Other Tracking Technologies

Web Beacons (Tracking Pixels)

We may use web beacons (also known as tracking pixels or clear GIFs) on our website and in our emails. These are tiny graphics with a unique identifier that are used to track online movements and email opens.

Unlike cookies, which are stored on your device, web beacons are embedded invisibly on web pages or in emails.

  • Measure the effectiveness of marketing campaigns
  • Count website visits


Local Storage

We may use local storage technologies such as:

These technologies allow us to store larger amounts of data and improve website performance.

 

Accessibility Preferences (Ally Plugin)

We use browser local storage to remember your accessibility preferences when you use our accessibility toolbar (powered by Ally). This includes:

    • Font size adjustments
    • Contrast settings
    • Reading mode preferences
    • Toolbar customization


This data is stored locally on your device and is not transmitted to our servers. You can clear these preferences at any time through the accessibility toolbar reset option or by clearing your browser’s local storage.


Third-Party Cookies

Some cookies on our website are set by third-party services. We have no control over these cookies, and you should review the privacy policies of these third parties for information on how they use cookies.

  • Google (Analytics, Ads, Site Kit)
  • Pinterest (Pinterest Tag)
  • Automattic (Jetpack)

  • Ally (Accessibility enhancement)

  • Printful (Order fulfillment – if integrated)
  • Payment processors (Stripe, etc.)
  • External book retailers (Amazon, books.by) – only when you navigate to their sites

 

Note on External Book Retailers: When you click links to purchase our books through Amazon or books.by, you will leave our website and be subject to those platforms’ cookie policies. We do not control cookies set by these third-party retailers.

 

We may use tracking parameters in these links to measure which platform referrals result in sales, but this does not collect additional personal information beyond what is already described in this policy.
