Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g. videos, images, articles, etc.). Embedded content from other websites behaves in the exact same way as if the visitor has visited the other website.
These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with that embedded content, including tracing your interaction with the embedded content if you have an account and are logged in to that website.
Analytics
We collect and store information that is generated automatically as you navigate online through the site. For example, we may collect information about your computer’s connection to the Internet, which allows us, among other things, to improve the delivery of web pages to you and to measure traffic on the site.
Affiliate Links
This site also includes links to websites we recommend or work with on a collaborative basis, and provides access to products and services offered by third parties, whose privacy policies we do not control. Some of the links we provide are “affiliate links.” This means if you click on the link and purchase the item connected to that link, we will receive a small affiliate commission at no cost to you. When you access another website or purchase third-party products or services through this site, use of any information you provide is governed by the privacy policy of the operator of the site you are visiting, or the provider of such products or services.

Amazon Affiliate Links
This website uses Amazon Affiliate links. As an Amazon Associate we earn percentage from qualifying purchases.
Competitions
This site may run regular competitions and giveaways. In order to facilitate these, competition entrants will be required to supply certain information. This includes but is not limited to; full name, email address, and full postal address.
Full postal addresses of winners will be shared with brands where necessary to ensure delivery of your prize. As such, supplying a full postal address is necessary to enter any competitions on this site. Your details will never be shared with anyone other than the brand supplying the prize for the giveaway or competition which you enter. We take steps to ensure that prize suppliers are GDPR compliant and do not use your details for any other reason than to provide your prize, but we cannot be held responsible for any misuse of data by any third party.
Email addresses supplied during the entering of competitions and giveaways are used solely for the purposes of contacting winners. Your details are never added to mailing lists or shared with any third parties unless necessary.
The sharing of full name, email address, and full postal address is required in order to facilitate competitions and giveaways, and therefore the collection of this information is granted legally under the GDPR base of ‘contract’ as such, if you are not happy to share your full name, email address, and full postal address we will be unable to continue with your competition or giveaway entrance.
In the event that the online software we use to facilitate competitions and giveaways (for example https://www.Rafflecopter.com) incurs a security breach, we will notify the ICO within 72 hours of being aware of the breach. We will endeavour to notify all competition entrants for whom we have details as soon as is reasonably and safely practicable.
You may request to have your details removed from our database and competition software any time after the competition or giveaway has ended by contacting us at raimonda@cosmomum.co.uk
