Privacy Policy
Last updated: June 2026
This policy explains what information coolcostumeideas.com ("we", "us") collects when you use the site, and how it's used.
Information we collect
- Quiz answers. The age group, budget, character type, and vibe you select in the costume quiz, used only to generate your recommendations for that session.
- Usage data. Standard web server logs and analytics (pages visited, browser, rough location from IP) used to understand traffic and improve the site.
- Cookies. We use cookies to remember your active season/theme preference and, when you click an affiliate link, to attribute that click to us with the retailer.
We don't require an account to use the quiz or browse costumes, and we don't collect names, addresses, or payment information - those are handled by the retailer or supplier you ultimately purchase from.
How we use this information
To generate costume recommendations, operate and improve the site, and measure which affiliate links and products perform well.
Third-party links and affiliates
Costume listings link out to third-party retailers, some of whom pay us a commission on resulting sales (see our Terms of Service). Those retailers have their own privacy policies, and we encourage you to review them before purchasing.
Children's privacy
This site is not directed at children, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13.
Changes to this policy
We may update this policy from time to time. Changes take effect when posted on this page.
