Privacy policy

Effective September 30, 2026. This version replaces the draft published when the site launched on September 20, 2026.

The short version

We have no accounts, no forms that store data, no newsletter and no ads. We use Google Analytics to count visits and see which pages help; in the European Economic Area, the UK and Switzerland it runs only if you allow it. Our host, Cloudflare, processes the technical data every website needs to deliver pages and stay secure. If you email us, we use your message to reply. We do not sell personal information or use it for targeted advertising.

Who is responsible

CozyKilowatt is published by Steliano Impex SRL, Romania, the data controller for the processing described here. Contact: hello@cozykilowatt.com.

What we collect and why

Cookies and storage

Google Analytics sets cookies named _ga and _ga_*, which Google sets to expire after up to two years. They are set only after you allow analytics (Europe) or, elsewhere, unless you opt out below. We also store one small item in your browser, ckConsent, to remember your choice; it is not a cookie, is never sent to us, and disappears when you clear your browser data. The site works fully with cookies blocked.

How long we keep data

Google Analytics keeps event-level data for 2 months and user-level data for 14 months after your last visit (a new visit restarts that period), as set in our account; after that, only aggregated reports remain. Emails are deleted when the conversation is finished and nothing requires keeping them. Cloudflare keeps its own technical logs under its privacy policy.

Where data is processed

Google and Cloudflare may process data in the United States. Both are certified under the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework, including the UK Extension and the Swiss-U.S. framework, which the European Commission recognizes as providing adequate protection. See Google’s data transfer frameworks and Cloudflare’s privacy policy.

Your analytics choice

You can change your choice here at any time, whether or not you saw the notice. Turning analytics off also deletes the Google Analytics cookies from this browser. If your browser sends a Global Privacy Control signal, we treat it as an opt-out and never start analytics.

Advertising

There are no ads on this site today. Before the first ad is shown, this policy will name the advertising partner, link to its privacy policy and describe the consent tool it uses, and the effective date above will change.

Affiliate links

This site carries no affiliate links today (see the affiliate disclosure). If we ever add any, they will be plain links only: no tracking pixel and no third-party script loads on our pages before you click. After a click, the merchant or network may set its own cookie on its own site so it knows the visit came from us; we would name that network here, link to its privacy notice and update the effective date before the first such link appears. We would receive only aggregate reports, never personal information about you.

Your rights

If you are in the EEA, the UK or Switzerland, you can ask us for access to, correction or deletion of your personal data, restrict or object to its use, receive it in a portable form, and withdraw consent at any time without affecting earlier processing. Write to hello@cozykilowatt.com; we answer within one month. You can also complain to a data protection authority — in Romania, the National Supervisory Authority for Personal Data Processing (ANSPDCP), or the authority where you live. U.S. residents: we do not sell or share personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising.

Children

This site is written for adults making decisions about their homes. It is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them.
