Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy explains how Cosmetics Batch(“we”, “us”) handles information when you use https://cosmeticsbatch.com. We built Cosmetics Batch to be private by design: batch codes are decoded directly in your browser and are never sent to or stored on our servers.

Information we collect

Batch codes & searches. The batch codes you enter are processed locally in your browser to calculate a manufacture date. We do not transmit, log or store them.

Local storage.To improve your experience we may store small items in your browser's local storage — for example your recently selected brands and your light/dark theme preference. This data stays on your device and is not sent to us.

Server logs. Like most websites, our hosting provider may automatically record standard technical information (such as IP address, browser type and pages requested) for security and reliability. These logs are not used to personally identify you.

Cookies & advertising

We use third-party advertising, including Google AdSense, to keep Cosmetics Batch free. Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this and other websites.

• Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visits to our site and/or other sites on the Internet.
• You may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings.
• You can also opt out of a third-party vendor's use of cookies for personalized advertising at aboutads.info/choices.

Where required by law (for example in the EEA, UK and Switzerland), ads are served in line with applicable consent obtained through a consent management platform.

How we use information

We use the limited information above to operate, secure and improve the website, and to display advertising. We do not sell your personal information.

Your rights

Depending on your location, you may have rights under the GDPR, UK GDPR or CCPA — including access to, correction of, or deletion of personal data, and objecting to certain processing. Because we do not maintain personal accounts or store the codes you check, most requests can be satisfied by clearing your browser storage. For advertising data, please use the opt-out links above.

Children's privacy

Cosmetics Batch is not directed to children under 13 and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them.

Third-party links

Our site may link to third-party websites. We are not responsible for the privacy practices or content of those sites.

Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Changes take effect when posted on this page, and we will update the “Last updated” date above.
