Cookie Policy

This Cookie Policy explains how SheStat uses cookies and similar technologies in connection with the website available at shestat.com. It should be read together with our Privacy Policy, which explains how we handle personal information more generally.

1. What Cookies Are

Cookies are small text files that may be placed on a device when a website is visited. Similar technologies may include local storage, pixels, tags, scripts, or other tools that store or access information on a device or browser. These technologies may be used to enable core site functions, remember settings, measure performance, or support analytics and related operational purposes.

2. How SheStat Currently Uses Cookies

At the time of this policy, SheStat does not intentionally deploy advertising cookies, cross-site behavioral tracking cookies, or personalization cookies on the public site. SheStat also does not intentionally use cookies for retargeting or interest-based advertising.

Where technically necessary, infrastructure providers or integrated services may use limited device-side technologies for functions such as security, abuse prevention, load balancing, or form delivery. If SheStat introduces non-essential cookies or similar tracking technologies in the future, this policy will be updated and any required notice or consent mechanism will be implemented before such technologies are used.

3. Categories of Cookies and Similar Technologies

• Strictly necessary technologies: technologies required for basic site operation, integrity, security, or essential service delivery.
• Performance or analytics technologies: technologies used to understand aggregate site usage and improve functionality.
• Advertising or targeting technologies: technologies used to track user behavior across sites or deliver tailored advertising.

SheStat's present operating intention is to avoid advertising or targeting technologies on the public site and to favor privacy-preserving measurement practices where possible.

4. Analytics and Similar Technologies

SheStat may use privacy-oriented analytics tooling or hosting-level diagnostics to understand aggregate traffic patterns, page performance, and service reliability. Where such tooling is used, SheStat's intention is to avoid unnecessary collection of personally identifiable information and to minimize reliance on non-essential tracking technologies.

5. Third-Party Services

Certain third-party providers that support hosting, email subscriptions, security, or analytics may use their own cookies or similar technologies subject to their own legal notices and policies. SheStat does not control third-party technologies once you interact with those providers directly. Readers should review applicable third-party notices where relevant.

6. Browser Controls

Most browsers allow users to control cookies through browser settings. Depending on the browser you use, you may be able to delete existing cookies, block new cookies, receive notice before a cookie is stored, or disable certain categories of storage and tracking technologies. Please note that disabling strictly necessary technologies may affect the availability or functionality of portions of the site.

7. Changes to This Policy

SheStat may revise this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect operational, legal, or technical changes. The "Last updated" date at the top of this page indicates when this policy was most recently revised.
