4.1 Personal Data and IP Address Handling
Cuckology.com collects minimal personal data to prioritize your privacy. When you submit a comment, you may optionally provide an email address, name, and website URL, stored via the WordPress cookies listed above for 347 days to save your preferences for future comments. We have disabled the storage of IP addresses for comments, meaning no IP addresses are collected or stored in our comment database.
Third-party services, such as Cloudflare (for security and performance) and our hosting provider, may process IP addresses to deliver and protect our website. These services do not store IP addresses in connection with comments and typically anonymize or delete data after a short period (e.g., 7–30 days, depending on the provider). Data may be processed in regions like the United States under frameworks like the EU-US Data Privacy Framework. For details, see Cloudflare’s Privacy Policy and WordPress Privacy Policy.
You can request access to or deletion of your comment data (email, name, URL) by contacting us at nebula@cuckology.com or cuckology@duck.com. We will respond within 30 days or as required by law.
4.2 Third-Party Services and Cookies
We use Fluent SMTP connected with Brevo.com (formerly Sendinblue) to manage email communications. If you provide your email address in comments or forms to receive emails from us, Brevo may use cookies or tracking pixels to monitor email delivery, open rates, and clicks. These are used strictly for email-related purposes and do not track your browsing activity on Cuckology.com.
- These cookies or pixels are used strictly for email-related purposes and do not track your browsing activity on Cuckology.com.
- If you provide your email address in blog comments or other forms to receive emails from us, your data will be processed by Brevo.com for these purposes.

4.3 Cloudflare Cookies
Cuckology.com uses Cloudflare, a content delivery network and security service, to protect and optimize website performance. Cloudflare may set cookies for security and performance purposes, such as detecting malicious activity and improving site loading times.

4.4 Embed Privacy Consent Mechanism
Cuckology.com uses the Embed Privacy plugin to protect your privacy when viewing embedded content from third-party platforms such as Twitter, TikTok, YouTube, and others.
By default, these external embeds are blocked from loading automatically, which means that no cookies or tracking scripts from these platforms are set on your device unless you explicitly allow them.
When you choose to view an embedded content by clicking the consent button, the embed is loaded, and the respective third-party platform may set cookies or use tracking technologies according to their own privacy policies.
This approach ensures that no third-party cookies or trackers are activated without your consent, giving you full control over what external content you allow.
For more details about how these third-party platforms handle your data, please review their individual privacy policies.

We use Umami Analytics to measure website performance without storing any personal data or using cookies.
- No cookies or tracking identifiers
