Cookie Policy
This Cookie Policy explains how I use cookies and similar technologies on styles-4-you.com. It tells you what cookies are, which ones I use, why I use them, and how you can control your preferences. For questions, email privacy@styles-4-you.com.
What cookies are
Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. They help the site remember your actions and preferences so things work correctly and feel consistent. Similar technologies include pixels, tags, local storage, and device identifiers. I refer to all of these as cookies for simplicity.
Why I use cookies
I use cookies to
- make the site function and keep it secure
- remember your preferences, such as newsletter form states
- understand how readers use the site so I can improve content
- support features like comments or embedded media
- measure affiliate links and sponsored content performance where applicable
Types of cookies I use
- Strictly necessary cookies. Required for the site to work. You cannot turn these off in my systems.
- Performance and analytics cookies. Help me measure traffic and understand how visitors move around the site.
- Functionality cookies. Remember choices you make, like forms you started or pages you prefer.
- Advertising and affiliate cookies. Attribute commissions, prevent fraud, and limit repetitive ads if ads are used.
- Social and embedded content cookies. Power things like embedded videos or social shares if those features are active.
First party and third party cookies
First party cookies are set by styles-4-you.com. Third party cookies are set by services that help me run the site, such as analytics providers, email tools, or affiliate networks. Third party providers can recognize your device when you visit my site and sometimes when you visit other sites that use their services.
Examples of data collected through cookies
- page views, scroll depth, time on page, referring pages
- device type, browser type, general location derived from IP
- interactions with links and buttons, including affiliate links and opt in forms
I use this information in aggregate when possible. I do not store your payment information on this site.
How long cookies last
Some cookies are session cookies and disappear when you close your browser. Others are persistent and stay until they expire or you delete them. Persistence periods vary based on the cookie’s purpose.
Your choices and how to manage cookies
- Cookie banner. When presented, use the preference options to allow or reject non essential cookies.
- Browser settings. Most browsers let you block or delete cookies. Check your browser’s help section for steps.
- Mobile settings. Your device may include settings that limit tracking or reset identifiers.
If you block cookies, some features may not work as expected.
Analytics
I use analytics to understand which posts are helpful, which pages need improvement, and how the site performs. Analytics cookies help me count visits, see general patterns, and fix issues. I use this information to improve your experience.
Advertising and affiliate tracking
Some posts include affiliate links. Cookies may be used to attribute a commission to this site if you make a purchase after clicking a link. This does not change your price. I do not control the cookies used by retailers. If I run ads, cookies may be used to limit repeated ads and to measure performance.
Social features and embedded content
If I embed content like a video or a social post, those services may set cookies to make the feature work and to measure usage. Your interaction with embedded content is subject to the provider’s settings. You can reduce tracking by limiting embedded content through browser tools.
Changes to this policy
I may update this Cookie Policy as I add features or as laws and best practices evolve. I will update the effective date when changes are made. Your continued use of the site after an update means you accept the revised policy.
