The short version

You can read, download and buy everything on Pective's Cozy Collection without an account and without being asked for anything. Signing in is optional and only exists so you can like products and leave comments.

There is no advertising network, no analytics product and nothing here that follows you around the web. What is collected is listed below in full, and none of it is sold or shared for advertising.

Two pages carry something embedded from somebody else, and both are named in full further down: the Discord server preview on the front page and the content page, which loads with the page, and the YouTube players on the content page and on product pages, which do not load until you press one.

What is never collected, for members and visitors alike: your password, your email address, your payment details, your date of birth, your address, or any profile of you across other sites. Microsoft checks your password when you sign in; this site never sees it, and never receives it.

Who is responsible for this data

Pective's Cozy Collection is the data controller for everything described on this page, and is based in the Netherlands. That means this site is run under the General Data Protection Regulation and Dutch implementing law, wherever in the world you happen to be reading it from.

Pective's Cozy Collection is run by an individual in the Netherlands rather than by a registered company, so there is no Chamber of Commerce number or business address to publish. Nothing is sold directly from this site: paid products are bought from the third-party store their button links to, and that store is the seller for the purposes of the sale. Should that change, the trading name, address and registration number appear here before anything is sold.

The way to reach a person about any of this is no public contact address is set for this site yet.

What makes each of these lawful

The law requires a stated reason for each use of personal data rather than a single blanket one, so here they are, in the same order as the sections below.

  • Click counts, and the counters that rate-limit the site rest on legitimate interests: knowing which products people actually open, and keeping the site standing up. Neither builds a profile and neither is readable back to a person.
  • Server logs rest on legitimate interests, being the ordinary record a host keeps in order to run and secure a service.
  • Your member account, your likes, saves, comments, friends and messages rest on performance of a contract. They are the service you asked for by signing in, and none of them can be delivered without storing them.
  • The session cookies rest on the same contract: they are what keeps you signed in, and there is no version of a sign-in that works without one.
  • Moderation, the comment filter and the record of a reported comment rest on legitimate interests, and on the legal obligation to act on unlawful content once it is known about.
  • Your acceptance of the terms, and the date on it, rest on legal obligation. A record that somebody agreed to something is worth nothing if it is not kept.

Where a use rests on legitimate interests you may object to it, and the objection will be answered rather than filed. Where it rests on a contract, the way to end it is to delete the account, which erases everything at once.

Data leaving Europe

Two of the companies below are American, and this has to be said plainly rather than left for you to work out: using this site means some data is processed outside the European Economic Area.

  • Vercel hosts the site, so every request reaches their infrastructure.
  • Microsoft authenticates members and serves gamerpics, so signing in involves them by definition.

Both operate under the safeguards the GDPR requires for transfers of this kind, which today means the EU-US Data Privacy Framework and the standard contractual clauses that sit behind it. If you would rather none of your data reached either company, the site is fully readable without signing in, and never signing in is a complete answer.

If you never sign in

Click counts

When a download, buy or preview button is used, your browser sends the product's identifier so a counter on that product can be incremented. It is a single number per product. No identifier for you, no address and no timestamp is stored alongside it, so the count cannot be traced back to any individual visit.

Server logs

The hosting platform records ordinary web server logs for every request: the IP address it came from, the page requested, the time, the response status and the browser's user-agent string. This happens at the platform level for operational and security reasons and is retained on the platform's own schedule. It is used to keep the site running and to investigate abuse, not to profile anyone.

Rate-limiting counters

To stop automated abuse of sign-in, commenting and the click counter, the server keeps a short-lived count of requests per IP address in memory. Nothing is written to a database, and the counters are discarded within minutes.

Preferences stored in your browser

Your light or dark theme choice is stored in your own browser's local storage under pcc-theme. It never leaves your device and is not readable by this site's server. Clearing your site data removes it.

If you sign in

How signing in works

Signing in uses your Microsoft account. You are sent to Microsoft, you authenticate with them, and they send this site back a token confirming that you did. Your password and any two-factor code are entered on Microsoft's site, not this one. They are never transmitted to, seen by, or stored by Pective's Cozy Collection. That is the whole reason sign-in is done this way.

This site then asks Microsoft's Xbox services for your gamertag and the address of your gamerpic. The gamertag is the only name shown next to your comments. Your Microsoft account name is never displayed on this site. If your account has no Xbox profile on it, or that lookup is unavailable, you appear as “Member” and you are told why.

