This page explains what cookies and similar technologies geeksubnet.com uses, why, and how you can control them. For a broader description of how we handle your data, see the Privacy Policy.
A cookie is a small text file a website stores in your browser. It can hold a preference, a session identifier, or an advertising token. Some are deleted when you close the tab (session cookies); others persist for months. We also use the browser's local storage for purely client-side preferences — those are not transmitted anywhere.
These cannot be turned off because the site cannot function without them. They store no personally identifying information.
| Name | Type | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
| geeksubnet-tweaks | localStorage | Your UI preferences (theme, density, effects toggles) | Persistent until cleared |
| geeksubnet-history | localStorage | Last 8 IPv4 calculations for the History sidebar | Persistent until cleared |
| geeksubnet-score | localStorage | Quiz mode score and progress | Persistent until cleared |
You can clear these at any time via your browser settings (e.g. Chrome: Settings → Privacy → Cookies and other site data → See all site data → search "geeksubnet").
These are set by Google AdSense when ads are shown. They support ad delivery, frequency capping, fraud prevention, and — only if you give consent — personalized advertising.

The first time you visit geeksubnet from the EEA, UK or Switzerland, a banner asks for your cookie preferences. You can click Allow, Deny, or Manage options to choose granularly. Your choice is remembered.
To change your mind later, click the button below or use the preferences link in the sidebar footer of any page:
You can also block or delete cookies through your browser settings. Note that blocking strictly necessary cookies will not affect this site (we don't use any such cookies — only localStorage), but blocking advertising cookies will mean you only see non-personalized ads.
geeksubnet honors browser-level "Do Not Track" signals where it controls them. However, third parties (Google) may not — refer to their respective privacy policies linked from our Privacy Policy.
