1. Cookies
Cookies are alphanumeric identifiers placed on your device through your web browser. Some cookies allow us to make it easier for you to navigate the Site, while others are used to enable a faster login process or to allow us to track your activities. Session cookies remain on your device only during your session interacting with our Services, while persistent cookies remain on your device after you have closed your browser or powered down the device.
2. Cookie Placement on ThriftBooks Services
ThriftBooks may set cookies on thriftbooks.com, bookclubhub.com, or our other websites or online channels (the "Site"), or any of our other services, applications, or products (collectively with the Site, our "Services"). We may also place cookies in the emails we send to track when the email is opened. The Services and our HTML emails may also contain small transparent images called "web beacons" or "pixels" that provide us with tracking statistics. ThriftBooks uses a variety of cookies on the Services to accomplish different functions:
- Essential cookies are required to enable basic Site functionality. These cookies are necessary for the Site to function and cannot be switched off. They are usually only set in response to actions made by you which amount to a request for services, such as setting your privacy preferences, logging in or filling in forms. You can set your browser to block or alert you about these cookies, but some parts of the site will not then work. These cookies do not store any personally identifiable information.
- Personalization cookies allow the Services to remember choices you make (e.g., your username, language, or regional location) and provide enhanced, more personal features. We use these cookies to monitor and enhance your browsing experience.
- Analytics cookies help ThriftBooks understand how the Site performs, how visitors interact with the Site, and whether there may be technical issues. This storage type usually doesn't collect information that identifies a visitor. If you do not allow these cookies we will not know when you have visited our Site and we will not be able to monitor its performance.
- Marketing cookies are used to deliver advertising that is more relevant to you and your interests. They may also be used to limit the number of times you see an advertisement and measure the effectiveness of advertising campaigns. Advertising networks usually place them on the Site. If you do not allow these cookies, you will experience less targeted advertising.
We use both first party cookies, meaning cookies that originate from ThriftBooks, as well as third party cookies, meaning cookies that originate from a third-party hosting company. We are not responsible for how third-party cookies behave or may change from time to time. Third party cookies and similar technologies are governed by each hosting company's specific privacy notice. You can control how cookies interact with your browser as described in Controlling Cookies below.

4. Controlling Cookie Interactions with Your Device
Our Cookie Preferences bar on the Site that lists the categories of cookies we use and provides you with the option to accept or reject different types of cookies. When you consent to cookies on our cookie consent banner, ThriftBooks may set cookies on the Site in correspondence with your selections. You may adjust your cookie selections at any time by updating your selections on our Cookie Preferences tool. The Site will also display the cookie consent banner to you periodically.
Most web browsers automatically accept cookies. If you prefer, you can edit your browser options to block or disable cookies. You can also adjust your browser settings to notify you when you are sent a cookie. Most browsers offer a Help tool that will tell you how to prevent your computer from accepting new cookies, how to have the browser notify you when you receive a new cookie, or how to disable cookies altogether. You can also install third-party plugins to control cookie behavior.
Note that web beacons and pixels are not stored on your computer in the same way as cookies. If you disable cookies, these technologies may still load, but their functionality will be restricted. If you disable or refuse cookies or block the use of other tracking technologies, you will be able to browse certain areas of the Site, but some features may not function and some or all of our Services may not function properly.
