This page lists everything RBQexam stores in your browser. There are no advertising cookies and no tracking pixels. By default, no tool identifies you, locates you or builds a profile of you. Audience measurement with Google Analytics turns on only if you accept it in the cookie banner, and you can change your mind at any time.

3. Audience measurement
Only with your agreement, we measure audience on the site with Google Analytics 4, a Google service. Until you accept, Google’s script is not loaded, no Google Analytics cookie is set and nothing is sent to Google. If you accept, Google receives your IP address (Google Analytics 4 does not store it), your browser, your device, the pages viewed and your actions (sign-up, diagnostic, checkout start, purchase), with no name or email. This information is processed in the United States, outside Québec. Google’s advertising features are turned off. Your consent is the only basis for this collection (Law 25, s. 8.1).
You can decline or withdraw your agreement at any time with the “Manage cookies” link at the bottom of the pages or in your settings. Withdrawing stops the measurement and deletes the Google Analytics cookies from this device. Your choice is kept in your browser’s local storage. If you are signed in, it is also recorded on your account with the date, so that we can prove it.
Google Analytics cookies, set only after your agreement:
| Name | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|
_ga | Google Analytics (Google), only after your agreement: tells visitors apart from one visit to the next to count visits | 13 months |
_ga_<ID> | Google Analytics (Google), only after your agreement: keeps the state of the measurement session | 13 months |
4. How to delete them
You can delete cookies and local storage in your browser settings. Deleting the session cookies signs you out. Deleting local storage shows the messages you already closed again, including the cookie banner. To change your choice about audience measurement, use the “Manage cookies” link at the bottom of the pages.
