Cookie Policy for DavidKeyes.com
To make your browsing experience with davidkeyes.com as smooth and delightful as possible, my site uses cookies. Not the chocolate chip kind (sorry!), but the little bits of data magic that can make websites run better. Here’s the lowdown on how cookies work here and how you can manage them to suit your vibe.
1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are teeny-tiny files stored on your device when you visit a website. Think of them as the friendly assistants that help websites remember what you like and make things run more efficiently. They help me understand how you interact with my site so I can keep improving it. No creepy spying—just better design vibes.
2. How Do I Use Cookies?
On davidkeyes.com, cookies are here to:
- Make the Site Run Smoothly: Cookies keep track of things like your navigation preferences, so the site feels intuitive and seamless.
- Help Me Improve: Analytics cookies (like Google Analytics) help me understand what you love about my site—whether it’s scrolling through my portfolio or exploring my blog posts. It’s all about creating a better experience for you!
- Keep Things Secure: Some cookies work behind the scenes to make sure your visits are secure and everything’s functioning as it should.
Don’t worry, I don’t collect anything that could personally identify you without your consent. That’s just not cool.
3. The Types of Cookies I Use
Here’s a quick snapshot of the cookie types you might encounter here:
- Essential Cookies: These are the must-haves that make the site functional. Without them, things might get a little wobbly.
- Performance and Analytics Cookies: These are my backstage passes to understand how visitors (that’s you!) interact with my site. Data stays anonymous!
- Functional Cookies: These help me remember your preferences—like your language choice—so you don’t have to reset it every visit.
I don’t use advertising cookies because, hey, I’m all about showcasing my work to genuine admirers.
4. Your Cookie Preferences
Not a fan of cookies? No worries—you’re totally in control! Here’s how you can manage them:
- Modify Your Browser Settings: Most browsers like Chrome, Safari, and Firefox have settings where you can delete cookies or prevent new ones from being saved.
- Opt-Out of Analytics: If you’d rather not share site usage data, you can disable analytics cookies using tools like [Insert Link for Opt-Out, e.g., Google Analytics Opt-Out Tool].
- Manage Preferences Here: If I use a cookie consent banner, you’ll find a “Manage Cookies” option—use it to pick your cookie preferences at any time.
Just keep in mind, disabling cookies might affect how some parts of the site function. But either way, you’re the one in the driver’s seat.
5. Updates to This Cookie Policy
I might tweak this policy now and then to keep things up to date with the latest tastes (and legal requirements). If I make significant changes, I promise to give you a heads-up. The “Last Updated” date at the top will tell you when the latest batch of clarity was baked.
