Privacy policy.
No advertising, no tracking cookies, no accounts. This page explains, in plain English, exactly what happens to information when you use the site, which is very little.
The short version. This site does not run advertising, does not use tracking cookies, and does not ask you to create an account or hand over personal details. The only thing stored on your device is your progress in the grammar game, and that never leaves your browser.
Who runs the site, and what this policy is.
Proper English Grammar is a free IELTS preparation site run by Adam J. Smith, an independent English tutor. This policy explains what happens to information when you use the site. It is written in plain English on purpose. If anything here is unclear, you can reach Adam through the Preply profile.
Almost nothing, and nothing that identifies you.
There are no sign-ups, no contact forms that store your details, no newsletter, no analytics scripts and no advertising trackers on this site. Because of that, the site itself does not build any profile of who you are or what you do.
Two ordinary technical things still happen, as they do on any website. First, the site is hosted by Netlify, and like all web hosts Netlify processes standard server information (such as your IP address and the pages requested) to deliver the site and keep it secure. Second, your own browser handles the fonts and files the pages need. Neither of these is used to identify you or to track you across other sites.
Your progress stays on your device.
The grammar game saves your progress (your current level, which questions you have seen, and how many rounds you have played) in your browser’s local storage. This is a convenience feature so the game can pick up where you left off. That information is never sent anywhere, is not shared with anyone, and is not visible to Adam or to anyone else. You can wipe it at any time using the reset button on the game’s end screen, or by clearing your browser’s site data. Nothing else on the site stores anything on your device.
No consent banner, because there is nothing to consent to.
This site sets no advertising or analytics cookies, so there is no cookie banner. The only storage used is the strictly functional local storage described above, which most privacy rules treat as exempt from consent because it does nothing but remember your own game progress. Because the site does not track you across the web in the first place, a browser “Do Not Track” signal has nothing extra to switch off here.
Once you leave, their rules apply.
The site links out to a few other places, including Preply (for lessons), Amazon (for the book) and ketodive.life. When you follow one of those links you are on someone else’s site, under their privacy policy, not this one. Lessons are booked and delivered entirely through Preply, so any personal details involved in booking are handled by Preply under Preply’s terms.
Contact, rights, and the date of this policy.
Because the site collects no personal data directly, there is little for it to show, correct or delete. If you have any question about privacy, or you believe a host-level log involves you and you want to ask about it, contact Adam through the Preply profile. Where data-protection law gives you rights of access, correction or erasure, those requests will be honoured as far as the site is able.
This policy may be updated if the site changes, for example if analytics are ever added, in which case this page will say so plainly. This version is current as of July 2026.
