Last updated: October 2025

This Cookie Policy explains how Nam Nguyen / Octomind Publishing uses cookies and similar technologies on [namnguyen.ca].

1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website.
They help improve user experience, remember preferences, and analyze site performance.

2. Types of Cookies We Use

We use several types of cookies to ensure the website functions smoothly and to help us understand how visitors interact with our content:

Essential cookies
These are required for the website to operate properly. They manage functions such as page navigation, security, and loading performance. Without them, the site wouldn’t function as intended. Squarespace uses these cookies automatically.

Analytics cookies
These cookies help us understand how visitors use the website — which pages are most viewed, how long people stay, and how they arrived here. This anonymous data allows us to improve the user experience and make content more relevant. We may use tools such as Squarespace Analytics or Google Analytics for this purpose.

Preference cookies
These remember your personal settings and choices — for example, your selected language, newsletter preferences, or cookie consent status — so you don’t have to re-enter information every time you visit.

Marketing and social media cookies
Occasionally, cookies may be set by third-party services connected to our site, such as LinkedIn or Goodreads, to make it easier to share content or measure engagement. These cookies are optional and can be disabled through your browser settings.

3. How to Manage Cookies

You can control cookies through your browser settings by deleting or disabling them.
However, some parts of the website may not function correctly if cookies are disabled.

You can also manage preferences through any cookie banner provided on the site.

4. Third-Party Cookies

Some cookies are set by third-party services integrated with this Site, such as:

  • Squarespace analytics

  • Google Analytics (if enabled)

  • ConvertKit or Mailchimp (for newsletter sign-ups)

These third parties have their own cookie and privacy policies.

5. Updates to This Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy as our use of cookies evolves or as regulations change.
Revised versions will be posted here with the updated date.
