Yes, we use cookies. No, not the warm soft kind you deserve with your morning coffee.

1. What cookies are

Cookies are tiny files stored on your device to keep the website running smoothly. Think of them as the digital equivalent of leaving a bookmark in a book instead of starting from page one every time.

2. The types we use

Only the essentials:

Strictly Necessary Cookies

These keep the website alive. Without them, the pages would load like a 2004 blog on dial-up.

Performance Cookies

Anonymous analytics that help us understand which pages women actually read and which we can gently bury.

No advertising cookies

We don’t track you across the internet. We don’t follow you like a jealous ex. We don’t sell your browsing habits to anyone.

3. Why we use cookies

To:

  • load pages properly
  • see what works (and what doesn’t)
  • improve the reading experience
  • keep Empress running fast, clean, and intentional

That’s all.

4. Third-party tools

We may use basic tools such as Google Analytics or similar performance services. They have their own cookie policies, which you can read on their websites if you feel brave.

5. Managing cookies

You can disable cookies in your browser settings. Everything will still work, though you might lose some smoothness.

6. Changes

If we ever update this policy (rare), the latest version will always be on this page.