What is stored about a member

This is the complete list of columns on a member record:

  • An identifier for your Microsoft account. It is a pairwise identifier: Microsoft issues a different one to every application, so it identifies you here and is meaningless to any other site.
  • Your Xbox gamertag, and the Xbox account id it belongs to. This is one of the two names that can be shown for you.
  • If this Microsoft account owns Minecraft: Java Edition, your Minecraft username, the account's UUID, and the address of your skin texture. Read from Mojang at sign-in, about the account you have just proved you own, and never for anybody else. If your Microsoft account has no Java Edition on it, no request is made about you at all and none of these exist on your record.
  • Which of those two names you have chosen to be shown under. A Minecraft account is picked up automatically the first time it is seen, and you can switch to your gamertag at any time from your account page.
  • The address of your Xbox gamerpic. The picture itself is never copied here: what is stored is the URL Microsoft gave for it, and the image is loaded from Microsoft by the browser of anyone reading a page you appear on - which means Microsoft can see that those people loaded it. This site sends them nothing about you or about the page beyond the address of the site itself.
  • Your Microsoft display name. It is never displayed on any page of this site. It is kept only so that the site owner can tell one member from another in the moderation queue when several of them have no gamertag yet, and it never leaves the server.
  • Whether you have accepted the terms, which version, and when.
  • Which membership plan you are on, and the date you first saw the plan chooser. Everybody is on Free: there is no billing on this site, no card details are collected because there is nothing to collect them with, and no payment processor is involved at all. If that changes, this page changes with it before it does.
  • When the account was created and when it was last used.
  • Whether the account has been suspended.

Microsoft access tokens are not stored. They exist for the few seconds of the sign-in and are then discarded, and no refresh token is requested at all, so this site can never act as you against Microsoft or Xbox afterwards.

What is stored about what you do

  • Likes: which products you liked and when. A like is public: it is counted under the product and the total is shown to everybody.
  • Saved products: which products you saved and when. Unlike a like, this is private - it is not counted anywhere, it is not shown on the product, and nobody else can see it. It exists so you can find things again.
  • Comments: the text you wrote, which product it was on, when, and what the automatic filter scored it. Comments are public and are shown under your Xbox gamertag and gamerpic.
  • Reports: if you report a comment, that you did so.
  • Paid downloads: a per-product counter, the same one free products have. It records that a download happened, not who did it.
  • Friends: which members you have asked to be friends with, which have asked you, and which of those were accepted. Removing a friend deletes that record outright rather than marking it removed, and the other person is not told.
  • Messages: the text you send to a friend, which product you attached to it if any, when it was sent, whether it has been edited, and when the recipient first opened it. Deleting a message deletes the row for both of you.

Messages are private between the two people in them, and no page on this site shows them to anybody else. They are not encrypted end-to-end, and it would be dishonest to imply otherwise: they are ordinary rows in the site's database, which Pective's Cozy Collection administers and could therefore read directly, and which the hosting provider stores. Treat them as private correspondence on a small site rather than as a secure channel - do not send anything through them you would not send by email.

The session cookies

Signing in sets one cookie, pcc_member_session, which holds a signed member id and an expiry. It holds no personal data. It is HttpOnly, SameSite=Lax and Secure, and expires after thirty days.

Two more cookies exist only during the few seconds of a sign-in, pcc_oauth_state and pcc_oauth_verifier, and are deleted the moment you return. The site owner's own sign-in uses a separate cookie, pcc_admin_session.

There are no other cookies, and no advertising or analytics cookies at all. No consent banner is shown because every cookie here is strictly necessary for a sign-in you chose to start.

Third parties that process data

Running the site means other companies handle some of the data above. These are the only ones:

  • Microsoft authenticates you, their Xbox Live services answer the request for your gamertag and gamerpic, and their image hosts serve that picture to anyone viewing a page you appear on. Microsoft knows that you signed in to this site. Their handling of your account is governed by the Microsoft Privacy Statement and their services agreement, not by this page.
  • Mojang, who answer for Minecraft: Java Edition. When you sign in, this site asks them whether the Microsoft account you signed in with owns Java Edition, and if so for the username and skin on it. Mojang therefore know that account signed in here. The request is made once per sign-in, only about the person signing in, and never about anybody else. Their skin server also serves your skin to the browser of anyone reading a page you appear on, in the same way Microsoft's image hosts serve a gamerpic.
  • mc-heads.net renders the small head picture shown beside a Minecraft member's name. The address of that picture contains the member's Minecraft UUID, which is public information, and the picture is loaded from mc-heads by the browser of anyone reading a page that member appears on - so mc-heads can see that those people loaded it. Nothing is sent to them about who is looking, and this site sends them nothing at all: the request is made by your browser, not by this server.
  • Discord serve the server preview on the front page and the content page. It is a frame from discord.com and, unlike everything else embedded on this site, it loads with the page rather than waiting to be pressed - so Discord see the request and the address it came from, and may set their own cookies inside that frame, for every visitor to those two pages whether or not they have an account anywhere. Nothing is sent to them about you: the frame is given a server id and nothing else, and it cannot read this page or be read by it.
  • YouTube serve the video players on the content page and on product pages, and only once you press one. Until then no request reaches them from your browser at all. The thumbnail on a video is a real one, and it is served from this site rather than from theirs: it is copied across once, by this server, when the video is added, so looking at a page with a video on it tells YouTube nothing. Pressing play loads the player from youtube-nocookie.com, which is their host that holds its cookies back until something is actually played.
  • Vercel hosts the site and its serverless functions, and therefore handles every request and the server logs described above.
  • Vercel Blob stores product icons and screenshots and serves them to visitors.
  • The database provider stores the product catalogue, the click counters, and the member, like and comment records described above.
  • The stores products link out to. Buy and download buttons send you to another company's site, and from the moment you arrive there their privacy policy applies and not this one. Pective's Cozy Collection receives nothing back from them about you.

