Privacy

No accounts, no advertising, no cookies, and no third-party analytics scripts.

If you choose a preferred bookstore on a book page, that one choice is saved in your own browser (local storage) so the site can show it first. It is never sent to us, and choosing “No preference” removes it.

Usage statistics

To learn which pages are useful, the site counts anonymous events: page views by page type, searches, clicks on source links and clicks on outbound book links. Each event is added to a daily total; we don't keep a log of individual visits. We do not store IP addresses, cookies, device fingerprints or full URLs of the pages you came from. We record only the referring website's domain, for example "google.com".

For searches, we count how many results were returned. If a search finds nothing, we keep the search words so we can add missing books, after removing anything that looks like an email address or a number. These are never published.

If your browser sends Do Not Track or Global Privacy Control, no events are sent at all.

Suggestions and corrections

When you use the suggestion form, we store what you submit so a person can review it. An email address is optional and used only to reply about your submission. To slow down spam, we keep a one-way hash of your IP address for a single day. The hash cannot be reversed to recover the address.

Third parties

Book covers load from Open Library (operated by the Internet Archive), so your browser contacts their servers when you view a page with covers. The site is hosted on Cloudflare Pages, which processes requests as described in Cloudflare's privacy policy. Links to other sites take you to services with their own policies.
