This Privacy Policy explains how Tiny Space Style ("we," "us," or "our") collects, uses, and protects your information when you visit https://tinyspacestyle.com.

This site uses cookies — small text files stored on your device. We use:

- Essential cookies: Required for the site to function (security, cookie consent preferences)

- Analytics cookies: Google Analytics, to understand site traffic

- Functional cookies: To remember your preferences

You can manage cookie preferences through the consent message shown to visitors in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, and Switzerland, or through your browser settings. Disabling certain cookies may affect how the site works and may limit you to non-personalized ads.

5. Advertising (Google AdSense)

This site uses Google AdSense to display ads. Google and its partners use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this site or other websites. You can opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google's Ads Settings: https://adssettings.google.com.

Visitors in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, and Switzerland are shown a consent message before any personalized ads are served and can choose whether to allow personalized advertising through that message.

6. Affiliate Links

This site participates in affiliate marketing programs, including the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program. As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases.

When you click an affiliate link, the retailer may set a cookie in your browser to record that the visit came from this site. That cookie allows any purchase you make to be attributed to Tiny Space Style. It does not identify you to me. I receive only aggregate reports showing clicks, orders and commission, with no personal information about who bought what.

Amazon's own privacy notice governs what Amazon collects once you leave this site.

You can block or delete these cookies in your browser settings at any time. Doing so does not change anything you see or pay on this site.

Affiliate links are disclosed at the top of every article that contains them, in accordance with FTC guidelines.

7. Comments

If you leave a comment, we collect your name, email address, and the content of your comment. Your email is not displayed publicly. Comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service (Akismet).

8. Embedded Content

Articles on this site may include embedded content from other websites (such as YouTube videos or Pinterest pins). Embedded content behaves as if you visited those websites directly and may collect data about you.

9. Third-Party Links

Our site contains links to external websites. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of those sites and encourage you to review their privacy policies.
