Do we use cookies?

Geek Strong does not use advertising, tracking, or behavioral analytics cookies. We use privacy-friendly, cookieless analytics and intentionally minimize the collection of personal data.

Analytics (privacy-friendly)

This analytics setup:

The goal is to improve Geek Strong — not monitor people.
