Privacy Policy
ComputingForGeeks respects your privacy. This policy explains what data we collect, how it is used, who has access to it, and what choices you have. We keep it straightforward because privacy policies should be readable, not just legally compliant.
What we collect
We collect minimal data, and most of it is handled automatically by our infrastructure providers rather than stored by us directly.
Server logs
Standard web server logs including your IP address, browser type, operating system, pages visited, and timestamps. These are used for security monitoring and troubleshooting, not for tracking individuals.
Comments and contact forms
If you leave a comment or use the contact form, we collect the name, email address, and message you provide. This information is stored in our database and is not shared with third parties.
Analytics data
Aggregated, non-personal analytics data such as page views, popular content, and traffic sources. This helps us understand which guides are most useful and where to focus our efforts.
Cookies and tracking
Cookies are small text files stored on your device by your browser. We use them for essential site functionality and, through our partners, for advertising.
Essential cookies
Required for basic site functionality: session management, comment authentication, and security tokens. These cannot be disabled without breaking core features.
Advertising cookies
Set by Ezoic and its advertising partners to serve relevant ads, measure ad performance, and build audience segments. These may track your browsing activity across websites.
Performance cookies
Used by Cloudflare (our CDN) for load balancing, DDoS protection, and caching. These improve site speed and reliability but do not track personal information.
Third-party services
We use a small number of third-party services to operate this site. Each has its own privacy policy governing how they handle data.
Ezoic (advertising)
Manages ad delivery and may collect IP address, device info, browser type, language, and hashed email for personalized advertising. View Ezoic’s privacy policy
Cloudflare (CDN & security)
Provides content delivery, caching, and DDoS protection. Cloudflare processes request data (IP, headers) to route traffic efficiently. View Cloudflare’s privacy policy
Affiliate networks
Amazon Associates, Hetzner, and other affiliate programs may set cookies when you click affiliate links. See our affiliate disclosure for details.
Your rights and choices
You have control over your data. Here is what you can do.
Access your data
You can request a copy of any personal data we hold about you. Contact us and we will provide it within 30 days.
Delete your data
Request deletion of your comments, contact form submissions, or any other personal data. We will remove it unless we have a legal obligation to retain it.
Opt out of tracking
Disable cookies in your browser settings, use an ad blocker, or visit YourAdChoices to opt out of interest-based advertising. You can also browse with Do Not Track enabled.
Data security
We take reasonable measures to protect your data. The site is served over HTTPS, our server is regularly updated and patched, and access to the database is restricted to authorized administrators. However, no method of electronic transmission or storage is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
Children’s privacy
ComputingForGeeks is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 13 years of age. If you believe a child has provided us with personal data, please contact us and we will promptly delete it.
Changes to this policy
We may update this privacy policy from time to time. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated date. Continued use of the site after changes are posted constitutes your acceptance of the revised policy.
Last updated: March 2026. If you have questions about this privacy policy or want to exercise your data rights, reach out via our contact page.
