Draft for review — not published. Written from what the website does today. Each part marked needs the owner's (or a lawyer's) answer; the page can only be published once none are left.
What cookies are
Cookies are small text files that a website saves in your browser. Websites use them to work properly, for example to keep a form secure or to remember a choice you made. Websites can also save information in your browser's own storage ("local storage"), which works in a similar way; this policy covers both.
How this website uses them
This website only uses cookies and browser storage that it needs to work. It does not use analytics, advertising or social-media cookies, and it does not track you across other websites.
Because these cookies are needed for the website to work, the website does not ask for your permission before setting them. The notice you see on your first visit tells you about them; pressing "OK" only hides that notice.
Cookies set by this website
| Cookie | What it does | How long it stays |
|---|---|---|
| libelula-books-session | Keeps your visit working from page to page and protects the forms. For staff who sign in, it also keeps them signed in. | 7 days |
| XSRF-TOKEN | Security: confirms that forms (such as the contact form) are really sent from this website. | 7 days |
| NEXT_LOCALE | Remembers the language you chose, so the website opens in that language next time. Set only when you choose a language. | 1 year |
Staff who sign in to the website's administration area also receive a cookie named admin_device (1 year), which recognises their device. Visitors never receive it.
Information saved in your browser's storage
Some features save information in your browser's storage instead of cookies. It stays on your device and is not sent to us:
- libelula-cart: the books in your shopping basket.
- libelula-cookie-notice: that you closed the cookie notice.
- bella-guide:quiet and bella-guide:voice-off: your choices for Bella, the website guide (for example, if you turned her tips or her voice off).
- bella-guide:session: which of Bella's tips you have already seen in this browser tab. It is deleted when you close the tab.
Video previews
Some video books offer a free preview. When you press play, the preview is shown in the player of our video provider, VdoCipher, which is loaded only at that moment. VdoCipher may use its own cookies or browser storage to play the video securely.
Buying books
When you continue to checkout, you leave this website for the shop of our sales partner FlickRocket, which uses its own cookies under its own policies.
Managing cookies
You can see, block or delete cookies and site data in your browser's settings. If you block or delete the cookies above, some parts of the website may stop working (for example, the contact form may not send) and the website will not remember your language. Deleting the website's site data also empties your basket and resets Bella's settings.
Changes to this policy
If the website starts using other cookies, especially ones that are not needed for it to work, we will update this page first and, where the law requires it, ask for your permission before using them.
