What Are Cookies

Cookies are small text files stored on your device by your web browser. They help websites remember information about your visit, such as your preferences, and enable certain features to work correctly.

How We Use Cookies

We use cookies and similar technologies (such as local storage) solely to support the operation of our catalogue and to improve your browsing experience. We do not use cookies for marketing purposes unless you have consented where such features are enabled. Below is a description of the types of cookies we may set.

Essential Cookies

These cookies are necessary for the website to function. They enable basic functions like page navigation, secure access, and the display of ebook texts. Without these cookies, the site cannot operate properly. Essential cookies do not require your consent.

Preference Cookies

Preference cookies allow the site to remember choices you make, such as your preferred text size, reading mode, or language. They provide a more personalised experience. These cookies are set only if you interact with such features.

Analytics Cookies (Where Enabled)

Where analytics cookies are enabled, we use them to collect aggregated, anonymous information about how visitors use our site. This helps us understand which pages are most popular, how users navigate, and how we can improve the catalogue. We do not share this data with third parties except as necessary to operate the analytics service (e.g., Google Analytics). You may opt out of analytics cookies through your browser settings or via the consent management tool if available.

Advertising Cookies (Where Ads Are Displayed)

If advertisements are displayed on certain pages, we may use cookies from Google and other advertising partners to deliver relevant ads, measure ad performance, and prevent the same ad from appearing too often. These cookies may track your browsing across different websites. Where such advertising cookies are used, we obtain your prior consent. You can withdraw your consent at any time by adjusting your cookie preferences or by using the opt-out tools provided by the ad networks.

First-Party and Third-Party Cookies

First-party cookies are set by this website directly. Third-party cookies are set by services we use, such as analytics providers or advertising networks. We do not control how third parties use their cookies; we encourage you to review their privacy policies for details.

Session and Persistent Cookies

Session cookies are temporary and are deleted when you close your browser. Persistent cookies remain on your device for a set period or until you manually delete them. We use both types for essential and preference purposes; the exact duration varies by cookie but is never excessive.

Local Storage

In addition to cookies, we may use local storage (also called DOM storage) to store data on your device, such as reading progress or settings. Local storage is similar to persistent cookies but can hold more data and is not automatically sent to the server. You can clear local storage through your browser settings.

Your Choices and Withdrawal of Consent

When you first visit our site, you may be presented with a cookie consent banner where you can accept or decline non-essential cookies. If you later wish to change your preferences, you can do so by clicking the “Cookie Preferences” link in the footer of our site. You can also adjust your browser settings to block or delete cookies. Please note that disabling essential cookies may impair the functionality of the site.

Browser Controls

Most web browsers allow you to control cookies through their settings. You can usually choose to block all cookies, accept only first-party cookies, or delete cookies when you close the browser. For detailed instructions, refer to your browser’s help documentation. Disabling cookies may affect your experience on our site and on other websites.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page. We encourage you to review this page periodically.
