalised advertising from Google at any time:

Google Ads Settings: adssettings.google.com
Digital Advertising Alliance (US): optout.aboutads.info
EU Interactive Digital Advertising Alliance: youronlinechoices.eu
Network Advertising Initiative: optout.networkadvertising.org

Opting out of personalised ads does not remove advertising from the site — it means the ads shown will be less tailored to your browsing history.
