1. What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files that websites place on your device (computer, phone, or tablet) when you visit them. They help the website remember your preferences, keep you logged in, and understand how you use the site. Cookies are standard across virtually all websites and are not harmful to your device.

2. How we use cookies

Tradwife Club uses cookies for the following purposes:

Essential cookies (strictly necessary). These cookies are required for the website to function properly. They enable core features like page navigation, secure login to your community account, and form submissions. Without these cookies, the site cannot work as intended. These cookies do not collect personal information for marketing purposes and cannot be disabled.

Functionality cookies. These cookies remember your preferences — such as whether you have already dismissed a notification banner, your community display settings, or your cookie consent choice. They improve your experience but are not strictly necessary for the site to function.

Analytics cookies (if enabled). If we use analytics, we use privacy-respecting tools that do not track you across websites or create advertising profiles. These cookies help us understand which pages are popular, how visitors find us, and where we can improve. All analytics data is aggregated and anonymous — we cannot identify you personally from it.

We do not use: advertising cookies, retargeting cookies, or any cookies that track you across other websites for marketing purposes. We do not serve ads on Tradwife Club, and we do not share cookie data with advertisers.

4. Third-party cookies

We aim to minimize third-party cookies. However, the following situations may involve cookies set by external services:

Embedded content. Some blog posts may include embedded videos (YouTube, Vimeo) or social media posts. When you view a page with embedded content, the third-party provider may set its own cookies. We have no control over these cookies. You can prevent them by not interacting with embedded content or by adjusting your browser settings.

Community platform. If the community features use a third-party service, it may set additional cookies for authentication and functionality. These are essential for the community to operate.

We do not allow third-party advertising cookies on our site.

5. How to control cookies

You have full control over cookies on your device. Here is how:

Cookie consent banner. When you first visit Tradwife Club, a cookie consent banner allows you to accept or configure which types of cookies you permit. You can change your preferences at any time by clearing your cookies and revisiting the site.

Browser settings. All major browsers allow you to view, manage, and delete cookies through their settings. You can also configure your browser to block certain types of cookies or to notify you before a cookie is set. Here are links to cookie management instructions for the most common browsers:

Please note: if you disable essential cookies, some features of the site — such as community login and form submissions — may not work correctly.
