A cookie consists of a piece of text sent by a web server to a web browser or ebook reader, and stored by the browser or ebook reader. The information is then sent back to the server each time the browser or ebook reader requests a page or material from the server.

We use both “session” cookies and “persistent” cookies on Bookry.

We use local storage as well as cookie storage to store the cookie identifier.

Session cookies will be deleted from your system when you close your browser or app. Persistent cookies will remain stored on your computer until deleted, or until they reach a specified expiry date.
