Cookie Policy

Last Updated: March 08, 2025

Hey, digital explorers! At The Coding Nerds, we use cookies—not the edible kind, but tiny bits of code—to geek out on making your visit to http://thecodingnerds.com smooth and snappy. This Cookie Policy explains what they are, why we use them, and how you can tweak them. So, let’s decode the cookie jar!

1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small data packets we drop on your device when you browse our site. Think of them as nerdy breadcrumbs—they help us remember you, track how you navigate, and optimize our digital playground. We’re not cookie-stalking, just enhancing your experience.

2. Types of Cookies We Use

Here’s the lineup:

  • Session Cookies: Temporary helpers that vanish when you close your browser—like a short-term memory wipe.
  • Persistent Cookies: Stick around longer to recall your prefs (e.g., language settings) between visits.
  • Third-Party Cookies: Set by pals like Google Analytics to crunch usage stats or FreshBooks for client portal magic.

3. Why We Use Them

We deploy cookies to:

  • Make Things Work: Load pages fast and keep forms glitch-free.
  • Analyze Traffic: See what you love (via Google Analytics) so we can nerd out on better content.
  • Personalize: Tailor your visit—like suggesting blog posts you’ll dig.
  • No sneaky ads here—just pure functionality and insights!

4. Your Cookie Controls

You’re the admin! Most browsers let you block or delete cookies—check this guide for how-to’s. Heads-up: saying “no” might make some features lag (e.g., form submissions). Want to opt out of analytics? Try Google’s opt-out tool.

5. Third-Party Cookies

Our partners (e.g., Google, FreshBooks) may set their own cookies. Their rules apply—peek at Google’s Privacy Policy or FreshBooks’ Privacy for details. We don’t control those, but they help us serve you better.

6. Updates to This Policy

We might tweak this as our tech evolves—new tools, new cookies! The “Last Updated” date above will clue you in. Keep browsing, and you’re cool with the latest version.

7. Contact Us
