What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. They help websites remember your preferences, secure your session, and deliver experiences that feel responsive and relevant. Cookies can be set directly by the site you are visiting (first-party) or by trusted services that help us with analytics, advertising, or embedded features (third-party).
On joshbc.com, cookies ensure core pages load securely, videos and forms work as intended, and we can measure performance to keep improving the experience for the cybersecurity community.
How do we use cookies?
We combine first-party cookies with carefully selected third-party tools to keep the site functional, secure, and informative. Primarily, cookies help us:
- •Maintain secure sessions so features like the newsletter sign-up and contact forms work reliably.
- •Remember your consent choices so you are not prompted repeatedly for the same decision.
- •Understand how visitors navigate the site through privacy-aware analytics from Microsoft Clarity and Google Analytics (only when you opt in).
- •Serve relevant and clearly labeled advertisements through Google AdSense that help sustain the free educational content.
- •Improve page performance, video playback, and embedded resources without sacrificing security.
