Who We Are

Our digital presence is marked by our website, accessible at The Cozy Babe.

Comments

When visitors grace our site with their comments, we gather the data displayed in the comments form. To bolster spam detection, we also collect the commenter’s IP address and browser user agent string.

A uniquely anonymized string (known as a hash), derived from your email address, may be sent to the Gravatar service to verify your use. Gravatar’s privacy policy is accessible here. Upon your comment’s approval, your profile image becomes publicly visible alongside your comment.

Media

We advise our visitors against uploading images that contain embedded location data (EXIF GPS). Be mindful that uploaded images accessible on the site can potentially allow location data extraction.

Cookies

Opting to leave a comment on our site enables a choice to save your name, email address, and website in cookies, enhancing your convenience by sparing you from repetitive data entry for subsequent comments. These cookies endure for one year.

A visit to our login page prompts the placement of a temporary cookie to check if your browser accepts cookies, devoid of personal data and expiring with your browsing session’s end.

Logging in incurs the setup of cookies to memorize your login details and viewing preferences. Login cookies are valid for two days, while screen options cookies last a year. Choosing “Remember Me” extends your login duration to two weeks. Logging out removes these cookies.

Editing or publishing an article results in a cookie saved on your browser, indicating the edited post’s ID, devoid of personal data and expiring after a day.

Embedded Content from Other Websites

Articles on our site may feature embedded content (e.g., videos, images, articles, etc.), which interacts identically to a visit to the originating website.

Such websites might collect data on you, employ cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your engagement with the embedded content, inclusive of tracking your interaction if you are logged in to those websites.

Data Sharing

Should you initiate a password reset, your IP address will be encapsulated in the reset email.

Data Retention

Comments and their metadata are retained indefinitely, facilitating the recognition and automatic approval of any subsequent comments without them entering a moderation queue.

For those registering on our site, we also store the personal information they offer in their user profile. Users can anytime view, edit, or delete their personal information (username changes are not feasible). Website administrators can also view and edit that information.

Your Data Rights

Should you have an account or have left comments on our site, you can request an exported file of the personal data we hold about you, including any data you’ve provided to us. Furthermore, you can ask for the erasure of any personal data we hold about you. This does not cover data we are mandated to keep for administrative, legal, or security reasons.

Data Transmission

Visitor comments may be scrutinized using an automated spam detection service.
