Cookie Policy

This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are, how Oriessa uses them across our home decor, fashion, beauty, nails, hairstyles, fitness, weddings, DIY, and interiors content, and the choices you have in managing them. It should be read alongside our Privacy Policy and Terms of Use, which together explain how we handle your data and set out the rules for using this site.

By continuing to browse Oriessa, you agree to the use of cookies as described here, unless you have adjusted your browser or device settings to refuse them. We encourage you to read this page in full so you understand exactly what is happening behind the scenes when you visit us for inspiration on room makeovers, nail art, wedding planning, or workout routines.

What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer, tablet, or smartphone when you visit a website. They allow the site to recognize your device on repeat visits, remember your preferences, and gather information about how the site is used. Cookies do not typically contain information that directly identifies you by name, but they can be linked to a browser or device in ways that make your browsing experience more personal and efficient.

Similar technologies, such as pixels, web beacons, and local storage, may work alongside cookies to achieve comparable results, and for simplicity we refer to all of these collectively as "cookies" throughout this policy.

Types of Cookies We Use

Oriessa uses several categories of cookies, each serving a different purpose:

Essential Cookies

These cookies are necessary for the website to function properly. They enable core features such as page navigation, secure browsing, and access to protected areas of the site. Without these cookies, parts of Oriessa may not work as intended, so they cannot be switched off through our own cookie settings, though you can still block them via your browser.

Preference Cookies

Preference cookies remember choices you have made, such as your preferred language, region, or display settings, so that your next visit feels familiar and consistent. For example, if you have previously browsed our fitness or interiors sections, these cookies may help present related content more smoothly.

Analytics Cookies

Analytics cookies help us understand how visitors interact with Oriessa — which articles on hairstyles, beauty routines, or DIY projects are most popular, how long people stay on a page, and how they navigate from one section to another. This information is aggregated and used to improve site structure, content quality, and overall user experience. It does not identify you personally.

Marketing and Affiliate Cookies

These cookies track browsing habits across websites to help us and our partners deliver more relevant advertising and measure the performance of affiliate links. When you click through to a retailer or brand mentioned in one of our beauty, fashion, or wedding guides, a cookie may be set to record that the referral came from Oriessa. This is explained further in our Affiliate Disclaimer and Disclosure pages, which detail how we may earn a commission from qualifying purchases at no extra cost to you.

Third-Party Cookies

Some cookies on Oriessa are placed by third parties rather than by us directly. These may include analytics providers, advertising networks, social sharing tools, and affiliate partners. Third-party cookies are governed by the privacy policies of those respective companies, and we do not control how they process the data they collect. If you use Pinterest to save or share our images and articles, please also review our Pinterest Disclaimer for additional details on how that platform may track engagement.

Consent and Cookie Banners

When you first visit Oriessa, you may see a cookie notice or banner asking you to accept, reject, or customize your cookie preferences. Your choices are generally remembered for future visits through a consent cookie itself. You can change your mind at any time by clearing your cookies and revisiting the site, or by adjusting settings directly in your browser as described below.

How to Manage or Disable Cookies

Most web browsers allow you to control cookies through their settings menu. You can typically choose to:

• Block all cookies from being set
• Delete existing cookies from your device
• Allow cookies only from sites you trust
• Receive a notification each time a cookie is offered
• Browse in a private or incognito mode that limits cookie storage

Instructions vary by browser, so we recommend checking the help section of Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge, or whichever browser you use. Please note that blocking or deleting cookies may affect how parts of Oriessa function, and some personalized features, such as saved preferences, may no longer work correctly.

How Long Cookies Last

Cookies fall into two broad categories based on how long they remain on your device. Session cookies are temporary and are automatically deleted once you close your browser. Persistent cookies remain on your device for a set period, ranging from a few days to several years, unless you delete them manually beforehand. The exact duration depends on the purpose of the cookie and, for third-party cookies, the policies of the provider that set them.

Children and Cookies

Oriessa is intended for a general audience and is not designed for children. We do not knowingly use cookies to collect information from minors. If you believe a child has provided personal information through our site, please contact us so we can address it appropriately.

Updates to This Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in technology, legislation, or the tools we use across the site. Any updates will be posted on this page with a revised effective date, so we encourage you to check back periodically. For a fuller picture of how content decisions and data practices are made on Oriessa, you may also find it useful to read our Editorial Policy and About Us page.
