Welcome to Booktrovert.com (“Booktrovert”), a website and service owned and operated by NetGalley, LLC (together with its affiliates, “NetGalley,” “we,” “our” or “us”) that offers digital book (eBook) giveaways, special promotions, and bookish activities to readers.
This page explains how we use cookies and the technologies that underpin their collection and usage.
What Are Cookies
This site uses cookies, which are tiny files that are downloaded to your computer, to improve your experience and to enable us to provide our services. Other tracking technologies that may also be used are web beacons, pixel tags, and scripts to collect and track information and to provide, improve, and analyze the Booktrovert site. As we use the terms “cookie” and “cookies” in this Cookie Policy, they also refer to these kinds of tracking technologies.
This policy describes what information we gather with cookies, how we use it and why we sometimes need to store these cookies. We will also share how you can prevent these cookies from being stored, although this may downgrade or limit certain elements of Booktrovert’s functionality.
How We Use Cookies
We use cookies for a variety of reasons detailed below. Please note that you may not be able to disable or block cookies without completely disabling the functionality and features they add to this site. We recommend that you enable all cookies if you are not sure whether you need them or not, in case they are used to provide a feature that you use.
Disabling Cookies
You can prevent the setting of cookies by adjusting the settings on your browser (see your browser Help for how to do this). Be aware that disabling cookies will affect the functionality of the Booktrovert website and many other websites that you visit. For this reason, we recommend that you do not disable cookies.
The Cookies We Set
We use the following categories of “first-party” cookies, which are cookies Booktrovert itself sets:
- Essential cookies - these are cookies that are required for the regular operation of the Booktrovert website. For example, we use cookies when you are signed into Booktrovert so that we can remember this fact. This prevents you from having to sign in every single time you visit a new page. Essential cookies are removed when you sign out of your account or close your browser.
- Functional cookies – these are cookies that improve the experience of the site. For example, if you use the Remember Me checkbox, we use a cookie to remember that you are signed in even if you have closed your browser since your last visit. Functional cookies remain in your browser until they expire (after one year) or you manually delete them.
Third Party Cookies
In some special cases we also use cookies provided by trusted third parties. The following details which third party cookies you might encounter through this site:
- This site uses Google Tag Manager and Google Analytics which are two of the most widespread and trusted analytics solutions on the web for helping us to understand how you use the site and ways that we can improve your experience. These cookies may track things such as how long you spend on the site and the pages that you visit. We also use the Reddit pixel, a marketing tool managed through Google Tag Manager (GTM), to track user behavior and measure campaign performance. For more information on Google Tag Manager or Google Analytics cookies, see the section of our privacy policy about Google Analytics and Google Tag Manager, and the official Google website.
- Booktrovert provides Buy and Pre-Order links to several retailer sites (such as Amazon, B&N, Bookshop.org, or others) allowing users to easily purchase a book. Affiliate tracking cookies allow our affiliate partners to see if users have come to their sites through Booktrovert.
- We may also use social media buttons and/or plugins on this site that allow you to connect with your social network in various ways. If you connect to a social media site (such as Kobo, Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, X (formerly Twitter), etc .) through Booktrovert, these social media sites will set cookies through our site. These cookies may be used to enhance your profile on their site or contribute to the data they hold for various purposes outlined in their respective privacy policies. For more detail on the information we may collect from social media sites, please see the section of our privacy policy about the use of social media platforms.
