This policy explains how CantSleep.org handles information about visitors. CantSleep.org is an independent sleep-health and sleep-aid information site. This is a starting draft, not legal advice — please have it reviewed for your jurisdiction before relying on it.
What we collect
- Server logs — each request leaves a short-lived record (IP address, requested URL, timestamp, and browser user-agent) used to keep the site running, serve content, and investigate abuse.
- Session cookies — when a site administrator signs in we
set
HttpOnlycookies that identify the authenticated session. These are strictly necessary for the admin area. - Account details — for registered admin users, the email address and a hashed (never plaintext) password.
- Messages you send us — if you contact us, we keep your message and contact details so we can reply.
Affiliate links
Some links to products we review are affiliate links — including as an Amazon Associate and other retailer/affiliate programs. If you follow one of these links and make a purchase, we may earn a commission at no extra cost to you. When you click an affiliate link you leave CantSleep.org and the destination retailer may set its own cookies and collect data under its privacy policy, which we do not control. Affiliate relationships never change our editorial ratings or opinions.
Analytics & cookies
Beyond the strictly-necessary admin session cookies described above, the site sets no advertising or cross-site tracking cookies of its own. If we add privacy-respecting analytics in future, this page will be updated to say what is collected and how to opt out.
Your rights
You can request a copy of, correction of, or deletion of any personal data we hold about you by contacting us. Depending on where you live (e.g. GDPR / UK GDPR / CCPA) you may have additional rights; we honor valid requests.
Children
CantSleep.org is intended for adults and is not directed at children. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.
