Cookie Policy

1. About this policy

This Cookie Policy explains the cookies and similar technologies used on www.myaudioshelf.com. It should be read together with our Privacy Policy.

2. Essential cookies we use

We use one essential session cookie, named session. It is required for the website to work and keeps:

• The audiobooks in your cart.
• Security tokens that protect forms against misuse.
• Your signed-in state when you access your purchased audiobooks or staff tools.

The cookie lasts for the length of your visit, or for up to seven days when you sign in to your listening library. Because it is strictly necessary to provide the service you request, it does not require consent under UK law.

3. Preferences stored in your browser

Your browser’s local storage remembers two choices you make on the website: your light or dark theme, and whether book sounds are switched on. These stay on your device, are not sent to us, and can be cleared at any time in your browser settings.

4. Analytics and marketing

We do not currently use advertising, social media tracking, or third-party analytics cookies. We count page views and audio previews on our own servers without placing cookies.

If we introduce analytics or marketing cookies in the future, we will ask for your consent first and update this policy.

5. Payments

When you check out, you are taken to our payment provider, Stripe, to pay securely. Stripe may set its own cookies on its pages to process payments and prevent fraud. These are governed by Stripe’s own privacy and cookie notices.

6. Managing cookies

You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings. If you block the essential session cookie, your cart, checkout, and listening library will not work.
