1. About the policy:

This Cookie Policy explains how J3 Publishing / Books “J3 Publishing”, “we”, “us” or “our”,uses cookies and similar technologies when you visit and use our website and online shop.

It should be read alongside our Privacy Policy, which explains how we collect, use and protect personal information.

What are cookies?:

Cookies are small pieces of information stored on or accessed from your device when you visit a website.

Cookies and similar technologies can help websites operate correctly, maintain security, remember choices and, where applicable, provide information about how a website is being used.

Similar technologies may include local storage, pixels, scripts, tags or other technologies that store information on or access information from your device.

3. How we use cookies:

Our website may use cookies and similar technologies for purposes including:

• operating and securing the website;
• providing essential website and online-shop functions;
• maintaining shopping-basket and checkout functions;
• remembering choices or preferences;
• processing and supporting online transactions;
• understanding website performance and usage, where permitted; and
• providing additional functionality where you have made the appropriate choice or given consent where required.

We do not intentionally use non-essential cookies where consent is legally required unless the appropriate consent has first been obtained.

4. Strictly necessary cookies:

Some cookies and similar technologies are necessary for the website and online shop to function properly.

These may be used for purposes such as:

• website and account security;
• fraud prevention;
• maintaining website sessions;
• remembering items placed in a shopping basket;
• enabling checkout and payment processes; and
• maintaining essential technical functionality.

Where the law permits these technologies to operate without consent because they are strictly necessary to provide a service requested by you, they may be used without prior consent.

5.  Optional and non-essential cookies

The website may also offer optional technologies, such as those used for statistics, preferences or other non-essential functionality.

Where your consent is legally required, these technologies should not be activated until you have made the appropriate choice through the website’s cookie-consent controls.

You may refuse non-essential cookies without preventing access to the basic functions of the website, although some optional features may work differently or become unavailable.

6. Third-parties cookies

Our website and online shop are provided using services supplied by third parties, including IONOS.

Other service providers may also be involved in functions such as payment processing and website functionality.

These providers may use cookies or similar technologies when providing their services.

Where third-party technologies require consent, they should only operate in accordance with the choices you make through the website’s consent controls.

Third-party providers are responsible for their own privacy and cookie practices where they act independently.

7. Payments :

Payments may be processed using third-party payment providers, including PayPal.

Payment providers may use cookies or similar technologies for purposes such as security, fraud prevention, authentication and processing transactions.

Their use of information is also governed by their own privacy and cookie information.

8. Managing your cookie choices:

Where cookie-consent controls are available on our website, you can use them to accept, reject or manage non-essential cookies.

You can also control cookies through your browser settings. Depending on your browser, you may be able to block or delete cookies or restrict particular categories of cookies.

Blocking strictly necessary cookies through your browser may affect the operation of the website or online shop.

9. Changing or withdrawing consent:

Where we rely on your consent for cookies or similar technologies, you can change or withdraw that consent through the available cookie settings.

Withdrawing consent does not make earlier processing unlawful, but technologies relying on that consent should no longer be used for that purpose after consent is withdrawn.

10. Changes to this cookie policy:

We may update this Cookie Policy if our website, online shop, service providers, technologies or legal obligations change.

The latest version will be published on this website and the “Last updated” date will be amended where appropriate.
