Cookie Policy

Effective date: February 1, 2025

1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files stored on your device by your browser when you visit a website. They help websites remember your preferences, keep you logged in, and understand how you use the service. Similar technologies include local storage and session storage, which work in the same way but are stored differently in your browser.

2. How We Use Cookies

LastQbank uses only the cookies that are strictly necessary to operate the Service. We do not use advertising cookies or sell cookie data to third parties.

3. Cookies We Use

next-auth.session-tokenEssential

Authentication session. Keeps you logged in across page loads and browser tabs. Without this cookie the Service cannot function.

Duration: 30 days (or until you sign out)Set by: LastQbank
next-auth.csrf-tokenEssential

Cross-site request forgery protection. Ensures that form submissions originate from LastQbank and not from a malicious third party.

Duration: SessionSet by: LastQbank
next-auth.callback-urlEssential

Stores the page you were trying to visit before being redirected to login, so we can send you back there after authentication.

Duration: SessionSet by: LastQbank
__Secure-next-auth.*Essential

Secure variants of the NextAuth cookies used when the site is accessed over HTTPS.

Duration: Session / 30 daysSet by: LastQbank

Local and session storage: We store your current test state (question index, timer, in-progress answers) in browser session storage so that accidental page refreshes during a test do not lose your progress. This data is cleared automatically when you close your browser tab.

4. Third-Party Cookies

We use the following third-party services which may set cookies or use similar technologies:

  • Stripe — our payment processor sets cookies during the checkout flow to prevent fraud and remember your payment session. These cookies are subject to Stripe's Privacy Policy.
  • Vercel — our hosting provider may set technical cookies for performance and routing. No personal data is collected.

We do not use Google Analytics, Meta Pixel, or any other advertising or behavioural tracking cookies.

5. Managing Cookies

Because we only use essential cookies required for the Service to function, there is no cookie consent banner — the Service cannot operate without these cookies. If you disable cookies in your browser, you will not be able to log in or use LastQbank.

You can clear all cookies at any time through your browser settings. This will sign you out of the Service. Most browsers provide settings to view, block, or delete specific cookies:

  • Chrome: Settings → Privacy and security → Cookies and other site data
  • Firefox: Settings → Privacy & Security → Cookies and Site Data
  • Safari: Preferences → Privacy → Manage Website Data
  • Edge: Settings → Cookies and site permissions

6. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy when we add or change technologies on the Service. Changes will be reflected by the revised effective date above. Continued use of the Service after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