Fonts are compiled into this site at build time and served from this domain, so loading a page sends no request to Google Fonts or any other font host. Four things are the exception, and each is named above: an Xbox gamerpic loads from Microsoft, a Minecraft head from mc-heads.net, any image inside a product's README from wherever its author put it, and the Discord preview from Discord. In each case that host sees the request and therefore the address it came from. Everything else on every page is served from this domain.

Artificial intelligence

This site has no chatbot, no assistant and no feature that sends anything you write to a language model. Your comments are checked by a filter that runs on this server and is a set of rules in this site's own source code, not a machine learning service: nothing you type is sent to an AI provider, and no comment is used to train anything.

AI coding tools were used while building and maintaining this site, and product descriptions may have been drafted or edited with their help. That means AI touched the code and the copy. It does not mean any visitor or member data was given to an AI provider, and none has been.

Files and public storage

Members cannot upload files. The only files stored are product icons and screenshots uploaded by the site owner through the admin, and they live in a public storage bucket.

That is deliberate and necessary, because a browser has to fetch a product image without signing in, but it has a consequence worth stating plainly: anyone who knows or guesses a file's URL can open it. Nothing private is ever put there.

When a product is deleted from the admin, its icon and every one of its gallery images are deleted from that bucket in the same action, before the database row goes. Deleted means deleted, not hidden.

Deleting your account

There is a button for it on your account page, and it does exactly what it says. Deleting your account removes the member record, every comment you have written and every like you have given, in a single database operation. There is no soft-delete, no archived copy and no thirty-day window in which it could be restored.

You can also delete any individual comment from that page, at any time, without deleting the account.

Server logs held by the hosting platform are outside this and expire on the platform's own schedule.

How long things are kept

  • Member records, likes, saved products and comments: until you delete them.
  • Click counts: for as long as the product exists, and deleted with it.
  • Product images: until the product or the image is deleted, then removed from storage immediately.
  • Server logs: kept by the hosting platform on its own retention schedule, typically days to weeks.
  • Rate-limit counters: minutes.
  • Sign-in handshake cookies: the length of one sign-in.
  • The member session cookie: thirty days, or until you sign out.

Your rights

Depending on where you live you may have the right to ask what personal data is held about you, to have it corrected or erased, to object to its processing and to receive a copy of it.

For most of that you do not need to ask anyone: your account page shows everything held about you and the delete button erases it. For anything else, or for a copy in a portable format, write to no public contact address is set for this site yet. A request of this kind is answered within one month, which is the deadline the law sets rather than a target.

If you believe your data has been handled improperly you have the right to complain to a supervisory authority. Because this site is run from the Netherlands, that is the Autoriteit Persoonsgegevens, and you may also complain to the authority for the country you live in. Complaining does not require asking here first, though it is usually faster to.

Children

Minecraft has a young audience, so this needs saying plainly.

Accounts on this site are for people aged 16 or over. If you are under 16, a parent or guardian has to agree to the terms before you make one. Everything except an account works without one: the whole catalogue can be read, browsed and downloaded by anybody, at any age, without signing in or being asked for anything.

This site does not knowingly create an account for a younger person without that permission, and it does not ask any visitor for their date of birth, so it has no way to check beyond taking your word for it. If you are a parent or guardian and believe a child has created an account here without your agreement, write to no public contact address is set for this site yet and it will be deleted, along with everything on it, without argument.

Comments are filtered automatically for abuse, obscenity and contact details, and posting a phone number, an email address or a link is refused outright, which is as much for the safety of younger members as it is against spam.

Changes

If this policy changes, the date at the top of the page changes with it. If the change is material, members are asked to accept the updated terms the next time they visit rather than being opted in quietly.

Questions about this page: no public contact address is set for this site yet.
