Home So Cool (“we,” “us,” “our”) operates the website homesocool.com (the “Site”). This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect information when you visit our Site.

By using the Site, you agree to the collection and use of information in accordance with this policy.

1. Information We Collect

Automatically Collected Information

When you visit our Site, our web server automatically collects:

  • Your IP address
  • Browser type and version
  • Pages you visit and time spent on each page
  • Referring website (if you arrived via a link from another site)
  • Device type and operating system

This information is collected via server logs and cookies (see below). We use it to understand how visitors use our Site, identify technical issues, and improve our content.

Information You Provide

If you contact us via email (hello@homesocool.com), we collect the information you choose to include in your message—typically your name, email address, and the content of your inquiry. We use this information solely to respond to your question or request.

We do not collect payment information, account credentials, or personal identifiers beyond what’s listed above. We do not require registration or login to read our content.

2. Cookies and Tracking

Our Cookies

We use cookies to remember your preferences (such as whether you’ve dismissed a notice) and to analyze Site traffic via Google Analytics.

Third-Party Cookies

We participate in the Amazon Associates Program. When you click an Amazon product link on our Site, Amazon may set cookies to track your activity and attribute any purchase to our affiliate account. We do not control Amazon’s cookies. For details, see Amazon’s Privacy Notice.

You can disable cookies in your browser settings. Note that disabling cookies may affect your experience on our Site and prevent us from remembering your preferences.

3. How We Use Your Information

We use collected information to:

  • Deliver and improve our Site content
  • Respond to inquiries sent via email

  • Comply with legal obligations

We do not sell, rent, or share your personal information with third parties for marketing purposes.

4. Third-Party Services

Amazon Associates

We participate in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program. When you click a product link and make a purchase on Amazon, Amazon collects your purchase and browsing data according to their own privacy policy. We receive only aggregate commission reports—we do not see your personal purchase details.

Google Analytics

We use Google Analytics to understand how visitors interact with our Site. Google Analytics collects information such as page views, session duration, and referral sources. Google may use this data in accordance with their Privacy Policy. You can opt out of Google Analytics by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.

5. Data Security

We take reasonable precautions to protect the information we collect. Our Site uses HTTPS encryption to secure data transmitted between your browser and our server. However, no method of transmission over the Internet is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
