Privacy policy

Template only: please review this policy (and update it whenever you add new tools such as analytics or an email provider) before launch. It is not legal advice.

Who we are

Cosyforless ("we", "us") runs the website https://www.cosyforless.co.uk. We are the data controller for personal data collected through this site under the UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018. Contact: hello@cosyforless.co.uk.

What we collect

• Newsletter: your email address, if you subscribe.
• Contact form: your name, email address and message.
• Anonymous usage statistics: pages visited, links clicked, referring website, and general device and country information. We use Umami, a privacy-friendly analytics tool that does not use cookies, does not collect personal data and does not track you across other websites.

Why we use it (lawful basis)

• Newsletter emails: your consent. You can unsubscribe at any time.
• Replying to your messages: our legitimate interests.
• Anonymous statistics: our legitimate interests in understanding which content is useful.

Cookies

We don't use advertising or tracking cookies. Your browser's local storage is used only to remember your own preferences on this device, such as dark mode. If we ever add tools that use non-essential cookies, we will ask for your consent first.

Affiliate links

When you click an affiliate link (for example to Amazon.co.uk), you leave our site, and the retailer may set its own cookies to track the referral. Their privacy policy applies to that data.

Who we share data with

We only share data with service providers that help us run the site (for example our website host and email newsletter provider). We never sell your data.

How long we keep it

We keep newsletter data until you unsubscribe, and contact messages for up to 12 months.

Your rights

You have the right to access, correct, delete or restrict the use of your personal data, to object to its use, and to withdraw consent at any time. To make a request, email us. If you're unhappy with how we handle your data, you can complain to the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) at ico.org.uk.
