Cookie Policy

1.Introduction

This Cookie Policy explains how My Geeks LLC (“My Geeks,” “we,” “our,” or “us”) uses cookies and similar technologies when you visit https://mygeeks.us (the “Website”).

My Geeks LLC provides website design, website development, website redesign, website maintenance, website improvement, and custom website functionality services to individuals, professionals, small businesses, and other organizations.

Cookies and similar technologies may help websites operate, maintain security, remember preferences, understand visitor interactions, and support certain third-party services.

This Policy explains what cookies are, why they may be used on our Website, how third parties may use similar technologies, and how visitors can manage their preferences.

This Cookie Policy should be read together with our Privacy Policy and any applicable privacy notices displayed on the Website.

2.What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that a website may store on your computer, mobile device, or other internet-connected device when you visit the website.

Cookies can allow a website to recognize a browser, remember certain settings, maintain a session, or support other functions.

Cookies may be set by the website you visit or by a third-party service operating through that website.

2.1First-Party Cookies

First-party cookies are set by the website you are visiting or by services operating on behalf of that website.

Depending on the Website's configuration, these cookies may support essential functionality, security, preference management, or other website operations.

2.2Third-Party Cookies

Third-party cookies are set by domains or services other than the website you are visiting.

They may be associated with services such as website analytics, embedded content, payment processing, advertising, or other external functionality.

The third parties involved, the cookies they use, and their purposes depend on which integrations are enabled on the Website.

2.3Session Cookies

Session cookies are generally designed to remain available during a browsing session and are normally removed when the browser session ends.

They may be used to support functions that require temporary information while you navigate a website.

2.4Persistent Cookies

Persistent cookies remain on a device for a defined period or until they are deleted.

Depending on their purpose, they may help remember preferences or support functions across multiple visits.

The duration of a cookie depends on its configuration and the service that sets it.

3.Why We May Use Cookies

My Geeks LLC may use cookies and similar technologies for the following purposes, depending on the features and services enabled on the Website.

3.1Strictly Necessary Cookies

Strictly necessary cookies may be used to support essential website operations, security, session management, or other functions required for a requested service to operate.

Where applicable law permits these cookies without consent because they are strictly necessary, they may be used for those limited purposes.

These cookies are not intended to be used for optional advertising or unrelated analytics purposes.

Disabling strictly necessary cookies through browser settings may affect the availability or functionality of certain parts of the Website.

3.2Functional Cookies

Functional cookies may help a website remember preferences or settings, such as selected options or other information that improves the visitor experience.

Whether these cookies are used depends on the Website's actual functionality.

Where required by applicable law, we will request consent before using functional cookies that are not strictly necessary.

3.3Analytics and Performance Cookies

If analytics tools are enabled, cookies or similar technologies may be used to understand how visitors interact with the Website.

Depending on the tool and its configuration, information may include pages visited, general navigation patterns, browser or device information, referring pages, and interaction events.

This information may help us identify technical problems, understand which pages are useful, and improve the Website's performance and usability.

Analytics tools and their providers may differ in the information they collect and how they process it. We will provide appropriate disclosures and obtain consent where required by applicable law.

3.4Advertising and Marketing Cookies

If advertising or marketing technologies are enabled, cookies or similar technologies may be used to measure advertising effectiveness, understand interactions with marketing campaigns, or support advertising-related functions.

Some advertising technologies may allow a third-party provider to recognize a browser across websites or services, subject to that provider's technology and applicable settings.

My Geeks LLC does not claim that advertising cookies are currently active simply because they are described in this Policy. Their use depends on the actual configuration of the Website.

Where required by law, we will obtain consent before using non-essential advertising cookies or similar technologies and provide applicable opt-out options.

3.5Security and Fraud Prevention

Certain technologies may help identify unusual activity, protect the Website, reduce abuse, or support security-related functions.

The specific technologies used depend on our hosting environment, security configuration, and any third-party services integrated with the Website.

4.Similar Technologies

In addition to cookies, websites and third-party services may use other technologies that perform related functions.

Depending on the integrations enabled, these may include:

• Pixels or tracking tags: Small elements used to record certain interactions or measure activity.
• Local storage: Browser-based storage that allows websites to retain certain information on a device.
• Session storage: Temporary browser storage used to support functions during a browsing session.
• Server logs: Technical records generated when a browser or device requests resources from a website.
• Embedded content technologies: Technologies used when external content or services are displayed within a webpage.

These technologies may collect or process information differently from traditional cookies. Where applicable law requires consent or disclosure, we will handle them accordingly.

