Tracking Technologies – “Cookies”
We and our third-party partners, such as advertising partners, marketing partners, and service providers, use certain technologies such as cookies to track activity on our services. As you probably know, “cookies” are small pieces of information that many websites store on your computer's hard drive when you visit them. Websites often place cookies on your browser to identify return users. These technologies are used for purposes such as analyzing trends, administering the site, tracking users' movements around the site, and gathering demographic information about our user base as a whole. We may receive reports based on the use of these technologies by these companies on an individual basis as well as aggregated.

Pixel Tags
Like many web sites, Cozy Earth may also use pixel tags, also known as beacons, spotlight tags or web bugs to improve our understanding of site traffic, visitor behavior, and response to promotional campaigns as a supplement to our server logs and other methods of traffic and response measurement. We may also implement pixel tags provided by other companies for the same purpose. You can disable pixel tags by changing your browser settings to omit images, or there are commercial software packages available that can omit pixel tags and most advertisements. This will not affect your ability to use our website.

California Privacy Rights
As mentioned above, our services are intended only for adults over the age of 18.

When making such a request the minor must state that he or she personally posted such content or information and detail where the content or information is posted. We will make reasonable good faith efforts to remove the post from prospective public view or anonymize it so the minor cannot be individually identified. This removal process cannot ensure complete or comprehensive removal. For instance, third parties may have republished the post and archived copies of it may be stored by search engines or others we do not control.
In addition, if you are a California resident as of January 1, 2020, the California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018 (the “CCPA”) provides California residents with certain rights as to personal information maintained by businesses subject to the statute. Those rights include the following:
(1) The right to request disclosure of personal information, including the categories of personal information collected, the source of the personal information, any use made of the personal information, and, if personal information was disclosed or sold to third parties, the categories of such personal information and the categories of third parties to whom such information was disclosed or sold.
(2) The right to request a copy of the specific personal information collected about the requesting individual during the 12 months before the request;
(3) The right – with certain exceptions – to have personal information deleted;
(4) The right to request that personal information not be sold to third parties; and
(5) The right not to be discriminated on the basis of having asserted privacy rights.
California residents may make a request regarding their personal information to any business subject to the CCPA twice within a twelve-month period. The responding business will need to obtain information from the requesting party so that it can verify their identity. The business must respond within forty-five (45) days of receiving a request for personal information. If you would like to exercise these rights, please contact us on our website at: https://cozyearth.com/pages/contact and click on the link identified as “Personal Information Rights of California Consumers,” and fill in the requested information .
