Our approach to cookies and similar technologies
Fantasy & Folklore Library is an independent catalogue of public-domain literature. This page explains how we and, where applicable, third parties may store and access information on your device when you visit buqci.com. We are committed to transparency about the technologies we use and the choices available to you.
What are cookies?
A cookie is a small text file placed on your device by a website. Cookies may be session cookies, which expire when you close your browser, or persistent cookies, which remain until they expire or you delete them. We may also use local storage, which functions similarly but can hold larger amounts of data and is not automatically cleared when you close your browser. These technologies help us remember your preferences, understand how the site is used, and enable certain features.
Categories of storage we use
Essential cookies
These are necessary for the catalogue to function. They enable basic navigation, maintain your session, and remember your preferences for the current visit, such as which books you have viewed or which display settings you have chosen. Without these cookies, some parts of the site may not work as intended. Essential cookies are always active and do not require your consent.
Preference cookies
Where enabled, preference cookies remember choices you make—such as text size, display mode (for example, night mode or a larger font), or language—so you do not have to set them again on subsequent visits. These cookies improve your experience by tailoring the site to your personal preferences.
Analytics cookies
If analytics are enabled, we may use first-party cookies to collect anonymous information about how visitors use the catalogue, such as which pages are viewed most often, how long visitors stay, and what links they click. This helps us understand reader interests and improve the site. No personal data is collected through these cookies, and the data is aggregated so that individual users cannot be identified.
Advertising cookies
On pages where advertisements are displayed, we may use Google advertising technologies, including cookies, to deliver relevant ads and measure their performance. These cookies may be set by Google or its partners and may track your browsing across websites to build a profile of your interests. Where advertising cookies are used, you will be given a choice to accept or decline them. Declining will not affect your ability to use the catalogue, but you may see less relevant advertisements.
Third-party cookies
Some content or services embedded on the catalogue—such as videos, social sharing buttons, or maps—may set their own cookies. These third parties operate under their own privacy and cookie policies, which we encourage you to review. We do not control these cookies, and their use is subject to the policies of the respective providers.
Your choices and consent
When you first visit buqci.com, you may see a cookie notice that allows you to accept or decline non-essential categories. Essential cookies cannot be declined because they are required for the site to work. You can withdraw or change your consent at any time by adjusting your preferences through the cookie settings link available on the site. If you decline certain cookies, some features may be limited, but you will still be able to browse and read the catalogue.
Browser controls
Most browsers allow you to view, delete, or block cookies and local storage. You can also configure your browser to notify you before a cookie is set. The help function of your browser should explain how to do this. Please note that disabling all storage may affect the functionality of the catalogue, including the ability to log in or save preferences.
Changes to this policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page. We encourage you to review it periodically to stay informed about how we use cookies and similar technologies.
More about our practices
We believe in clear communication about data practices. For example, when you read a work like The Arabian Nights, Volume I of IV or Fairy tales from South Africa, we may use essential cookies to keep your place or remember your preferred text size. Preference cookies can store your choice of a larger font for easier reading of older texts. Analytics help us see which categories—such as Fantasy Classics or Myths Legends—are most popular, so we can focus our efforts accordingly.
If you have questions about any specific cookie or storage technology used on the catalogue, you are welcome to contact our editor at [email protected]. We will do our best to provide clear answers.
