This Cookie Policy explains how Eugénie ("we", "us", or "our") uses cookies and similar technologies when you visit our website at hieugenie.com.
What are cookies?
Cookies are small data files placed on your device when you visit a website. They allow websites to function properly, remember your preferences, and provide analytics on how the site is used.
First-party cookies are set by Eugénie directly. Third-party cookies are set by other services we use (such as Google Analytics).
Why we use cookies
We use cookies for two main reasons:
- Essential functionality — to make our website work properly, remember your language preference, and maintain security.
- Analytics — to understand how visitors use our website so we can improve it.
We do not use cookies for advertising, retargeting, or tracking you across other websites.

Other tracking technologies
We may occasionally use similar technologies such as web beacons (also called "tracking pixels"). These are tiny graphics that help us understand how visitors interact with our website. They generally rely on cookies to function, so disabling cookies will disable them as well.
We do not use Flash cookies or Local Shared Objects (LSOs).
Targeted advertising
We do not serve targeted advertising. We do not allow third parties to use our website for advertising purposes.
