Your privacy matters to us, and we want you to feel completely comfortable while browsing Haven or Cozy Decor (havenoracozydecor.com). This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and the choices you have. We’ve tried to write it in plain, human language rather than dense legal jargon — because we believe you deserve to actually understand it.
By using our website, you agree to the terms of this Privacy Policy.
Who We Are
Haven or Cozy Decor is a home decor and lifestyle blog. If you ever have questions about this policy or how your information is handled, you can reach us at:
📧 havenoracozydecor@gmail.com
Information We Collect
Information You Give Us Directly
If you contact us by email, leave a comment, or reach out through any contact form we may add in the future, we’ll receive whatever information you choose to share — such as your name, email address, and the content of your message. We only use this to respond to you and improve our website.
Information Collected Automatically
Like most websites, our site may automatically collect certain technical information when you visit, such as:
- Your IP address (in general, anonymized form)
- Browser type and device information
- Pages visited and time spent on the site
- Referring website or search terms that led you here
This information is typically collected through analytics tools (such as Google Analytics) and helps us understand how people use our site so we can make it better.
Cookies
Cookies are small text files stored on your device that help websites function and improve your browsing experience. We may use cookies for purposes such as:
- Remembering your preferences
- Understanding site traffic and usage patterns
- Enabling future advertising features (see below)
You can control or disable cookies through your browser settings at any time. Please note that disabling cookies may affect certain features of the site.
Advertising
Haven or Cozy Decor does not currently display third-party advertisements. As our website grows, we plan to monetize through advertising partners such as Google AdSense and/or Mediavine. Once ads are introduced, this section will be updated with full details, but in general, you should know:
- Third-party advertising companies, including Google and its partners, may use cookies and similar technologies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this site or other websites.
- Google’s use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads based on your visit to our site and/or other sites on the internet. You can opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings (adssettings.google.com).
- If we partner with Mediavine, their ad partners may also use cookies and similar tracking technologies as outlined in the Mediavine Privacy Policy (mediavine.com/privacy-policy).
- You can generally opt out of interest-based advertising through the Digital Advertising Alliance (optout.aboutads.info) or the Network Advertising Initiative (optout.networkadvertising.org).
We will always aim to be transparent with you the moment advertising is added to this site, and we will update this Privacy Policy accordingly at that time.
No Affiliate Marketing
We want to be completely clear: this website does not use affiliate marketing links. We do not earn commissions from any products, tools, or services mentioned in our content. Anything we recommend is shared because we genuinely like it — nothing more.
How We Use Your Information
Generally, any information we collect is used to:
- Respond to your questions, comments, or inquiries
- Understand how visitors use our website so we can improve it
- Maintain the security and proper functioning of our site
- In the future, deliver relevant advertising through our ad partners (once monetization begins)
We do not sell your personal information, and we never will.
Third-Party Links
Our site may occasionally link to other websites for reference or inspiration. We are not responsible for the privacy practices or content of these external sites, and we encourage you to review their privacy policies separately.
Children’s Privacy
Haven or Cozy Decor is not directed at children under the age of 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us so we can promptly remove it.
Your Rights
Depending on where you live, you may have rights regarding your personal data, including the right to access, correct, or delete information we hold about you, and the right to opt out of certain data processing activities. For more detail on regional rights (including GDPR for EU/UK visitors), please see our GDPR Compliance page.
Data Security
We take reasonable steps to protect any information shared with us, but please understand that no method of transmission over the internet is ever 100% secure. We do our best to safeguard your information but cannot guarantee absolute security.
Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy periodically — especially as our website grows, as we introduce advertising, or as privacy laws evolve. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated “Last Updated” date, so please check back from time to time.

If you have any questions, concerns, or requests related to this Privacy Policy, please reach out anytime.
