Privacy Policy

At DIY Cosmetica, accessible from https://www.diycosmetica.com/, one of our main priorities is the privacy of our visitors. This Privacy Policy document contains types of information that is collected and recorded by DIY Cosmetica and how we use it.

If you have additional questions or require more information about our Privacy Policy, do not hesitate to contact us.

This Privacy Policy applies only to our online activities and is valid for visitors to our website with regards to the information that they shared and/or collect to DIY Cosmetica. This policy is not applicable to any information collected offline or via channels other than this website.

Log Files

DIY Cosmetica follows a standard procedure of using log files. These files log visitors when they visit websites. All hosting companies do this and a part of hosting services’ analytics. The information collected by log files include internet protocol (IP) addresses, browser type, Internet Service Provider (ISP), date and time stamp, referring/exit pages, and possibly the number of clicks. These are not linked to any information that is personally identifiable. The purpose of the information is for analyzing trends, administering the site, tracking users’ movement on the website, and gathering demographic information.

Cookies and tracking technologies

DIY Cosmetica uses cookies and similar technologies for three purposes:

1. Essential / functional cookies — sign-in sessions, saved recipes, forum participation, paid-recipe entitlements. These are required for the site to work and cannot be disabled.

2. Analytics cookies — we use Google Analytics 4 (G-QBNQ80TZQF) and Microsoft Clarity (wnrvj6hy35) to understand how readers use the site (which recipes are popular, which pages load slowly, where people drop off). This data is aggregated and not used to identify you personally.

3. Advertising cookies — we display ads via Google AdSense (ca-pub-6043961736091377). AdSense and its third-party ad partners use cookies to measure ad performance and, with your consent, personalize the ads you see.

If you visit DIY Cosmetica from the European Union, United Kingdom, Switzerland, or another EEA country, a consent banner appears the first time you arrive. You can:

  • Consent to all cookies — analytics + ads work normally, ads are personalized
  • Manage choices — pick individual categories
  • Reject non-essential cookies — only essential cookies are set; analytics and ad cookies are blocked; you’ll see non-personalized ads only

You can change your choice anytime by clicking the “Privacy choices” link at the bottom of any page, or by clearing your browser cookies for diycosmetica.com.

The consent banner is provided by Google’s Funding Choices CMP, certified under the IAB Transparency & Consent Framework (TCF v2.2).

Visitors outside the EU/UK/EEA

If you visit from the US, Canada, or other regions outside the regulated zones above, cookies are set by default. You can still opt out via your browser settings (most browsers offer a “Do Not Track” preference and a way to block third-party cookies). You can also opt out of AdSense personalization at google.com/settings/ads.

Third-party ad partners

AdSense and Google’s partner ad networks use cookies, JavaScript, and web beacons in the ads served on DIY Cosmetica. They receive your IP address automatically when ads load. These technologies measure ad effectiveness and (with consent in regulated regions) personalize ads.

DIY Cosmetica has no access to or control over the specific cookies used by third-party advertisers. Their practices are governed by their own privacy policies, including:

Disabling cookies in your browser

You can disable cookies entirely through your browser settings. Doing so will prevent sign-in, saving recipes, and posting in the forum, but you can still read all public content. Detailed instructions for each browser are on the browser’s own help pages.
