Privacy: what reading these pages leaves behind

• There is nowhere to register or log in.
• The site offers no form, newsletter or comment thread.
• Pages set no cookies and leave nothing in the browser's local storage.
• Advertising, ad networks and affiliate tags are absent.
• No analytics, social or tracking code from another company loads. Even the typefaces ship with the site, so no font provider is contacted.

Cloudflare hosts the site, and a small worker program there looks at each request to nowpracticing.com once the response has gone out. It writes a line only if every one of these holds:

1. what was requested is a page, not an image, font or style sheet, and it loaded without error;
2. it is a real load, not a prefetch the browser made on its own;
3. the visit has an outside origin: the browser passed along the address of a different website, the link had utm_source in its address, or an AI service did the fetching.

For the third case, the worker knows the agents that fetch a page because a person asked or to build an AI search index, from Mistral, Perplexity and DuckDuckGo to ChatGPT and Claude. Crawlers collecting training data for AI models are skipped.

Clicking between pages here, typing nowpracticing.com or using a bookmark sends no outside origin, so those visits produce no line at all.

• which page was opened, by its path (for example /pmh-bc/practice-test/);
• the outside address the browser reported, when there is one;
• the link's utm tags for source, medium and campaign, when present;
• the IP address of the connection;
• the network operator, by name and by autonomous system number (ASN);
• Cloudflare's location estimate, down to city, with region and country;
• the user-agent string the browser sends;
• the agent name, when an AI service made the request.

Cloudflare forwards the line to the site's own statistics server. Your browser plays no part in it, and the page delivered to you is byte for byte the same with or without a line.

One question: which sources bring readers to which pages, whether search engines, AI assistants or other websites. The statistics server sorts each record by source and marks automated traffic. The records are not used for advertising, and no profile of a visitor is built from them.

Scoring on the practice tests happens in a script inside your browser. Your picks, the running score and the explanations you open are not transmitted, and reloading or closing the tab clears them.

Pages link to ANCC, Prometric and the other bodies whose documents are cited. Every page here sets its Referrer-Policy header to no-referrer-when-downgrade. The effect is that a secure (https) site you click through to receives the full URL of the page here where you clicked, and a site on plain http receives nothing. From there, that site's own privacy terms govern.

Requests to the site pass through Cloudflare, its host, which keeps technical logs of its own and filters abusive traffic under its own terms (Cloudflare's privacy policy). This notice was last revised on November 14, 2026.
