This policy should be read alongside our Privacy Policy, which provides further detail on how we collect, use, and protect your personal data.

What Are Cookies
Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer, tablet, smartphone, or other device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently, to improve the user experience, and to provide information to the website owner.
Cookies can be “persistent” or “session” based. Persistent cookies remain on your device after you close your browser and are used when you return to the Website. Session cookies are temporary and are deleted automatically when you close your browser.
Cookies may be set by the website you are visiting (“first-party cookies”) or by third parties whose services the website uses, such as analytics or advertising providers (“third-party cookies”).
How We Use Cookies
We use cookies for a variety of purposes to ensure our Website functions properly, to enhance your experience, and to help us understand how visitors interact with our content. The specific categories of cookies we use and their purposes are described in the sections below.
We do not use cookies to collect sensitive personal information such as your name, address, or payment details. Where cookies do collect personal data (such as your IP address), that data is processed in accordance with our Privacy Policy.
Strictly Necessary Cookies
These cookies are essential for the Website to function correctly. They enable core features such as page navigation, access to secure areas of the Website, and processing of transactions. Without these cookies, the Website cannot operate as intended.
Strictly necessary cookies include those that maintain your session while you browse the Website, remember items in your shopping basket during your visit, enable secure login to your account, process payments securely through our checkout, and protect against fraudulent activity and unauthorised access.
These cookies do not require your consent under UK data protection law, as they are essential for the provision of the service you have requested. They cannot be disabled without significantly affecting how the Website functions.
Functional Cookies
Functional cookies allow the Website to remember choices you make and provide enhanced, more personalised features. These cookies may remember your login details so you do not need to sign in each time you visit, store your language or regional preferences, remember your cookie consent preferences, retain display settings such as font size or layout preferences, and recall information you have previously entered into forms.
If you disable functional cookies, some features of the Website may not work as intended, and your experience may be less personalised.
Analytics and Performance Cookies
These cookies help us understand how visitors use our Website by collecting information about which pages are visited most often, how long visitors spend on each page, whether visitors encounter any error messages, how visitors navigate through the Website, and which links and content are most popular.
We use this information to improve the performance, content, and design of our Website. All data collected by analytics cookies is aggregated and anonymised, meaning it cannot be used to identify you personally.
We may use the following analytics services:
Google Analytics: We use Google Analytics to track and report on website traffic. Google Analytics uses cookies to collect anonymous data about how visitors use our Website, including the number of visitors, the pages they visit, and the websites they came from. Google’s privacy policy can be found at policies.google.com/privacy. You can opt out of Google Analytics by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.
Marketing and Advertising Cookies
These cookies are used to deliver advertisements and promotional content that is relevant to you and your interests. They may be set by us or by third-party advertising partners and are used to build a profile of your interests based on your browsing activity, limit the number of times you see a particular advertisement, measure the effectiveness of advertising campaigns, and deliver targeted advertising on other websites and social media platforms.
We may use marketing cookies in connection with social media platforms including Facebook, Instagram, and other networks where we promote our books, events, and services. These third parties may combine the information collected through cookies on our Website with other information they hold about you.
Marketing cookies are only placed with your consent. You can manage your preferences at any time using the methods described in the “Managing Your Cookie Preferences” section below.
Social Media Cookies
Our Website may include social media features such as sharing buttons, embedded content, or links to our profiles on platforms including Facebook, Instagram, X (formerly Twitter), YouTube, TikTok, and LinkedIn. These features may set cookies on your device to enable the functionality of the social sharing buttons, track whether you are logged into the relevant social media platform, enable you to share content from our Website on your social media profiles, and allow the social media platform to collect data about your visit for their own purposes.
These cookies are controlled by the respective social media platforms, and we have no direct control over the data they collect. We encourage you to review the cookie and privacy policies of each social media platform you use.
WordPress and WooCommerce Cookies
Our Website is built on WordPress and may use WooCommerce for processing orders. These platforms set their own cookies to enable core functionality:
WordPress cookies: These include session cookies to manage your logged-in state, cookies that remember your comment information if you leave a comment, and cookies that store your preferences for the WordPress interface if you are a registered user.
WooCommerce cookies: These include cookies that track the contents of your shopping basket, cookies that remember your billing and shipping information during checkout, and session cookies that maintain your order state as you proceed through the purchase process.
These cookies are classified as strictly necessary or functional and are essential for the proper operation of our online bookshop and publishing platform.
Cookie Duration
The length of time a cookie remains on your device depends on its type:
Session cookies: These are temporary cookies that are deleted when you close your browser. They are used to maintain your session while you navigate the Website, such as keeping you logged in or retaining items in your basket.
Persistent cookies: These remain on your device for a set period or until you delete them manually. Common durations for persistent cookies on our Website are up to 30 days for login and preference cookies, up to 6 months for functional cookies that remember your settings, up to 13 months for analytics cookies used by services such as Google Analytics, and up to 24 months for consent preference cookies that remember your cookie choices.
You can view and delete cookies stored on your device at any time through your browser settings.
Managing Your Cookie Preferences
You have the right to decide which cookies you accept and which you reject. There are several ways to manage your cookie preferences:
Cookie consent banner: When you first visit our Website, you will be presented with a cookie consent banner that allows you to accept or reject non-essential cookies. You can change your preferences at any time by clicking the cookie settings link in our website footer.
Browser settings: Most web browsers allow you to control cookies through their settings. You can typically set your browser to block all cookies or only third-party cookies, delete cookies that have already been stored on your device, notify you when a website attempts to set a cookie, and accept cookies from specific websites while blocking others.
Please note that blocking or deleting certain cookies may affect the functionality of the Website and your ability to access some features or services.

Do Not Track Signals
Some web browsers include a “Do Not Track” (DNT) feature that signals to websites that you do not wish to have your online activity tracked. There is currently no universally accepted standard for how websites should respond to DNT signals. At present, our Website does not respond to DNT signals, but we respect your right to manage tracking through your cookie preferences and browser settings as described above.
