What Are Cookies

Cookies are small text files stored on your device by your web browser when you visit a website. They help the site remember your actions and preferences over time. Similar technologies, such as local storage and session storage, may also be used for the same purposes.

How We Use Storage

Classic Adventure Library uses cookies and local storage for several purposes. Some storage is essential for the site to function, such as remembering your session and enabling secure access. Other storage helps us understand how visitors use the catalogue and, where advertising is displayed, makes that advertising more relevant.

Essential Cookies

These are necessary for the site to operate. They include session cookies that keep you logged in (if you choose to create an account) and security tokens that protect against fraudulent activity. Without these, parts of the site may not work correctly. Essential cookies do not require your consent.

Preference Cookies

These remember choices you make, such as your preferred text size, reading mode, or language. They may also store whether you have dismissed certain informational notices. Preference cookies are not strictly essential but enhance your experience. We will ask for your consent before setting them unless they are strictly necessary.

Analytics Cookies

Where enabled, we use analytics services (such as Google Analytics) to collect anonymized information about how visitors use the catalogue. This includes which pages are visited most often, how long visitors stay, and what links they click. This data helps us improve the site and understand which books and articles are of interest. Analytics cookies are set only with your consent.

Advertising Cookies

If advertisements are displayed on this site, we may use Google advertising technologies (including Google AdSense) to serve ads. These technologies may set cookies on your device to build a profile of your interests and show you relevant ads across the web. Advertising cookies are third-party cookies and are only used with your explicit consent.

First-Party and Third-Party Cookies

First-party cookies are set by Classic Adventure Library directly. Third-party cookies are set by services we use, such as Google Analytics or Google AdSense. These third parties may use their own cookies for their purposes, subject to their own privacy policies. We do not control the data collected by third parties through their cookies.

Session and Persistent Cookies

Session cookies are temporary and are deleted when you close your browser. Persistent cookies remain on your device for a longer period, typically until they expire or you delete them. The exact duration varies by cookie but is generally set to a reasonable period, such as 30 days for analytics cookies or up to 2 years for advertising cookies.

Local Storage

In addition to cookies, we may use local storage (also known as DOM storage) to store data on your device. This is similar to cookies but can hold larger amounts of data and does not automatically expire. We use local storage for preferences and to remember your reading progress on certain titles. You can clear local storage through your browser settings.

Your Choices and Consent

When you first visit the site, we present a cookie consent notice. For any non-essential cookies (preferences, analytics, advertising), we ask for your explicit consent. You can accept all, reject all, or customize your choices. Your consent is stored in a cookie so that we do not ask you repeatedly.

You may withdraw your consent at any time by clearing your cookies and local storage, or by using the consent management tool available on our site (if displayed). Withdrawal of consent will not affect the lawfulness of processing based on consent before its withdrawal.

Browser Controls

Most browsers allow you to control cookies through their settings. You can block or delete cookies, and you can set your browser to notify you when a cookie is set. Please note that if you disable all cookies, including essential ones, some features of the catalogue may not function properly. For example, you may not be able to log in or maintain your reading preferences.

To learn more about managing cookies, visit the help pages of your browser:

• Google Chrome
• Mozilla Firefox
• Apple Safari
• Microsoft Edge

Practical Effects of Disabling Storage

If you choose to disable cookies and local storage entirely, the site will still work for basic browsing and reading public-domain ebooks. However, you will lose the ability to save preferences, maintain a reading list, or see personalized advertising. Analytics will be disabled, and we will not be able to track your session for security purposes beyond the bare minimum.

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 policy periodically.
