CozyNode privacy policy

Last updated: 30 October 2026

CozyNode is a browser extension that routes Chrome traffic through a proxy server that you own and run yourself.

What the extension stores

• The connection link you paste (server address, port, login and password), the on/off state, the mode and your list of selected sites.
• All of it is kept in chrome.storage.local on your device only. It is never sent to the developer or to any third party.

Where your traffic goes

• While the proxy is on, Chrome sends web traffic (all sites, or only the sites you selected) to your own server. The developer does not operate these servers and has no access to them or to your traffic.
• The "Check connection" button requests https://www.cloudflare.com/cdn-cgi/trace through your server to show the IP address and country that websites see. Cloudflare's own privacy policy applies to that request.

What the extension does not do

• No analytics, telemetry, advertising, tracking or remote code.
• No accounts, no data collection, no sale or transfer of data.

Permissions

• proxy: set Chrome's proxy to your server.
• webRequest, webRequestAuthProvider, host access <all_urls>: answer your server's login request (HTTP 407) with the credentials you saved; requests are not read or modified otherwise.
• privacy: limit WebRTC to the proxy while it is on so your real IP does not leak.
• storage: keep your settings on the device.
