Cookie Notice

This Cookie Notice explains how cookies and similar technologies may be used in connection with ReadingHerSignals.com and certain third-party services accessible through or integrated with the website.

In this Cookie Notice, “Reading Her Signals,” “we,” “us” and “our” refer to the Reading Her Signals publishing brand and website.

1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small pieces of data that a website or online service may store or access through your browser or device.

Cookies can serve different purposes. Depending on the website or service, they may be used to provide essential functionality, maintain security, remember preferences, support payments, measure service performance, prevent fraud, understand usage or support advertising and other online functions.

Similar technologies may include local storage, session storage and other browser or device-based storage mechanisms.

2. Current Reading Her Signals Configuration

Reading Her Signals does not currently intentionally use its own analytics or advertising cookies on ReadingHerSignals.com.

In particular, we do not currently intentionally deploy our own Google Analytics, Meta Pixel or similar advertising or remarketing technology through the ordinary Reading Her Signals website.

The website may nevertheless use or rely on browser, server or technical functionality that is reasonably necessary to operate, secure, deliver or maintain the website and its services.

Third-party services integrated with or accessed through ReadingHerSignals.com may use their own cookies and similar technologies, as explained below.

3. PayPal Checkout

ReadingHerSignals.com uses PayPal to process direct digital-product payments.

When PayPal checkout functionality is loaded or used, PayPal may place, access or otherwise use cookies, local storage, session storage and similar technologies through its own services and domains.

These technologies may be used by PayPal for purposes such as providing payment functionality, recognizing users, maintaining security, preventing fraud, managing risk, measuring or improving its services, remembering choices and other purposes described in PayPal's own privacy and cookie materials.

Some PayPal technologies may also support analytics, personalization, advertising or similar purposes according to PayPal's own practices and the choices or controls that PayPal makes available.

Cookies or browser-storage technologies associated with PayPal are controlled through PayPal's service and may change independently of Reading Her Signals.

Reading Her Signals therefore does not maintain a fixed public list of every individual PayPal cookie or storage identifier.

You should refer to PayPal's own privacy, cookie and tracking information for current details about how PayPal uses these technologies.

4. Kit and Reader Communications

Reading Her Signals currently uses Kit for reader-list, email and complimentary-content functions, including access to complimentary Chapter One content.

When you follow a link to a Kit-hosted page, submit a Kit-powered form or otherwise interact with Kit's services, Kit may use cookies or similar technologies in accordance with its own privacy and technology practices.

Technologies used on a Kit-hosted page or service may be controlled by Kit rather than ReadingHerSignals.com.

5. Essential and Security Technologies

Certain technologies may be necessary or reasonably required for functions such as:

  • delivering website content;
  • maintaining website and service security;
  • supporting payment functionality;
  • preventing fraud, abuse or malicious activity;
  • maintaining technical reliability; and
  • supporting other functionality requested by a visitor.

The particular technologies involved may depend on the services or features that you choose to use.

6. Analytics and Advertising

Reading Her Signals does not currently intentionally deploy its own analytics or advertising cookies on ReadingHerSignals.com.

However, third-party services integrated with or accessed through the website may use analytics, advertising, personalization or similar technologies under their own policies.

For example, PayPal may use technologies associated with its checkout and payment services for purposes determined by PayPal.

If Reading Her Signals introduces its own analytics, advertising, remarketing or additional tracking technologies in the future, this Cookie Notice may be updated and additional controls or consent mechanisms may be introduced where appropriate.

7. Third-Party Technologies

Third-party providers may independently determine the cookies or similar technologies that they use through their services.

Reading Her Signals does not control every cookie, identifier, browser-storage item or technology used by an independent third-party service.

Third-party technologies are generally governed by the privacy, cookie and technology practices of the relevant provider.

You should review the relevant provider's information if you would like more detail about its current practices.

8. Managing Cookies and Browser Storage

Most modern browsers provide controls that allow you to review, block or delete cookies and certain forms of browser storage.

The available controls depend on your browser, device and settings.

Blocking or deleting certain cookies or browser-storage technologies may affect the operation of website features or third-party services.

In particular, restricting technologies required by a payment provider may affect your ability to use checkout or complete a payment.

Third-party providers may also make their own privacy, cookie or advertising preference controls available.

9. Relationship With Our Privacy Policy

This Cookie Notice should be read together with our Privacy Policy.

The Privacy Policy provides additional information about how personal information may be collected, used, stored, disclosed and otherwise processed in connection with Reading Her Signals.

10. Changes to This Cookie Notice

We may update this Cookie Notice from time to time to reflect changes in the website, third-party integrations, technologies, service providers or applicable requirements.

For example, we may update this notice if we introduce analytics, advertising or other technologies that are not currently used by Reading Her Signals.

The current version will be published on ReadingHerSignals.com with an updated revision date.
