Our Approach to Cookies
Public Domain Literature Library uses cookies and similar storage technologies to support the operation of the catalogue, to remember your preferences, to understand how readers interact with the site, and where applicable to display advertisements. This policy explains what these technologies are, how we use them, and the choices you have.
What Are Cookies
Cookies are small text files stored on your device by your web browser. They help a website remember information about your visit, such as your preferred language or other settings. Cookies may be set by the site itself (first-party cookies) or by third-party services we incorporate (third-party cookies). Some cookies are deleted when you close your browser (session cookies); others remain for a longer period (persistent cookies).
Essential Cookies
Certain cookies are necessary for the catalogue to function correctly. These enable core features such as navigating between pages, remembering your session, and accessing secure areas. Because these cookies are essential, they cannot be disabled through our site. You may block them through your browser settings, but doing so may affect the performance and usability of the catalogue.
Preference and Functional Cookies
We use cookies to remember choices you make, such as your preferred display mode, text size, or region. These cookies improve your experience by tailoring the site to your personal preferences. If you disable these cookies, some features may not work as intended.
Analytics and Performance Cookies
Where enabled, we use analytics cookies to collect information about how visitors use the catalogue — for example, which pages are most frequently viewed, how users navigate the site, and whether any errors occur. This data is aggregated and anonymised, helping us improve the catalogue's content and usability. These cookies are not strictly essential, and you may opt out as described below.
Advertising and Third-Party Cookies
If the catalogue displays advertisements, we may use advertising cookies (including those provided by Google advertising services) to deliver relevant ads, measure their performance, and prevent the same ad from appearing too often. These cookies may track your browsing activity across different websites and build a profile of your interests. Third-party advertisers may also use cookies to tailor ads to you. You can manage your consent for these cookies through the cookie consent tool on the site.
Local Storage and Similar Technologies
In addition to cookies, we may use local storage (such as HTML5 localStorage) to store data on your device for similar purposes, such as caching preferences or enabling offline functionality. These technologies are subject to the same choices as cookies.
Your Consent and Choices
When you first visit the catalogue, a cookie consent banner will ask for your permission to use non-essential cookies. You may accept all, decline all, or customise your preferences. You can change your choices at any time by clicking the “Cookie Preferences” link available in the footer of the site. Withdrawing consent will not affect the lawfulness of processing based on consent before its withdrawal.
Managing Cookies Through Your Browser
Most web browsers allow you to control cookies through their settings. You can usually choose to block all cookies, delete existing cookies, or receive a warning before a cookie is stored. Please note that if you disable all cookies, including essential ones, some parts of the catalogue may not function properly. For detailed instructions, consult your browser’s help documentation.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or for legal reasons. Any changes will be posted on this page. We encourage you to review this policy periodically.

Our Catalogue maintenance uses source records and bibliographic context. Cookies help us maintain a smooth reading experience, remember your preferences across visits, and understand which sections—like Exploration Survival Adventure Tales or Courtship, Marriage & Relationships—are most engaging. This information guides our editorial choices without compromising your privacy.
Third-Party Services and Data Sharing
We may use third-party services for analytics or advertising. These providers have their own privacy and cookie policies. We do not control their data collection practices. Where possible, we select services that respect user consent and anonymise data. You can learn more about these third parties by reviewing their policies directly.
Do Not Track Signals
Some browsers transmit a “Do Not Track” signal. Our site does not currently respond to these signals because there is no uniform standard for interpretation. However, you can manage your cookie preferences through the consent tool or browser settings as described above.
Cookie Duration
Essential and preference cookies may persist for up to one year unless you clear them earlier. Analytics cookies typically expire after a shorter period, ranging from a few minutes to 24 months, depending on the service. Advertising cookies may have variable durations set by third parties.
