Cookie Policy

1. What Are Cookies

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device (computer, tablet, or phone) when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work efficiently, provide a better browsing experience, and give site owners useful information.

Some cookies are set by the website you are visiting (first-party cookies), while others are set by external services that appear on the page (third-party cookies). Cookies can last for a single browsing session (session cookies) or persist on your device for a set period of time (persistent cookies).

2. How We Use Cookies

Just Love Publishing keeps cookie usage to a minimum. We do not use Facebook Pixel or any advertising or behavioural retargeting technologies. The cookies and similar storage on our site fall into the following categories:

• Strictly Necessary — essential for the website to function correctly.
• Functional — improve performance by enabling font loading and icon delivery.
• Analytics — help us understand how visitors use our site (Google Analytics 4).
• Third-Party — set by external services when you follow outbound links.

3. Types of Cookies We Use

Strictly Necessary Cookies

These cookies are essential for the site to work properly. They include your cookie consent preferences, which are stored in your browser's localStorage so we remember your choices across visits. If our forms use CSRF tokens, a temporary cookie may be set to protect against cross-site request forgery.

Functional Cookies

We use Google Fonts (served from fonts.googleapis.com and fonts.gstatic.com) to load the web fonts that give our website its distinctive look. Google may set cookies or use cache headers to optimise font delivery. We also use Font Awesome icon fonts, which are self-hosted on our server and do not set any cookies or connect to external services.

Analytics Cookies

We use Google Analytics 4 (provided by Google LLC) to understand how visitors interact with our website — for example, which pages are most popular and how readers find us. Google Analytics sets cookies such as _ga and _ga_TB6SYCJ4PS to distinguish unique users and sessions. The data collected is aggregated and used solely to improve our website and content. IP addresses are anonymised where possible. You can opt out by declining analytics cookies in our consent banner, or by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.

Third-Party Cookies

Our website contains outbound links to Amazon (where you can purchase our books) and BookFunnel (our book distribution partner). When you click these links and visit those sites, they may set their own cookies according to their respective privacy policies. We have no control over cookies set by third-party websites.
