Privacy Policy

Last updated: August 2026

PanelNerd is operated by Hicham Fadel, an independent publisher. This policy explains what information is collected when you visit this site and how it is used.

Information we collect

PanelNerd does not collect personal information directly. We do not require account registration, run contact forms that store submissions, or collect email addresses for marketing purposes.

When you visit this site, standard server log data is collected by our hosting infrastructure (Cloudflare Pages). This includes IP address, browser type, referring URL, and pages visited. This data is retained by Cloudflare according to their own privacy policy and is used for security and performance purposes only.

Analytics

This site uses Google Analytics 4 to understand traffic patterns and content performance. GA4 collects anonymised usage data including pages visited, session duration, and general geographic region. No personally identifiable information is transmitted. You can opt out of Google Analytics tracking using the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on.

Cookies

PanelNerd does not set first-party cookies beyond what Google Analytics requires for session tracking. We do not use tracking pixels or fingerprinting technologies.

Some pages on this site contain links to contractor platforms and third-party services. If you click one of these links, the destination site may set cookies on your device according to their own privacy policy.

Affiliate and referral links

Some links on this site are referral or affiliate links. When you click one and take a qualifying action — such as requesting a contractor quote — PanelNerd may earn a referral fee from the platform at no extra cost to you. Active referral relationships are disclosed on the relevant pages and in our affiliate disclosure.

Third-party services

This site is hosted on Cloudflare Pages. Cloudflare's privacy policy applies to infrastructure-level data processing.

This site self-hosts all fonts. No font requests are made to Google or any third-party CDN.

External links

PanelNerd links to external sources including government agencies, utility companies, and contractor platforms. These sites operate under their own privacy policies. We are not responsible for their data practices.

Your rights

Since PanelNerd does not collect or store personal data directly, there is no personal data held about you to access, correct, or delete. Questions about data held by Cloudflare or Google should be directed to those services directly.

Changes to this policy

This policy may be updated when the site's data practices change. The date at the top of this page reflects the most recent revision.
