Information We Receive When You Visit
Like most websites, our server automatically records certain information each time you visit. This includes your IP address, the type and version of browser and operating system you use, the pages you view, the date and time of your visit, and the website that referred you. We use this information to understand how the catalogue is used, to diagnose technical problems, and to maintain the security and stability of the site.
Information You Voluntarily Provide
If you send us a message, submit a suggestion, or otherwise communicate with us, we receive the content of your communication and any metadata (such as your email address) that you include. We use this only to respond to you and to improve the catalogue. We do not sell or share this information with third parties for their own purposes.
Site Preferences
We may store small pieces of information on your device — commonly known as cookies — to remember your preferences, such as your chosen display settings or the books you have recently viewed. These cookies are not used to track you across other websites and are not shared with advertisers unless you have consented to advertising cookies (see below). You can control or delete these cookies through your browser settings.
Analytics
Where enabled, we use a third-party analytics service to collect aggregated information about how visitors use the catalogue. This service may set cookies on your device and receive your IP address, but we do not allow it to combine that data with any personally identifiable information. The analytics provider has agreed to process this data only on our behalf and not for its own purposes.
Advertising
Where displayed, advertisements on this catalogue are served by Google and other third-party advertising networks. These networks may use cookies, web beacons, or similar technologies to serve ads based on your previous visits to this and other websites. This is known as interest-based advertising. We do not control which cookies are set by these networks, and we do not have access to the data they collect. You can learn more about Google’s advertising practices and opt out of interest-based advertising by visiting the Google Ads Settings page. You can also opt out of many third-party advertising cookies through the Network Advertising Initiative’s opt-out page.
Third-Party Cookies and Web Beacons
Some of the services we use (such as analytics and advertising providers) may place cookies or web beacons on your device when you use the catalogue. These are subject to the privacy policies of those third parties. We do not control them, and we encourage you to review their policies. We do not allow any third party to collect personal information about you on our site for its own purposes unless you have given your consent.

Service Providers
We may share your information with limited third-party service providers who perform functions on our behalf, such as hosting, analytics, and email delivery. These providers are contractually bound to use your information only as necessary to provide their services and to protect its confidentiality.
Security
We take reasonable measures to protect the information we collect from loss, misuse, and unauthorized access. However, no method of transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
