This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are, how Geekflare (“we,” “us,” or “our”) uses them on our website geekflare.com and related services (collectively, the “Services”), and your choices regarding cookies.

This policy should be read together with our Privacy Policy, which explains how we use your personal information. By using our Services, you consent to the use of cookies in accordance with this policy.

1. What Are Cookies and Tracking Technologies?

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work, or work more efficiently, as well as to provide information to the owners of the site.

We may also use other similar technologies like web beacons (or “pixels”) and local storage. These technologies function like cookies to store information or access information stored on your device. For simplicity, we refer to all of these as “cookies” in this policy.

Cookies can be “first-party” (set by Geekflare) or “third-party” (set by a different domain than the one you are visiting).

2. How We Use Cookies

We use cookies for several reasons. Some cookies are required for technical reasons in order for our Services to operate, and we refer to these as “strictly necessary.” Other cookies enable us to track and target the interests of our users to enhance the experience on our Services, such as by analyzing our website traffic. Finally, third parties serve cookies through our Services for advertising, analytics, and other purposes.

3. Types of Cookies We Use

We classify the cookies we use into the following categories:

3.1. Strictly Necessary Cookies

These cookies are essential for you to browse our Services and use their features, such as accessing secure areas of the site like your account dashboard or processing payments for subscriptions. These cookies must be enabled for the site to function, and they may not store any personally identifiable information.

An example – Session cookies for user logins, security cookies to prevent cross-site request forgery (CSRF), and cookies managed by our payment processor during checkout.

3.2. Performance and Analytics Cookies

These cookies collect information about how you use our Services, such as which pages you visit most often and if you receive error messages from web pages. This information helps us understand user behavior and improve our Services. The information collected is aggregated and therefore anonymous.

An example – Cookies set by Google Analytics, Hotjar or PostHog to help us analyze website traffic and user engagement.

3.3. Functionality Cookies

These cookies allow our Services to remember choices you make, like your user name, language, or the region you are in, and provide enhanced, more personal features. For instance, they can be used to remember your preferences so you don’t have to re-enter them.

3.4. Advertising and Targeting Cookies

These cookies are used to deliver advertisements more relevant to you and your interests. They are also used to limit the number of times you see an advertisement as well as help measure the effectiveness of an advertising campaign. They are usually placed by advertising networks with our permission. They remember that you have visited a website, and this information is shared with other organizations such as advertisers.

4. Third-Party Cookies

In addition to our own cookies, we may also use various third-party cookies to report usage statistics of the Service, deliver advertisements, and so on. Below are some of the key third parties that may set cookies when you use our Services:

Google Analytics, Google AdSense, Hotjar, PostHog, New Relic
Stripe, PayPal, Wise
Cloudflare

Please note that we do not control these third-party cookies. We recommend you review the privacy and cookie policies of these providers to understand how they use your data.

5. Your Choices and How to Manage Cookies

5.1. Acceptance as a Condition of Service

To access and use our Services, you must accept the use of cookies as described in this policy.

When you first visit our site, you will be presented with a consent banner. By continuing to use our Services, you are agreeing to our use of all cookies. If you do not agree, you will not be able to access the Services.

We require this for the following reasons:

Strictly necessary cookies are required for security, user session management (logins), and ensuring the basic features of our site work.
Analytics cookies are integral to how we monitor, troubleshoot, and improve our Services.
To support the significant costs of creating high-quality technical content and offering powerful tools for free, we rely on revenue from advertising. Advertising cookies are essential for the operation of this model.

5.2. Managing Cookies via Your Browser

While our Services require acceptance, you retain ultimate control over cookies through your web browser’s settings. You can modify your browser settings to refuse some or all cookies or to alert you when cookies are being sent.

However, if you disable or refuse cookies through your browser, please note that some parts of our Services may become inaccessible or not function properly, as they are built to operate with cookies enabled.
