What we collect
This site collects limited technical data to keep the website working. If you choose to allow analytics cookies, we also record page views and interaction events to understand what readers find useful (e.g., which book pages are visited and which outbound Amazon links are clicked).
- Necessary data: a random visitor ID cookie and a short-lived session cookie. We also store basic server logs such as a hashed IP (if enabled), user agent, and referrer, for security and site integrity.
- Analytics data (optional): pageviews, scroll depth, and click events (e.g., “Buy on Amazon” clicks). These are only collected after you opt in via the cookie banner.
- Newsletter subscriptions: if you subscribe, we store your email address, optional first name, your consent, and timestamps. We may also store a hashed IP and user agent for abuse prevention.
- Contact messages: if you send a message, we store the content so we can respond.
How we use data
