Cookie Policy

Effective Date: August 18, 2025

At NutryHappy.com (the "Blog"), operated by Shai Amar ("we," "us," or "our"), we use cookies and similar technologies to enhance your experience on our website hosted on Ghost.org. This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are, how we use them, and your choices regarding their use. It complements our Privacy Policy and complies with Israel's Protection of Privacy Law, 5741-1981 (as amended, including Amendment 13) ("PPL") and applicable U.S. laws, including the California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018 (as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act of 2020) ("CCPA/CPRA").

By continuing to use our Blog, you acknowledge this Cookie Policy. If you do not agree, please adjust your preferences or refrain from using the Blog.

1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files placed on your device (e.g., computer, smartphone) when you visit a website. They store information to improve functionality, user experience, or analytics. Similar technologies, like pixels or local storage, serve comparable purposes. Under the PPL, cookies collecting personal data (e.g., IP addresses) require transparency and, for non-essential cookies, consent. Under CCPA/CPRA, you have rights to know about and opt out of certain data uses.

2. Types of Cookies We Use

Our Blog uses cookies to ensure functionality and, if applicable, to analyze usage. Below are the categories of cookies we may use:

  • Essential Cookies
    Purpose: Necessary for the Blog to function, such as maintaining user sessions or enabling core features (e.g., commenting, subscriptions).
    Examples: Session cookies for logins or navigation.
    Consent: Not required under PPL or CCPA, as they are strictly necessary, but we disclose them for transparency.
    Details: These are set by Ghost.org's platform and do not track personal data beyond what's needed for operation.

  • Analytics Cookies (if applicable)
    Purpose: Help us understand how visitors interact with the Blog (e.g., pages viewed, time spent) to improve content and performance.
    Examples: Google Analytics cookies (_ga, _gid) to track anonymized usage data.
    Consent: Requires opt-in consent under PPL recommendations for non-essential cookies and transparency under CCPA.
    Details: We anonymize IP addresses where possible to minimize personal data collection. Data is aggregated for insights.

  • Third-Party Cookies (if applicable)
    Purpose: Set by embedded content, such as YouTube videos, social media widgets (e.g., Twitter), or other integrations.
    Examples: YouTube cookies for video playback preferences.
    Consent: Requires opt-in consent under PPL and opt-out options under CCPA (if data is "sold" or "shared," which we do not do).
    Details: These cookies are controlled by third parties; see their privacy policies for more information.

Note: By default, Ghost.org does not set non-essential cookies. If we add analytics or embeds, we list specific cookies in this Policy or our cookie consent banner.

3. How We Use Cookies

We use cookies to:

  • Operate the Blog: Enable essential features like navigation, commenting, or subscriptions.
  • Analyze Performance: Measure traffic and usage patterns (anonymized where possible) to improve content.
  • Enhance Experience: Support embedded content (e.g., videos) if used.

We do not use cookies for targeted advertising or cross-context behavioral advertising unless explicitly stated. Under CCPA/CPRA, we do not "sell" or "share" personal information collected via cookies for such purposes.

You can manage cookies through:

  • Cookie Consent Banner: If we use non-essential cookies (e.g., for analytics), a banner appears on your first visit, allowing you to accept or reject them. You can revisit preferences via the banner link or browser settings.
  • Browser Settings: Most browsers allow you to block or delete cookies. Visit your browser’s help section (e.g., Chrome, Firefox) for instructions. Note: Blocking essential cookies may affect Blog functionality.
  • Opt-Out for Analytics: If we use Google Analytics, you can opt out via browser add-ons (e.g., Google Analytics Opt-Out Browser Add-On).
  • CCPA Opt-Out: We do not sell/share data, but if this changes, a “Do Not Sell/Share My Personal Information” link will be added per CCPA requirements.

Under PPL, you may withdraw consent for non-essential cookies at any time by updating preferences in the cookie banner or contacting us. Withdrawal does not affect prior lawful processing.

5. Data Retention and Security

Cookies are stored for the minimum duration needed:

  • Essential Cookies: Typically expire when you close your browser (session cookies).
  • Analytics Cookies: May last up to 2 years (e.g., Google Analytics default settings).
  • Third-Party Cookies: Vary by provider (e.g., YouTube cookies may persist longer).

We implement security measures (e.g., HTTPS, access controls) to protect cookie data. In case of a breach, we notify you and authorities (e.g., PPA within 72 hours under PPL) as required.

6. Your Rights

Under PPL, you have rights to access, rectify, delete, or object to personal data collected via cookies. Contact us at nutryhappy1@gmail.com. We respond within 30-45 days.

Under CCPA/CPRA (for California residents):

  • Know/Access: Request details on cookies and data collected.
  • Deletion: Request deletion of non-essential cookie data.
  • Opt-Out: Opt out of data sales/sharing (not applicable currently).
  • Non-Discrimination: We won’t discriminate for exercising rights.

Other U.S. state residents (e.g., Virginia, Colorado) have similar rights where applicable.

Embedded content (e.g., videos, social media) may set cookies controlled by third parties. We are not responsible for their practices. Review their policies (e.g., Google’s Privacy Policy for YouTube).

We may update this Policy to reflect changes in our practices or laws. Updates will be posted here with a revised effective date. We will notify you via email or Blog notice for material changes.
