How This Archive Uses Cookies
This page explains how the Travel & Geography Archive (eukes.com) uses cookies and similar storage technologies. We believe in straightforward explanations so you can make informed choices about your reading experience.
What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files stored on your device by your web browser. They help a site remember information about your visit, such as language preferences or whether you have seen a notice. Other technologies such as local storage and session storage work similarly but may store data differently.
Categories of Storage We Use
Essential Storage
Certain cookies are necessary for the catalogue to function. They enable basic operations such as keeping you securely logged in (if you choose to create an account), remembering what is in your reading list, and maintaining the technical stability of the site. These are typically first-party cookies and are set only by this archive. Because they are essential, they are not subject to your consent; however, you may block them through your browser settings, which may cause parts of the site to stop working.
Preference Storage
We may store your preferences, such as your chosen display language, font size, or whether you have dismissed a notice. This storage is typically persistent but does not track your behaviour across other sites. Where we use it, it is to improve your convenience.
Analytics Storage (Where Enabled)
If analytics are enabled, we may use a first-party analytics tool to collect anonymous, aggregated data about how visitors use the catalogue — for example, which ebook pages are most frequently accessed and whether any technical errors occur. This helps us understand which works and commentary are most valued by readers. The data is not shared with third parties and is not used to build profiles of individual visitors. You may opt out of analytics storage using the consent controls described below.
Advertising Storage (Where Ads Are Displayed)
Some pages may display advertisements provided by Google. Where ads are shown, Google may use cookies and other technologies (such as the Google Advertising Products and the DoubleClick cookie) to serve ads based on your visits to this and other websites. These are third-party cookies and are subject to Google’s own privacy policies. This archive does not control which specific ads are shown or how Google uses the data it collects. You can manage your preferences for Google’s ad personalisation at adssettings.google.com.
Session and Persistent Storage
Some storage is session-only: it lasts until you close your browser and then disappears. Other storage is persistent: it remains on your device for a period set by the technology (which may vary) or until you manually delete it. We do not set fixed durations for persistent storage beyond what the technology itself defines.
Your Choices
Consent Controls
Where we use optional cookies (analytics and advertising), we will ask for your consent before setting them. You may withdraw your consent at any time by adjusting the controls available on this site. A link to manage your preferences is typically found in the footer or via a privacy settings icon. Withdrawing consent will not affect the lawfulness of processing based on consent before its withdrawal.
Browser Controls
Most browsers allow you to view, block, or delete cookies and other site data. You can usually find these settings in the privacy or security section of your browser’s preferences. Please note that if you disable all cookies, essential functions of this catalogue may not work correctly, and you may not be able to use certain features such as saving your reading progress.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time. When we do, we will revise the notice on this page. We encourage you to check back occasionally so that you remain informed about how we use storage technologies.
