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 preferences, understand how you interact with content, and enable certain functions.
How We Use Cookies
Fantasy & Folklore Library uses cookies and similar technologies for the following purposes:
Essential Cookies
These cookies are necessary for the basic operation of the catalogue. They enable core features such as secure access to your reading list, session management, and remembering your cookie consent choice. Without these cookies, parts of the site may not function correctly.
Preference Cookies
Preference cookies allow the site to remember choices you make (such as your preferred text size, display settings, or language) and provide enhanced, more personal features. These are first-party cookies that expire after a short period or when you close your browser, depending on the setting.
Analytics Cookies (Where Enabled)
Where you have consented, we use analytics cookies to collect anonymous information about how visitors use the catalogue. This data helps us understand which pages are most popular, how users navigate the site, and whether any technical issues arise. The information is aggregated and does not identify you personally.
Advertising Cookies (Where Ads Are Displayed)
If advertisements are displayed on certain pages, third-party advertising partners (including Google and its affiliated services) may place cookies on your device. These cookies help deliver ads that are more relevant to you, limit the number of times you see an ad, and measure the effectiveness of advertising campaigns. The use of such cookies is subject to the privacy policies of those third parties.
First-Party and Third-Party Cookies
First-party cookies are set by Fantasy & Folklore Library directly. Third-party cookies are set by domains other than aniwu.com, such as analytics providers or advertising networks. Where third-party cookies are used, we have no direct control over the information collected by those 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 set period or until you manually delete them. The exact duration varies by cookie type and purpose.
Local Storage
In addition to cookies, we may use local storage (such as HTML5 localStorage) to store certain data on your device. This technology is similar to cookies but can store larger amounts of information. Local storage is used only where necessary to improve performance or enable features, such as remembering your reading progress.
Your Choices
Consent and Withdrawal
When you first visit the catalogue, you will be asked to consent to non-essential cookies. You can change your preferences at any time by adjusting the cookie settings available on the site. Withdrawing consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing based on consent before its withdrawal.
Browser Controls
Most web browsers allow you to control cookies through their settings. You can block or delete cookies, and configure your browser to alert you when a cookie is set. Please note that disabling essential cookies may affect the functionality of the catalogue, such as the ability to save your preferences or maintain your session.
Opting Out of Google Advertising
If Google advertising technologies are used, you can opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google's Ads Settings. Additionally, you can use the Network Advertising Initiative opt-out page or the Digital Advertising Alliance opt-out tool.
Practical Effects of Disabling Storage
If you disable cookies or local storage entirely, some features of Fantasy & Folklore Library may not work as intended. For example, you may need to re-enter your preferences each time you visit, and certain interactive elements may be unavailable. Essential functions, such as browsing the catalogue and reading public-domain texts, will remain accessible.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in technology, legislation, or our practices. Any updates will be posted on this page.
