Privacy Policy
Last updated: July 16, 2026
Ink Your Nail ("we", "us", or "our") operates inkyournail.com (the "Site"), a nail art inspiration and design blog. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect when you visit the Site, how we use it, how third parties such as Google AdSense collect and use data through cookies, and what choices you have. By using the Site, you agree to the collection and use of information in accordance with this policy.
1. Information We Collect
We collect limited information automatically when you visit the Site, and information you provide voluntarily.
- Device and browser information: browser type and version, operating system, device type, and screen resolution.
- IP address: used for security, fraud prevention, and approximate geographic location (country/region level).
- Usage data: pages visited, time spent on pages, referring URLs, and links clicked, typically collected through cookies and similar technologies.
- Cookie data: small text files stored on your device by our Site and by third-party services we use, described in detail below.
- Information you provide: if you use our contact form, we collect your name, email address, and the content of your message so we can respond to you.
2. Google AdSense and Advertising Cookies
This Site displays advertisements served by Google AdSense and other third-party advertising vendors. In connection with serving these ads, Google and its partners use cookies to serve ads based on a user's prior visits to this website and other websites on the internet.
Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to our visitors based on their visit to this Site and/or other sites. This means that the ads you see may be personalized based on your browsing history and interests.
You may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings. Alternatively, you can opt out of a third-party vendor's use of cookies for personalized advertising by visiting www.aboutads.info. Other third-party ad networks or vendors that may serve ads on this Site are subject to their own privacy policies, which we encourage you to review on their respective websites.
3. Google Analytics
We may use Google Analytics or similar analytics services to understand how visitors interact with the Site — which pages are popular, how long visitors stay, and how they arrived at the Site. Google Analytics uses cookies to collect this information anonymously and reports website trends without identifying individual visitors. You can prevent Google Analytics from using your data by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.
4. YouTube Embeds
Some posts on this Site may include embedded YouTube videos for tutorials or nail art inspiration. When you play an embedded video, YouTube (owned by Google) may set cookies on your device and collect data about your viewing activity, even if you do not have a YouTube account. This data collection is governed by Google's own privacy policy, available at policies.google.com/privacy.
5. Third-Party Cookies
In addition to Google AdSense and Analytics, other third-party vendors or ad networks may place cookies on your device through their ad-serving activity on this Site. We do not control these third-party cookies directly; each vendor's use of cookies is subject to their own privacy and cookie policies. For a full breakdown of cookie categories used on this Site, see our EU Cookie Policy and USA Cookie Policy.
6. How to Manage or Disable Cookies
When you first visit the Site, a cookie consent banner allows you to Accept all cookies or Manage Preferences to control analytics and advertising cookies individually. Necessary cookies cannot be disabled because the Site requires them for basic functionality.
You can also manage or delete cookies at any time directly through your browser settings. Most browsers let you block cookies entirely, delete existing cookies, or receive a warning before a cookie is stored. Please note that disabling cookies may affect the functionality of some parts of the Site.
7. Data Retention
We retain automatically collected data such as analytics and log data only for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes described in this policy, typically no longer than 26 months. Contact form submissions are retained only as long as needed to respond to and resolve your inquiry.
8. Your Rights
Depending on where you live, you may have rights under laws such as the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) or the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA/CPRA), including the right to access, correct, or delete your personal information, and the right to opt out of the sale or sharing of your personal information for advertising purposes. See our EU Cookie Policy and USA Cookie Policy for region-specific rights and how to exercise them.
9. Children's Privacy
This Site is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us so we can remove it.
10. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or for legal, operational, or regulatory reasons. The "Last updated" date at the top of this page indicates when this policy was last revised. We encourage you to review this page periodically.
