Privacy Policy
Plain version: we do not ask you to register and we do not run our own analytics or profiling. Third-party advertising and affiliate partners do set cookies when you load a page or follow a shopping link. This page explains exactly what that means and how to opt out.
Information we collect ourselves
There are no accounts, logins, comments, newsletters or payment forms on this site. We do not ask for your name, email address or postal address, and we do not build advertising profiles of our own.
Like every web server, the IIS server that hosts en.popbook.com records standard request data (IP address, browser and device type, requested page, referring page and time) in access logs. We use those logs for security, troubleshooting and aggregate traffic counts, and they are retained for a limited period by the server operator.
Google AdSense and advertising cookies
We display advertising served by Google AdSense and other third-party ad networks. These providers may use cookies, web beacons and similar technologies to serve ads based on your previous visits to this and other websites, to measure ad performance and to limit how often you see the same ad. Google's use of advertising cookies (including the DoubleClick cookie) enables it and its partners to serve ads to you based on your browsing history.
- You can opt out of personalised advertising at Google Ads Settings.
- You can opt out of third-party vendors' use of cookies at aboutads.info/choices or youronlinechoices.eu (EU).
- You can also block or delete cookies in your browser settings. Blocking cookies will not stop ads appearing, but they may be less relevant.
Google's own privacy policy governs that data: policies.google.com/privacy.
Your consent choices
If you are in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom or Switzerland, advertising and analytics cookies are not set until you agree. We use Google's consent management platform, which shows a message on your first visit explaining what each purpose does and letting you accept, reject or choose per purpose. Your choice is stored by Google and is remembered on later visits.
You can change your mind at any time by clearing this site's cookies in your browser, after which the message appears again. Rejecting personalised advertising does not block ads; it means the ads you see are not selected using your browsing history, which usually makes them less relevant and less valuable to us. Refusing consent never restricts access to any part of this site — every text here is free and requires no sign-up.
For visitors in the United States, the same message supports the opt-out rights created by state privacy laws, including the right to opt out of the "sharing" of personal information for cross-context behavioural advertising.
Amazon and other affiliate links
Some links on this site point to Amazon.com and carry an affiliate tracking tag. If you click one, the retailer may set a cookie to attribute a later purchase to this site, and we may receive a commission. We do not receive your payment details, name, address or order contents, and we cannot identify you from that report. See our Affiliate Disclosure and Amazon's Privacy Notice.
Other links and services
The search box on this site runs entirely in your browser: the index is part of the page you loaded, and your query is never sent to Google or to us. Links to Project Gutenberg, Internet Archive, Standard Ebooks, Open Library and HathiTrust take you to sites with their own policies, which we do not control.
Children's privacy
en.popbook.com is a general-audience reading site and is not directed at children under 13. The "For Young Readers" section lists books suitable for families; it is not a children's service and does not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has submitted personal information to us, write to server@popbook.com and we will remove it.
Your rights
Depending on where you live, you may have the right to access, correct or delete personal data, to object to processing, or to opt out of interest-based advertising. We hold very little personal data ourselves; most requests are best handled through the opt-out links above. We do not sell personal information for money. Under California law, some interest-based advertising may be considered "sharing" — you can opt out through the links above and by contacting us.
Changes and contact
We may update this policy as the site grows or as our partners change. The date below shows the current version. Questions: server@popbook.com.
