In short
- This website uses only the cookies and similar technologies that are strictly necessary to show you the pages you ask for and to keep the site secure.
- We do not currently use analytics, advertising, profiling, social-media tracking pixels, or embedded-media cookies.
- Because no non-essential cookies are used, we do not show a cookie consent banner at the moment.
- If we add non-essential technologies in the future, we will update this policy and ask for your consent before they are used.
What cookies and similar technologies are
Cookies are small text files that a website places on your device when you visit. They help the site remember things like whether you are signed in, which page you requested, or how a feature should be displayed. Similar technologies include local storage and session storage, which work in much the same way but live in your browser rather than as separate files.
What this website currently uses
At present, this site only uses technologies that are strictly necessary to deliver and secure the pages you request. These fall into the following broad purposes:
- Page delivery and security: Technologies needed to route you to the right page, protect the site from abuse, and keep your connection secure.
- Interface state: Small amounts of local storage may be used to remember harmless UI preferences, such as whether a sidebar is open or closed, so the page looks right when you return.
We do not currently use analytics cookies, advertising cookies, behaviour-tracking cookies, social-media pixels, or cookies linked to embedded video or audio.
Why no cookie banner appears
Under the UK Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations (PECR), strictly necessary technologies do not require consent. Because we do not currently use any non-essential cookies, there is nothing for you to opt in or out of, so we do not display a cookie banner or preference centre at this time.
External requests
This website loads fonts from Google Fonts (fonts.googleapis.com and fonts.gstatic.com). These are external font requests made by your browser when a page loads. They are not cookies set by Brighttail Studios, but your browser may send standard technical information, such as your IP address, to Google as part of the request. How Google processes that information is described in their privacy policy. For more about how we handle personal data, please see our Privacy Notice.
Third-party links
This site contains links to third-party websites, including Amazon.com, where you can purchase our books. Those sites may set their own cookies or use their own tracking technologies once you leave this site and arrive on theirs. We do not control those cookies, and they are governed by the third party's own cookie and privacy policies. We encourage you to read those policies before you share any personal information.
How to control or delete cookies
You can manage cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers let you view the cookies stored on your device, delete individual cookies, block all cookies, or alert you when a website wants to place a cookie. You can also delete cookies that have already been set.
Please be aware that if you block all cookies, including strictly necessary ones, some parts of this website may not work as intended.
Future changes
If we decide to use analytics, advertising, embedded media, or any other non-essential cookies or similar technologies in the future, we will update this Cookie Policy and ask for your consent before those technologies are activated.
