Cookie Policy, GeekTech

1. What cookies are

Cookies are small text files a website stores in your browser. Similar technologies, such as local storage and session storage, work in the same way. We use them to run the site securely, remember your choices and, with your consent, understand how the site is used.

2. Categories

Strictly necessary: Required for the site to work securely: remembering your consent choice, protecting forms from spam and bots, and completing a request you started. These can't be switched off.
Preferences: Remember choices such as dismissed banners and popups across visits, and load the embedded booking calendar (Cal.com) automatically.
Analytics: Help us understand how the site is used (Google Analytics 4) so we can improve it. Data is aggregated; we never send names or email addresses to analytics.
Marketing: we don't use marketing or advertising cookies.
Cookieless measurement: our host, Vercel, counts page views and measures page speed without cookies or local storage. It's described in our privacy policy.
