Cookie Policy
Last updated: 19 May 2026
What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files placed on your device by a website. They're used to remember things like preferences, to keep you logged in, to measure how a site is used, or to deliver advertising.
Cookies we set
BroadbandSpeedChecker.net does not set any first-party tracking cookies. The site is a static tool and does not require login, accounts or personalisation, so we have no need to remember you between visits.
Note: if you opt to keep a history of your recent tests, this is stored in your browser's
localStorage, not as a cookie. It never leaves your device.
Third-party cookies
Some functionality on the site relies on third parties, which may set their own cookies in your browser:
| Provider | Purpose | More info |
|---|---|---|
| Cloudflare | Powers the speed test and protects the site from abuse and bots. May set short-lived security cookies (e.g. __cf_bm). |
Cloudflare cookies |
| Google AdSense (where displayed) | Shows advertising and may use cookies to personalise ads and measure ad performance. | How Google uses cookies in ads |
How to manage cookies
Most browsers let you control cookies through their settings: block all cookies, block third-party cookies only, clear cookies on exit, or delete specific cookies. Disabling cookies may affect parts of the site that depend on them (for example, security challenges from Cloudflare).
Changes
We may update this Cookie Policy as the site evolves — for example, when new third-party services are added. The "Last updated" date above will reflect any changes.
