Privacy Policy
Last updated: 2026-11-02
The short version: Cozy Coloring is a website for children and the grown-ups who help them. We do not ask for, collect, or store personal information from children. There are no accounts, sign-ups, forms, comments, chats, uploads or public galleries. Pictures colored online stay in your own browser.
Who we are
Cozy Coloring (coloring.thothforge.com) is operated by ThothForge. Contact us about privacy at privacy@thothforge.com.
Children's privacy (COPPA)
Our site is directed to children under 13. We comply with the U.S. Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) and do not knowingly collect personal information from children. We don't ask kids for their name, email, address, phone number, photo, voice, location, or any other information that identifies them. If you believe a child has sent us personal information (for example by email), contact us and we will delete it.
What happens on your device
- Online coloring: drawings are saved only in your browser's own storage (IndexedDB) so a child can come back to a picture. They are never sent to us. You can delete them with the “Start over” button or by clearing your browser's site data.
- Downloads and printing: PDFs are downloaded directly; we don't track who prints what.
Information collected automatically
- Hosting: our site is delivered by Cloudflare, which processes technical data such as IP address and browser type to deliver pages and protect against abuse. We do not use this to identify anyone.
- Analytics: we use Cloudflare Web Analytics, which does not use cookies or track visitors across sites, to count page views in aggregate.
Advertising
Ads help keep every coloring page free. We use Google AdSense and tell Google that our site and every ad request are directed to children. For these requests Google turns off interest-based (personalized) advertising and remarketing; ads are chosen based on the page's content (contextual ads). Google may still use cookies or similar identifiers for limited purposes permitted for child-directed services, such as frequency capping, measuring ad delivery and preventing fraud. Learn more in Google's advertising policies.
We never place ads inside the online coloring tool, and we keep ads away from download and print buttons. Ads are labeled “Advertisement.”
Visitors in the EEA, UK and Switzerland are asked for consent through Google's certified consent message before any ad cookies are used, and can change their choice at any time through the privacy settings link shown with that message.
What we don't do
- No sale or sharing of personal information (as defined by the CCPA/CPRA) — we don't collect it.
- No social media buttons, embedded videos, third-party fonts or tracking pixels.
- No links from the coloring tool to other websites.
Parents' and guardians' rights
Parents and guardians can contact us at privacy@thothforge.com with any question or request, including requests to review or delete any information a child may have sent us. Residents of the EU/UK and US states with privacy laws have similar rights, which we honor for all visitors.
Emails from adults
If a parent or teacher emails us, we use the email only to reply and delete it when it's no longer needed. Please don't let children email us.
Changes
If we change this policy we'll update the date above. We will not begin collecting children's personal information without first updating this policy and obtaining verifiable parental consent as required by law.
