How This Catalogue Uses Storage Technologies
This page explains what cookies and similar local storage technologies are used when you visit the Public Domain Literature Library at ierem.com, what they do and how you can control them. We keep this description as straightforward as possible.
Essential Storage
Some storage is strictly necessary for the catalogue to function. This includes small data placed on your device to remember your session, to keep your selections while you browse between pages and to maintain security. Without these, basic operations such as navigating between catalogue entries or saving your reading preferences would not work. Essential storage is always active and does not require your prior consent.
Preference Storage
Where you choose to adjust display settings — for example, switching between a light and dark reading view, or changing the text size — a cookie or local storage item may remember that choice so it persists when you return. These are first-party preference cookies. They are not essential, but they improve your experience. You can withdraw this permission at any time by clearing your browser data for this site.
Analytics Storage
Where enabled, we may use a privacy-respecting analytics service to count visits, see which catalogue pages are most viewed and understand general browsing patterns. This helps us decide which editions to add or improve. Analytics storage does not identify you personally; it collects aggregated data only. If you prefer not to contribute to these anonymous measurements, you can disable analytics cookies through your browser settings or via any consent tool presented on the site.
Advertising Storage
Some pages of the catalogue may display advertisements. Where ads are shown, third-party advertising technologies — including Google advertising services — may place cookies on your device to tailor the ads you see, to limit how often you see the same ad and to measure ad effectiveness. These cookies may track your visits across different websites. We do not control which specific cookies are set by ad providers. Your options for managing advertising cookies include adjusting your browser settings, visiting the Network Advertising Initiative opt-out page and using Google’s Ads Settings.
First-Party and Third-Party Cookies
First-party cookies are set by ierem.com directly. Third-party cookies are set by services we incorporate, such as analytics providers or advertising networks. The presence of third-party cookies depends on whether you have consented to the relevant category and on the specific services active at the time of your visit.
Session and Persistent Storage
Session storage lasts only until you close your browser. Persistent storage remains on your device for a longer period, though the exact duration varies by cookie and your browser settings. You can inspect and delete individual cookies through your browser’s developer tools or privacy settings.
Local Storage
In addition to cookies, this site may use HTML5 local storage for certain features, such as remembering your place in a long reading session or storing interface preferences. Local storage is not sent to our server automatically and can be cleared via your browser settings.
Your Choices
You have several ways to control storage on this site:
- Browser settings: Most browsers allow you to view, block or delete cookies and local storage on a per-site basis. Instructions are typically found in the browser’s help menu.
- Consent tools: Where a cookie consent banner or panel is presented, you can accept or reject categories of storage (except essential) at any time.
- Withdrawal of consent: If you previously consented to analytics or advertising storage, you can withdraw that consent by clearing your cookies for this domain or by using the consent settings link provided on the site.
Disabling certain cookies or local storage may affect the functionality of the catalogue. For example, you might need to re-enter preferences or see less relevant advertisements.
Changes to This Policy
We may revise this Cookie Policy from time to time. Any changes will be reflected on this page. We encourage you to review it periodically.
