A short, plain policy.

Watch Cozy is a small site. It does not sell personal information. It does not have an account system. You can use the playlists without telling us who you are.

If you join Thursday picks

The newsletter form asks for an email address. If Resend is configured, that address is added to a Resend segment so we can send the weekly note. We also keep the address in our own database when one is connected, so we can count signups. We reject test and throwaway addresses. You can ask us to delete yours from the contact page.

What we count

We count page paths ourselves, and we count clicks on the buttons that leave for a streaming service or for Can It Transcode. A search is the service and mood you pick on the home page. We do not attach those counts to your name. The browser remembers, in session storage, that it already sent a page view so we do not count every scroll.

Ads

Ad slots stay empty unless an AdSense client id is configured. If ads are turned on, Google may set cookies and use the data described in Google's privacy policy. The ads.txt file is generated from that same configuration.

Affiliate links

Some "watch" and "free trial" buttons pass through /go so we can see which ones get used, then continue to the service. Prime Video's default link includes the Amazon Associates tag canitranscode-20. If you buy something after that, Amazon may pay a commission. The movie advice does not change because of it.

Contact notes

If you write to us, we store your name, email, and message so we can reply. If email sending is configured, a copy is delivered through Resend.
