Privacy Policy

Last updated: April 2026. Here's how we handle your data — written in plain English, because privacy policies shouldn't need a law degree to understand.

Who We Are

Easygoing Nerd (easygoingnerd.com) is a technology education and review website. This privacy policy explains what data we collect, why we collect it, and what we do with it.

What Data We Collect

Analytics Data

We use Google Analytics 4 to understand how people use our site — which pages are popular, how long people spend reading, and where visitors come from. This data is aggregated and anonymised. We don't track individual users across the web.

Cookies

Our site uses cookies for:

  • Analytics (Google Analytics): To measure site usage
  • Advertising (if display ads are shown): Ad networks may set cookies to serve relevant ads
  • Theme preference: To remember if you've chosen light or dark mode

You can disable cookies in your browser settings at any time.

Affiliate Links

When you click an affiliate link, the destination site may track that you arrived via our link. This is standard practice and is governed by the destination site's own privacy policy. We receive only aggregated commission reports — we never see your personal purchase details.

What We Don't Collect

  • We don't collect your name, email address, or any personal contact information
  • We don't have user accounts, logins, or registration
  • We don't sell data to third parties
  • We don't use tracking pixels beyond Google Analytics

Third-Party Services

We use the following third-party services:

Your Rights

Under GDPR and UK data protection law, you have the right to:

  • Access the data we hold about you
  • Request deletion of your data
  • Object to data processing
  • Lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority

Since we don't collect personal data beyond anonymised analytics, there is typically no personal data to access or delete.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this policy from time to time. The "last updated" date at the top will change when we do.
