Our Use of Cookies and Similar Technologies
Historical Education Archive respects your privacy. This policy explains how we and, where enabled, our service providers use cookies, web beacons, local storage and similar technologies when you visit our catalogue at toeqa.com.
What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files placed on your device by your web browser. They help us remember your preferences, understand how you interact with our site, and, where you have consented, deliver relevant content. Cookies may be session cookies (which expire when you close your browser) or persistent cookies (which remain for a period set by the cookie’s creator).
Essential Cookies
Certain cookies are strictly necessary for the operation of our catalogue. These enable core functions such as maintaining your session while browsing, remembering your cookie consent choices, and ensuring secure access to our site. These cookies do not require your prior consent because they are essential to provide the service you request. Without them, parts of the site may not function correctly.
Preference Cookies
We may use preference cookies to remember choices you make, such as your preferred text display options or region. These cookies improve your experience by tailoring the site to your personal preferences. They are not strictly essential, but disabling them may limit certain customisation features.
Analytics and Performance Technologies
Where enabled, we use analytics services (such as first-party analytics) to collect aggregated information about how visitors use our catalogue. This includes pages visited, time spent on the site, and interactions with our content. The data is used solely to improve our service and understand general usage patterns. These technologies may use cookies or local storage, and we process this data in a way that does not directly identify you.
Advertising and Marketing Technologies
If advertisements are displayed on our site, we may use Google advertising technologies, including Google AdSense or similar services, to manage and serve relevant ads. These services may place third-party cookies on your device to build a profile of your interests based on your browsing activity across different websites. This enables us to show you ads that may be more relevant to you. We do not control the cookies placed by these third parties. You can manage your preferences for Google’s advertising cookies via the Google Ads Settings page.
Third-Party Cookies
Some pages on our site may embed content from third-party services (such as video players or social media widgets). These third parties may set their own cookies when you interact with the embedded content. We have no control over these cookies, and you should review the privacy policies of those third parties for more information.
Local Storage and Similar Technologies
In addition to cookies, we may use local storage (such as HTML5 localStorage) to store data on your device. This helps us remember your preferences and improve performance. Local storage is similar to cookies but can store larger amounts of data. You can clear local storage through your browser settings.
Your Consent Choices
When you first visit our site, we present a cookie consent notice. For non-essential cookies (preference, analytics, and advertising), we ask for your explicit consent. You can accept or decline these cookies. If you decline, only essential cookies will be used. You can change your preferences at any time by clicking the “Cookie Settings” link in the footer of our site.
Withdrawing Consent
You may withdraw your consent for non-essential cookies at any time. Withdrawing consent will not affect the lawfulness of processing based on consent before its withdrawal. To withdraw consent, adjust your preferences via the Cookie Settings link. Please note that this may affect your browsing experience.
Browser Controls
Most web browsers allow you to manage cookies through their settings. You can typically block or delete cookies, or set your browser to alert you when a cookie is placed. However, if you disable all cookies (including essential ones), some parts of our site may not function properly. For detailed instructions, consult your browser’s help documentation.
Practical Effects of Disabling Storage
If you choose to disable cookies or local storage, you may still browse our public-domain ebook catalogue, but certain features may be unavailable. For example, your reading preferences may not be remembered, and you may see the cookie consent notice on every visit. Essential site functions, such as secure browsing and session management, may also be impaired.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or legal obligations. We encourage you to review this page periodically. Your continued use of the site after changes are posted constitutes your acceptance of the updated policy.
