What Data do you save?
All the data we save is used for site operation, for example, if you logged in via email, we will store your email and a hashed version of your password (so even we can't see the password but you are still able to login with it). If you logged in via Facebook, we will store your facebook user id. We generally store your email address to give you the ability to convert your account from Google/Twitter/Facebook to one that uses your email+password (in case you won't to delete your social network account but still have access to your 10FastFingers account) and also to send you important system emails (password recovery for example). Here is a list of the data we store:

What about Cookies?
On 10FastFingers we place three main cookies for site functionality, these are:
- Language Cookie: By default 10FastFingers tries to guess the correct site language, so if you are from Germany, we show you the content of the page in german, if you are from France, we show it in french etc. Often times users pick english or a different language than the one we suggested and this information is stored in this cookie.
- Remember Me Cookie: With this cookie we ensure that you stay logged in on the site. If for example you visit 10FastFingers, login and do a typing test, but then leave for a couple of hours and do another Typing Test, you would have been logged out in the meantime and your score would be saved. With this cookie we can keep you logged in and make sure your score is saved. You can still use the logout function to logout and remove the cookies (helpful in internet cafes or if you use 10FastFingers on other computers than your own).
- Preferred Language Cookie: 10FastFingers is a multilanguage site and has users from all over the world. The first time you come to 10FastFingers we check your browser default language settings and compare it to the typing test you visited. Often times users from around the world start on the english typing test but don't even realise that we might offer a typing test in their native language. We then suggest a different typing test. The cookie is then placed on the users computer to make sure that we don't suggest him a different typing test everytime he visits 10FastFingers (most users just prefer to type in english).
