Cookie Policy

1. Scope

ShopHenCo Books is operated by ACME Home Services LLC (collectively, “ShopHenCo Books,” “we,” “us,” or “our”). This Cookie Policy applies when you visit ShopHenCoBooks.com (the “Site”). It should be read with our Privacy Policy.

Outside websites, retailers, marketplaces, video platforms, and social networks have their own cookie and privacy practices. This policy does not control technologies used after you leave our Site or interact directly with an outside provider.

2. What Cookies and Similar Technologies Are

Cookies are small text files that a website or service places on your browser or device. Cookies can help a site function, protect forms, remember settings, measure visits, or recognize that a link was used. A cookie may last only for the current browsing session or remain until it expires or is deleted.

We may also use related technologies such as local storage, pixels, tags, scripts, and software development kits. In this policy, we use the word “cookies” to refer to cookies and these similar technologies unless a distinction is necessary.

3. How We Use Cookies

Depending on the Site features you use and the choices you make, cookies may help us:

• Operate, secure, and troubleshoot the Site.
• Process forms and remember cookie-consent choices.
• Understand traffic sources, page visits, and general Site performance.
• Display embedded media, such as a YouTube video player.
• Measure clicks to retailers or other outside destinations.
• Attribute qualifying affiliate purchases to ShopHenCo Books.
• Prevent fraud, abuse, and unauthorized activity.

Where applicable law requires consent, we ask for permission before using nonessential cookies. Strictly necessary cookies may operate without consent because the Site cannot provide certain requested or security-related functions without them.

4. Types of Cookies We May Use

Strictly necessary

These cookies support core functions such as security, network management, forms, fraud prevention, and recording your cookie-banner selection. They cannot generally be disabled through the Site’s cookie controls. You may block them in your browser, but parts of the Site may stop working correctly.

Performance and analytics

These cookies help us understand how visitors find and use the Site, including which pages are viewed and whether technical problems occur. We may use Squarespace analytics and Google Analytics 4 (“GA4”) for aggregated traffic and performance measurement when those services are enabled.

Functionality

These cookies remember basic settings or choices, such as a cookie preference. Disabling them may prevent the Site from remembering your selections.

Advertising and affiliate attribution

These technologies may record that you clicked an affiliate or merchant link and help the merchant credit a qualifying purchase to ShopHenCo Books. A retailer may set its own cookie after you follow the link to its website. We may earn a commission from qualifying purchases at no additional cost to you.

Social media and embedded content

Pages may contain embedded videos, social-media features, or content supplied by another service. That provider may set cookies or receive device and usage information when the content loads or when you play, click, or otherwise interact with it.

5. Providers and Cookie Examples

The following are examples of services and cookies that may appear. This list is not exhaustive, and a provider may add, remove, rename, or change its cookies and retention periods.

The cookies actually present during your visit depend on your device, location, consent selection, the page you view, whether you are signed in to an outside service, and which Site features are active.

6. Managing Your Cookie Choices

Use the Site’s cookie banner

Where the cookie banner offers choices, you can accept, decline, or manage nonessential cookies. Your selection applies to the browser and device you are using. You may need to choose again if you clear cookies, switch browsers or devices, or use private-browsing mode.

Use your browser settings

Most browsers let you view, block, or delete cookies and control how sites use them. The exact steps vary by browser. Blocking all cookies may affect forms, preferences, embedded media, and other Site functions.

Manage Google Analytics

Google provides a Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on. Google also provides privacy and advertising controls through its own account and browser settings.

Manage embedded media

An outside video or social provider may offer its own privacy controls. If you do not want that provider to receive information, do not play or interact with the embedded content and review the provider’s settings.

Some browsers send “Do Not Track” signals, but no uniform standard governs every response. Where applicable law requires recognition of a supported opt-out preference signal, we will treat it as a request for that browser or device as described in our Privacy Policy.

7. Third-Party and Affiliate Links

ShopHenCo Books may link to Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Gumroad, social-media services, or other outside sites. When you click an outside link, that provider may receive information such as the referring page, browser or device data, IP address, and the date and time of the visit. It may also set or read its own cookies under its own policies.

We do not control the cookies, retention practices, consent tools, or privacy settings of outside providers. Review the privacy and cookie policies of any third-party service you use.

8. Cookie Retention

Cookie lifetimes vary. Session cookies generally expire when you close your browser. Persistent cookies remain until their stated expiration date, until the provider deletes them, or until you remove them. Some analytics cookies may remain for up to 24 months, depending on the provider’s configuration. Affiliate attribution windows are set by the merchant and may be shorter.

Providers may change retention periods. Your browser may allow you to review a cookie’s current expiration date and delete it sooner.

9. Privacy Rights and Additional Information

Depending on where you live, you may have rights concerning certain personal information associated with cookies or similar technologies. Our Privacy Policy explains the information we collect, how it may be used or disclosed, and how to submit an access, correction, deletion, or opt-out request when a right applies.

To learn more, read the ShopHenCo Books Privacy Policy.

10. Changes to This Cookie Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy to reflect changes in technology, Site features, providers, law, or our practices. The revised policy will be posted on this page with a new effective date. If a change is material, we may provide additional notice when required by law.