5.Information That May Be Collected

Depending on the technologies in use, cookies and similar technologies may collect or help process information such as:

• Browser type and version.
• Device type and general technical characteristics.
• Operating system information.
• IP address or information derived from it.
• Pages visited and the sequence of navigation.
• Date and time of website visits.
• Referring pages or campaign information.
• Preferences and certain website interactions.
• Session identifiers or other technical identifiers.

The information collected depends on the specific cookie, service, and configuration.

We do not intend for cookies to collect payment card security codes or other sensitive payment information for general analytics or marketing purposes.

For more information about how personal information is handled, please review our Privacy Policy.

6.Cookie Consent and Preferences

Where applicable law requires consent before non-essential cookies or similar technologies are used, we will seek consent through an appropriate mechanism before enabling those technologies.

Depending on the Website's configuration, visitors may be offered options to:

• Accept all applicable optional cookies.
• Reject non-essential cookies.
• Select particular categories of cookies.
• Change or withdraw their preferences later.

Strictly necessary cookies may remain active where their use is permitted without consent under applicable law.

Consent choices should be presented clearly, and declining optional cookies should not require visitors to provide unnecessary personal information.

Where a consent-management mechanism is provided, visitors should use that mechanism to review or change their choices.

The actual availability of a cookie preference panel depends on whether an appropriate consent-management tool has been installed and configured on the Website.

7.Managing Cookies Through Your Browser

Most modern browsers provide settings that allow users to review, block, restrict, or delete cookies.

You can generally find these controls in your browser's privacy, security, or website-settings section.

Depending on your browser, you may be able to:

• Block all cookies.
• Block third-party cookies.
• Delete existing cookies.
• Allow cookies only for selected websites.
• Receive notifications when cookies are stored.
• Clear website data when you close the browser.

The precise controls vary by browser and version. Consult the support information for your browser if you need instructions for a particular setting.

Please note that blocking or deleting cookies may affect certain website features, including functions that depend on sessions or stored preferences.

Browser-level controls may not provide a complete way to manage every type of tracking technology. Where applicable law requires additional consent or opt-out mechanisms, those mechanisms should be provided separately.

8.Third-Party Services

Our Website may use services provided by independent third parties to support website hosting, security, analytics, payment processing, embedded content, communications, or other functionality.

Where those services use cookies or similar technologies, the relevant provider may collect or process information according to its own privacy policy, terms, and technical configuration.

My Geeks LLC does not control all technologies operated by independent third-party providers.

Third-party services and their practices may change over time. Visitors should review the relevant provider's privacy and cookie information where additional details are needed.

We will update our disclosures as appropriate when material changes to the Website's actual cookie practices require an update.

9.International Visitors

Visitors may access our Website from different countries, where privacy and cookie laws may differ.

Depending on the visitor's location and applicable law, consent requirements, disclosure obligations, and available privacy rights may vary.

Where required, we will use appropriate consent mechanisms, provide relevant information, and honor applicable choices concerning non-essential cookies and similar technologies.

Nothing in this Policy is intended to remove any privacy right that cannot lawfully be excluded.

10.Data Retention

The retention period for information collected through cookies and similar technologies depends on the technology, its purpose, and its configuration.

Session cookies are generally intended to expire when a browsing session ends. Persistent cookies may remain for a defined period or until they are deleted.

Information collected through analytics, security, or other third-party services may be retained according to the relevant service's configuration and applicable retention practices.

Where we control the relevant information, we will retain it only for as long as reasonably necessary for the applicable purpose, subject to legal, security, and recordkeeping requirements.

Deleting a cookie from your browser does not necessarily delete information already processed or retained by a service provider. Additional requests may be needed where applicable law provides a right to request deletion.

11.Security and Cookies

Cookies and similar technologies may support certain security functions, but they do not by themselves guarantee the security of a website, device, or online account.

We take reasonable steps appropriate to our Website and the services we use to protect information against unauthorized access, loss, or misuse.

No online system can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

Visitors should use appropriate device and browser security settings and avoid submitting passwords, payment card details, or other sensitive information through an insecure channel.

12.Children's Privacy

Our Website and services are intended for business and general professional use and are not directed to children under the age at which they can independently provide consent under applicable law.

We do not knowingly use cookies to collect personal information directly from children in circumstances where doing so would violate applicable law.

If you believe that information has been collected inappropriately, please contact us so that we can review the matter and take appropriate steps.

13.Changes to This Cookie Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy to reflect changes in our Website, the technologies we use, our business practices, or applicable legal requirements.

The latest version will be published at https://mygeeks.us with an updated Effective Date.

Where required by law, we will provide additional notice or request consent before making material changes to how non-essential cookies or similar technologies are used.

We encourage visitors to review this Policy periodically.
