Effective Date: September 26, 2026
Welcome to ColorCove (“we,” “our,” or “us”), accessible at https://colorcove.org. We are deeply committed to respecting and protecting the privacy of all visitors, with particular diligence given to children and families who enjoy our creative coloring resources. This Privacy Policy outlines how we collect, use, and safeguard information when you visit our website.
1. Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA Compliance)
ColorCove is designed for families, educators, and children of all ages. In strict accordance with the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA):
- We do not knowingly collect, request, or store Personal Identifiable Information (PII) from children under the age of 13.
- No user registration, account creation, or email submission is ever required to view, print, download, or color pages on ColorCove.
- Our interactive digital tools (including the Online Coloring Studio and Favorite lists) operate entirely client-side using your browser’s local storage (
localStorage). No drawings, color states, or user selections are transmitted to or stored on our servers. - If a parent or legal guardian believes that a child under 13 has inadvertently provided personal information to us (for example, through our contact form), please contact us immediately at [email protected], and we will promptly delete that information from our records.
2. Information We Collect Automatically
Like most standard websites, when you browse ColorCove, certain non-identifying technical data is automatically logged to ensure security, monitor server health, and optimize loading performance:
- Log Data: Internet Protocol (IP) address (anonymized), browser type and version, device hardware specifications, operating system, referring/exit URLs, date/time stamps, and clicked pages.
- Cloudflare Edge Caching & Security: We utilize Cloudflare CDN services to protect the site against cyber threats (such as DDoS attacks) and deliver images with low latency. Cloudflare may process basic server request logs for security and performance optimization.
3. Web Analytics (Google Analytics 4)
We use Google Analytics 4 (GA4) to understand how visitors navigate our site, identify popular coloring themes, and evaluate print and download functionality. GA4 uses first-party cookies to collect aggregated, anonymous behavioral data (such as page views, session duration, and print button clicks). IP masking and anonymization are enabled by default. This data is used solely to enhance website usability. You can opt out of Google Analytics tracking at any time by installing the official Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.
4. Mediavine Programmatic Advertising Disclosure
ColorCove partners with Mediavine, Inc. to manage third-party interest-based advertising appearing on the website. Mediavine may use first and third-party cookies to serve personalized and contextual advertisements when you visit our website:
- Mediavine and its advertising partners may collect non-sensitive personal data such as your IP address, browser type, device identifiers, and browsing history to deliver relevant advertising tailored to your interests.
- To learn more about how Mediavine collects and processes data, please review the Mediavine Privacy Policy.
- Managing Your Ad Choices: You can opt out of interest-based advertising from participating companies through the Network Advertising Initiative (NAI), the Digital Advertising Alliance (DAA), or the European Interactive Digital Advertising Alliance (EDAA).
