Cookie Policy
What are cookies?
A cookie is a small file which is placed on your computer's hard drive when you visit a website. They are widely used in order to make websites work, or work more efficiently, as well as to provide information to the site owners, such as which pages you find useful or not. A web browser normally deletes session cookies when it quits. A cookie does not give us access to your computer or any information about you, other than the data you choose to share with us. Cookies are used on this site to maintain functionality as you move between pages.
How we use cookies
Reuben Digital's websites use first-party cookies, which allow us to distinguish you from other users. They maintain functionality as you move between pages and help us to improve our sites. We also use some widely-used third-party social media plugins as marketing tools, and to provide convenience tools for our visitors, which create cookies.
Can I control my cookie preferences?
There are different types of cookies on our sites. Some of these, used for marketing purposes or to enable third-party plug-ins, are optional. Others are necessary for the functioning of the sites, and as such you can’t turn these off – however, these do not collect personal information about you. You can review your cookie preferences using the links at the bottom of each of our sites.
Please note, if you choose to have your browsers refuse cookies completely by changing your browser settings (rather than those on our sites), this may prevent you from taking full advantage of our sites.
The types of cookie we collect are as follows:
STRICTLY NECESSARY
These cookies cannot be turned off as they are required in order for our website to work.
FUNCTIONAL
These cookies are used to remember information that changes the way the website looks or behaves, such as our bookshop search map, the Hidden Books Game, and your cookie settings. Because of this, these cookies cannot be turned off.
ANALYTICS
These cookies help us improve our website performance by collecting and reporting on anonymous information about how visitors use it, such as which pages are most visited and how users move around the website.
MARKETING
These cookies are used to help us decide which National Book Tokens products and information are most relevant to you. We use this information to tailor our marketing and ads on websites and platforms, such as on mobile or social media.

| Google Analytics | In addition to data collected through standard Google Analytics, we might also enable data collection for additional features like cross-device audiences and insights. Google Analytics will collect visitation information and associate it with Google information from accounts of signed-in users who have consented to this association for the purpose of ads personalisation. This Google information may include end-user location, search history, YouTube history and data from sites that partner with Google – and is used to provide aggregated and anonymised insights into users' cross-device behaviours. | MARKETING | Find more details on the cookies set by Google Analytics: Google Code Read an overview of Google’s Privacy Policy |
