This Privacy Policy describes how CozyLaneHome.org collects, uses, and handles information when you visit this website. CozyLaneHome is a static informational website published for the purpose of sharing seasonal DIY home decor and upcycling guides for Canadian homes.
Information this site does not collect
CozyLaneHome does not operate a user account system, subscription list, or database of personal information. The site does not use third-party advertising networks, tracking pixels, or social media integration scripts that collect visitor data.
Contact form submissions
The contact form on the About page collects a name, email address, optional phone number, and a message. This form operates as a client-side simulation — form submissions are not transmitted to any server, stored in any database, or forwarded to any external service. The form is present for illustrative purposes on a static site. No personal data entered into the form is retained or processed.
Cookies and local storage
CozyLaneHome uses browser localStorage to store your response to the cookie consent banner shown on the homepage. This stores a single key (clh_cookie_consent) with a value of either "accepted" or "rejected". This data remains in your browser's local storage and is not transmitted to any server. It is used only to prevent the consent banner from appearing on subsequent visits.
No session cookies, tracking cookies, or cookies from third-party services are set by this site.
Analytics
This site does not currently use web analytics software. No data about page views, geographic location, device type, or browsing behaviour is collected or transmitted to any analytics provider.
Embedded content
Images on this site are loaded directly from Wikimedia Commons (upload.wikimedia.org) via standard HTML image tags. When your browser loads these images, it makes a direct request to Wikimedia's servers. Wikimedia's own privacy policy governs any data Wikimedia may collect from that request. CozyLaneHome does not control Wikimedia's data practices.
External links
This site links to external websites including Government of Canada resources, Canadian hardware retailers, and environmental organisations. Following these links takes you to sites governed by their own privacy policies. CozyLaneHome does not control or monitor the data practices of external sites.
Children's privacy
This site does not knowingly collect information from children under 13. The content is informational and intended for adult readers. If you believe a child has submitted personal information through the contact form, note that no such data is retained or processed by this site.
