Other websites
The books of the library come from Google Drive, and payments are made on Stripe's own pages. When you open a book in the reading room, download it or pay, those services may use their own cookies under their own policies. The site's fonts are loaded from Google Fonts.
Statistics
The site keeps its own statistics of the pages that logged-in members open, without extra cookies. What is kept, and for how long, is explained in the Privacy Policy.
Consent
These cookies are strictly necessary or only store your own choices, so under EU rules they need no prior consent. If we ever add other cookies, we will ask you first.
Managing cookies
You can clear or block cookies and browser storage in your browser settings. Without the log-in cookie you cannot stay logged in; otherwise the site keeps working and only forgets your choices.
