How This Site Uses Cookies
This catalogue relies on cookies and similar storage technologies to function properly and to improve your experience. This policy explains what cookies are, which ones we use, and how you can control them.
What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files stored on your device by your web browser. They help a website remember your preferences, understand how you navigate, and, where relevant, deliver advertisements. Cookies may be session cookies (deleted when you close your browser) or persistent cookies (remain for a period set by the cookie).
First-Party and Third-Party Cookies
First-party cookies are set by this site directly. Third-party cookies may be set by services we use, such as analytics providers or advertising networks (if ads are displayed). We do not control those third parties’ use of cookies.
Types of Cookies We Use
Essential Cookies
These are necessary for the site to function. They enable core features such as security, network management, and account access where applicable. Without these cookies, some parts of the site may not work. Essential cookies do not require your consent.
Preference Cookies
These cookies remember your choices, such as language or display settings, to give you a more personalised experience. They may be set by us or by third parties whose services we have added to our pages. If you disable these cookies, some preferences may not be remembered.
Analytics Cookies (where enabled)
We may use analytics tools to collect anonymous information about how visitors interact with the catalogue. This helps us understand which pages are popular, how users navigate, and where improvements can be made. For example, we might learn that readers frequently look at reading companions for titles such as The Desert and the Sown or Endymion, allowing us to refine our catalogue structure. These cookies do not identify you personally.
Advertising Cookies (where ads are displayed)
If advertisements appear on this site, Google and other advertising partners may set cookies to deliver ads relevant to your interests, limit the number of times you see an ad, and measure ad effectiveness. These cookies may track your browsing across different websites. Where advertising is enabled, you will be asked for consent before such cookies are placed.
Local Storage
In addition to cookies, this site may use local storage (e.g., HTML5 localStorage) to store data on your device for similar purposes, such as remembering your preferences or caching content. You can clear local storage through your browser settings.
Your Consent Choices
When you first visit the site, you may see a banner asking for your consent to non-essential cookies. You can accept all, reject all, or customise your preferences. Your choice will be remembered via a cookie. You can change your preferences at any time by clicking the “Cookie Settings” link (if available) or by adjusting your browser settings.
Withdrawal of Optional Consent
If you previously accepted optional cookies but change your mind, you can withdraw consent by clearing your cookies and reloading the site, or by using the consent management tool provided. Withdrawal does not affect the lawfulness of processing based on consent before its withdrawal.
Browser Controls
Most browsers allow you to block or delete cookies. To do this, follow the instructions provided by your browser (usually found in the “Help” or “Settings” menu). Please note that disabling all cookies may affect the functionality of this and other websites.
Practical Effects of Disabling Storage
If you disable cookies or local storage, essential features may not work correctly. For example, you may not be able to log in to any account features, and some pages may not display properly. Preference settings may be lost, and analytics data will not be collected. This could affect your ability to navigate categories like “Young Readers Enchanted Adventures” or “Science Fiction Utopias” smoothly.
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 it periodically.
