Privacy Policy

How dorkify.com handles information, cookies, and tracking tools.

Last updated: September 14, 2026

Who we are

dorkify.com ("Dorkify," "we," "us," or "our") is a nerd-culture newswire covering games, movies, TV, collectibles, and related product launches. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect when you visit https://dorkify.com/, how we use it, and the choices you have.

Information we collect

Information you provide

• Email signup. If you join a mailing list or brief signup, we store the email address you submit and related signup metadata (such as list name, time, and source page).
• Messages you send us. If you contact us by email or another channel you choose, we receive whatever you include in that message.

Information collected automatically

• Log and usage data. Like most sites, our hosting and application layers may process IP address, browser type, device information, pages viewed, referring URLs, timestamps, and approximate location derived from IP.
• Cookies and similar technologies. We use cookies, local storage, pixels, and similar tools for necessary site functions, analytics, advertising, and (where enabled) social features.

Cookies, analytics, and advertising tools

Depending on your preferences and what we have enabled, dorkify.com may use cookie and tracking technologies from providers such as:

• Google Analytics (and related Google measurement tools) to understand traffic and how people use the site.
• Google Tag Manager to manage how tags and scripts load when configured in our desk Integrations settings.
• Meta / Facebook technologies (such as the Meta Pixel) for measurement and advertising-related features when advertising preferences allow.
• Microsoft Clarity for session analytics such as heatmaps and usage insights.
• Other similar vendors we may add over time for analytics, advertising, affiliate attribution, error monitoring, or social embeds.

These tools may set or read cookies, collect device identifiers, and receive page-view or event data. Their own privacy policies also apply to how they process data.

Your cookie choices (opt out)

We provide an on-site cookie notice and preference controls. You can:

• Use Manage Preferences on the cookie bar to turn Analytics, Advertising, and Social Media categories on or off.
• Dismiss or save preferences; we store those choices in your browser (local storage) so future visits respect them.
• Change your mind later by opening cookie preferences again when available, or by clearing site data for dorkify.com and revisiting.

Necessary cookies needed for basic site function stay on. If you opt out of analytics or advertising categories, we do not load the related optional tags for that browser (for example, analytics and Google Tag Manager injection are gated on analytics consent). Browser settings, industry opt-out tools, and ad-platform controls can provide additional choices.

How we use information

• Operate, secure, and improve dorkify.com.
• Understand which desks and stories people read.
• Measure campaigns and (where you allow advertising cookies) support promotional work.
• Send email you signed up for, if any.
• Comply with law and protect the site against abuse.

Sharing

We share information with service providers that help us run the site (hosting, analytics, advertising, email, security). We do not sell your personal information as a standalone product. Some advertising and analytics partners may receive data as described above when those categories are enabled. We may disclose information if required by law or to protect rights, safety, and the integrity of the service.

Retention

We keep information only as long as needed for the purposes above, unless a longer period is required by law. Analytics vendors retain data under their own schedules. Email list records remain until you unsubscribe or we delete the list entry.

Children

dorkify.com is a general-audience nerd culture site. It is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13.

International visitors

If you visit from outside the United States, your information may be processed in the United States or other countries where our providers operate. Those locations may have different data-protection rules than your home country.

Your rights

Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, or restrict certain personal information, or to object to certain processing. Cookie preferences are the primary control for optional tracking on this site. For other requests, contact us using the details below. We may need to verify your request.

Changes

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The "Last updated" date at the top will change when we do. Continued use of the site after an update means you acknowledge the revised policy.
