This policy explains how Anointed Books uses cookies and similar technologies on anointedbooks.digital, and how you can control them. It should be read alongside our Privacy Policy.
1. What cookies are
A cookie is a small text file placed on your device by a website. Cookies let a site remember things between pages and between visits — that you are signed in, what is in your cart, or what you have already dismissed. Similar technologies include local storage, which stores information in your browser in much the same way.
2. How we use them
We keep this light. The cookies used on this site fall into three groups:
Strictly necessary
These make the site work. They keep your session active while you move between pages, remember items you are purchasing, protect against fraudulent requests, and carry you through the checkout process. The site cannot function properly without them, so they cannot be switched off.
Payment processing
When you make a purchase, Stripe sets cookies to process the transaction securely and to detect fraud. These are set by Stripe under Stripe's own privacy and cookie policies.
Preferences
Where you set a preference — for example dismissing a notice — we may store that locally in your browser so you are not shown the same thing repeatedly.
3. Advertising
We do not use cookies to build advertising profiles, and we do not permit third-party advertising networks to place cookies through this site.
4. Third-party cookies
Some cookies are set by services we rely on rather than by us directly. The main one is Stripe, which handles payment. If we add analytics or other third-party services in future, this policy will be updated to say so before those services are switched on.
5. Managing cookies
You can control cookies through your browser settings — most browsers let you see what is stored, delete it, and block future cookies, either generally or site by site. Look under Settings, then Privacy. You can also browse in a private or incognito window, which discards cookies when you close it.
Blocking strictly necessary cookies will prevent parts of the site from working, including checkout.
6. Do Not Track
Some browsers send a "Do Not Track" signal. There is no agreed standard for how sites should respond to it. Because we do not track visitors across other websites for advertising, our practice is the same whether or not the signal is sent.
7. Changes to this policy
We may update this policy as the site changes. The date at the top of this page shows when it was last revised.
