Privacy Policy

EmpiresDiary ("we," "our," or "us") is committed to protecting your privacy. This policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and how advertising consent works on empiresdiary.com.

Information We Collect

Information You Provide

• Information you send directly by email
• Details you include when reporting a factual issue or requesting a correction
• Any information you voluntarily provide in support or licensing inquiries

Information Collected Automatically

• Standard server and CDN request logs, such as IP address, user agent, and requested pages
• Browser type and version
• Operating system and device type
• Pages visited, approximate time spent, and referring pages

Cookies And Browser Storage

EmpiresDiary uses limited browser storage to remember site preferences, such as your advertising consent choice and local reading interactions on your device.

• Preference storage: Used to remember your cookie setting and simple local site preferences
• Advertising cookies: Used by Google AdSense only if you explicitly accept advertising cookies

If you decline advertising cookies, EmpiresDiary does not load the AdSense script. You can revisit your choice at any time using the cookie settings button on the site.

Advertising And Google AdSense

EmpiresDiary uses Google AdSense to display advertisements. Third-party vendors, including Google, may use cookies to serve ads and measure performance.

On EmpiresDiary, AdSense is loaded only after you explicitly accept advertising cookies. If you decline, we do not request AdSense through our site.

You can learn more about how Google uses information on partner sites here: How Google uses data when you use our partners' sites or apps.

You may also adjust Google advertising preferences at Google Ads Settings.

How We Use Information

• Operate and maintain the website
• Respond to questions, support requests, and correction reports
• Improve content quality and site reliability
• Display advertisements when you explicitly accept advertising cookies
• Detect abuse, fraud, or security issues

AI-Assisted Content

EmpiresDiary uses AI tools to assist with episode drafting, narration, and historical illustration generation. Those systems are part of a factual review pipeline rather than a publish-without-review workflow. For a fuller explanation, see our AI methodology and editorial policy.

Third-Party Services

• Google AdSense: Advertising services, loaded only after explicit ad-cookie consent
• Amazon Web Services: Hosting, storage, and infrastructure
• CloudFront CDN: Fast content delivery and request handling

Your Rights

Depending on your location, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, or object to certain uses of your personal data. You may also withdraw consent where processing relies on consent.

To make a request, contact us at buyabsnss@gmail.com.

Data Retention And Security

We retain direct correspondence only as long as reasonably necessary to respond, maintain records, resolve disputes, or comply with legal obligations. Preference storage on your device remains until you clear it or change the setting.

We use commercially reasonable measures such as HTTPS, secure hosting infrastructure, and access controls, but no internet transmission or storage system is completely secure.

Changes To This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Any material changes will be reflected by updating the date at the top of this page.
