Your privacy matters to us. This Privacy Policy explains what information The Snug Living (thesnugliving.com) collects, how we use it, and the choices you have. If you have any questions, please contact us at hello@thesnugliving.com.

What data we collect

Comments

When visitors leave comments on the site, we collect the data shown in the comments form, along with the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help with spam detection.

An anonymized string created from your email address (also called a hash) may be provided to the Gravatar service to see if you are using it. The Gravatar service privacy policy is available here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. After approval of your comment, your profile picture is visible to the public in the context of your comment.

Contact form

If you contact us through our contact form, we collect your name, email address, and the contents of your message so that we can respond to your enquiry. We use this information only to reply to you and do not add you to any marketing list unless you explicitly ask us to.

Analytics

We use analytics tools to understand how visitors use our site — for example, which pages are most popular. Analytics data is aggregated and does not identify you personally. It helps us improve our content and prepare for future advertising partnerships (such as Mediavine or Google AdSense).

Cookies and consent

We use cookies to enhance your browsing experience, remember your preferences, serve personalized content, and analyze our traffic. We manage cookie consent with CookieYes: when you first visit the site, you can accept all cookies, reject non-essential cookies, or customize your preferences — and you can change your consent at any time.

  • If you leave a comment on our site, you may opt in to saving your name, email address, and website in cookies. These are for your convenience so you do not have to fill in your details again when you leave another comment. These cookies last for one year.
  • If you visit our login page, we set a temporary cookie to determine if your browser accepts cookies. This cookie contains no personal data and is discarded when you close your browser.
  • When you log in, we set cookies to save your login information and screen display choices. Login cookies last for two days, and screen options cookies last for a year. If you select “Remember Me”, your login persists for two weeks.

Affiliate links

Some links on this site are affiliate links. If you click an affiliate link and make a purchase, we may earn a commission at no extra cost to you. Affiliate partners may use cookies to track referrals from our site. Please see our Affiliate Disclosure for full details.

Embedded content from other websites

Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g. videos, images, articles, etc.). Embedded content from other websites behaves in the exact same way as if you had visited the other website. These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with that embedded content, including tracking your interaction if you have an account and are logged in to that website.

Who we share your data with

We do not sell your personal data. We may share data with:

  • Service providers that help us operate the site, such as our hosting provider, analytics services, spam detection, and our cookie consent tool (CookieYes).
  • Advertising partners (such as Mediavine or Google AdSense) if we join an ad network in the future — they may use cookies to serve personalized ads.
  • Authorities, where required by law.

If you request a password reset, your IP address will be included in the reset email.

How long we retain your data

If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely so we can recognize and approve any follow-up comments automatically. Contact form messages are kept for as long as needed to handle your enquiry. Analytics data is retained in aggregated form.

What rights you have over your data

If you have left comments on this site, you can request to receive an exported file of the personal data we hold about you, including any data you have provided to us. You can also request that we erase any personal data we hold about you. This does not include any data we are obliged to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes. You may also withdraw cookie consent at any time via the cookie settings on this site.
