Cookie Policy

This policy of A Book In Discussion covers storage of information on your device. What are cookies? Cookies are small text files that your browser stores on your device. They allow a site to remember basic preferences and improve your experience. Alongside cookies, modern sites store data in similar technologies such as localStorage and IndexedDB. This policy treats them as one. What we store on your device This site uses only localStorage and Firebase Auth (IndexedDB) — both essential to basic operation. We do not use marketing or advertising cookies, third-party cookies, or analytics tools such as Google Analytics or Meta Pixel. Essential storage we use: • cookie_consent (localStorage) — saves your choice in the cookie banner. Lifetime: until you clear browser storage. • pilegesh:seen-share-welcome (localStorage) — one-time flag for the welcome modal shown to visitors arriving via a share link. Lifetime: until you clear browser storage. • Firebase Auth (IndexedDB) — session token for the signed-in user, managed by Google Firebase. Lifetime: per Firebase policy; refreshed while the user is active. What we do NOT use: No advertising cookies, no third-party analytics cookies, no cross-site tracking. Managing storage You may clear browser storage or block cookies at any time through your browser settings. Blocking storage may break parts of the site — most notably the ability to stay signed in and to remember your cookie-banner choice. Policy updates If we introduce a service in the future that requires additional cookies (for example analytics), we will update this page and request your consent again through the banner.
