To make this site work properly, we sometimes place small data files called cookies on your device.
What are cookies?
A cookie is a small text file that a website saves on your computer or mobile device when you visit the site. It enables the website to remember your actions and preferences (such as login, language, font size and other preferences) over a period of time. This way, you don’t have to keep re-entering your preferences whenever you come back to the site or browse from one page to another.
Necessary cookies
These cookies are essential. They allow you to move around websites or online properties and use their features, such as accessing secure areas of a website. Without these cookies, GEEKOMEDIA cannot provide services you have asked for, like secure login areas, shopping baskets or e-billing. By using this Site, you agree that we may place these type of cookies on your device.
Performance cookies
Collect information about how visitors use a website or online property. For instance, which pages visitors often visit the most, and if they get error messages from web pages. They don’t collect information about the actual identity (e.g. first and last name) of a visitor. All the information that these cookies collect is aggregated and anonymous. They are only used to improve how a website or other online property works. We generally contract with independent research and measurement companies, such as Google Analytics, to provide these services on our behalf.

Allow the website or online property to remember choices you make (such as user name, language or region you are in) and provide enhanced personal features. They can also be used to remember changes you have made to the text size, fonts and other parts of web pages that you can customize. They may also be used to provide services you have asked for, such as watching a video.
The information that these cookies collect may be anonymous and they cannot track your browsing activity on other websites. By using this Site, you agree that we may place these type of cookies on your device.
Advertising cookies
They are used to deliver adverts more relevant to you and your interests. Also, they help limit the number of times you see an advertisement, as well as to measure the effectiveness of the advertising campaign. They are usually placed by advertising networks with the website or online property operator’s permission. They remember that you have visited a website and so this information is shared with other organizations such as advertisers. Advertising cookies are often linked to a site functionality that is provided by the other organization.
Third Parties
In some countries, GEEKOMEDIA may partner with third party online advertising and analytic companies to tailor and deliver advertisements, products, services and promotions. Together with other online properties which we do not control. To help select the best ads for you, these companies may use cookies, Flash technology and similar technologies to collect and track information. Such as demographic data (gender, occupation, etc.), aggregated information, search keywords, geo-location and device-related data (browser type, language, IP address, time/date). This is to select advertisements that are more relevant to your interests, to better personalize your experience and tailor advertisements. Third-parties may also use cookies or similar technologies to collect anonymous or device-related information about your visits to GEEKOMEDIA. Thus, to provide third-party advertisements about goods and services likely to be of greater interest to you.
GEEKOMEDIA may use and share anonymous or aggregated information obtained from cookies with third parties such as Vendors or advertising partners. An example of the use of such information would be creating interest categories or segments based on region, preferences, or a combination. We may also share personal and non-personal identifiable information obtained from cookies with third parties. This will allow them to provide services on our behalf or to partner with us in selecting and serving advertisements for us or our advertising partners.
