- Performance & Analytics: Collect anonymous data about how visitors use QuizMaster (e.g., which quizzes are most popular, load times). We use Google Analytics and similar tools to improve our service.
- Functionality: Remember your preferences, such as dark/light mode, preferred difficulty, or previously taken quiz progress.
- Advertising / Targeting (if applicable): We may use cookies to deliver relevant ads about our quizzes on third-party platforms. You can opt out via your cookie consent tool.
