Cookie Notice

This Cookie Notice explains how Author's Republic, Inc. (“Author’s Republic”, "we", “us” or "our") uses cookies and similar technologies in connection with the https://www.authorsrepublic.com/ website and any other website that we own or control and which posts or links to this Cookie Notice (collectively, the “Sites”).

For more information about how we collect, use and share your personal data, see our Privacy Policy

Our Service uses cookies, in combination with other tracking technologies (collectively, “cookies” unless otherwise noted) to distinguish you from other users of the Service.

You do not need to allow cookies to visit most of the Service. However, enabling cookies may allow for a more tailored browsing experience and is required for certain parts of the Service to work. In the majority of cases, a cookie does not provide us with any of your personal data.

If you are looking to manage your cookie preferences for a Service, you can do so by using our Cookie Preferences, which you can access by clicking the bottom right cookie button.   

  1. What are cookies?
  2. Cookies are small data files containing a unique identifier that are placed on your computer or mobile device when you visit a Service. Cookies and similar technologies (which include pixels, tags, web beacons and software development kits (“SDKs”) and local browser storage technologies) (together “cookies”) enable operators of website/apps to recognize your device and collect information from it when you interact with them. They use this information to understand how the website is being used, letting you navigate between pages efficiently, remembering your preferences and generally improving your browsing experience. Cookies are also used to make the advertising you see online more relevant to your interests. Our Sites may use both session cookies (which expire once you close your web browser) and persistent cookies (which stay on your computer or mobile device until you delete them). 

  3. Who places cookies on your device?
  4. When you visit our Service, both first-party cookies and third-party cookies may be placed on your device:

    (1)         first party cookies, served directly by us to your computer or mobile device, which we use to recognize your computer or mobile device when it revisits our Service; and 

    (2)         third party cookies, which are served by service providers or business partners on our Service, and can be used by these parties to recognize your computer or mobile device when it visits other websites. Third party cookies can be used for a variety of purposes, including service analytics, advertising, and social media features. We do not control how these third parties use your information, which is subject to their own privacy policies. 

  5. What types of cookies and similar tracking technologies are used on the Service and why?
  6. Cookies 

    The cookies used on our Service are categorized as follows:

    Strictly Necessary cookies are necessary for the Service to function and cannot be switched off in our systems. 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, or filling in forms. You can set your browser to block or alert you about these cookies, but some parts of the Service will not then work. In particular, we use these Strictly Necessary cookies to remember your privacy choices and for security purposes. If you prevent these cookies, we cannot guarantee how the Service or the security on the Service will perform during your visit.

    Functional cookies enable us to provide you with enhanced functionality and personalization. These cookies may be set by third party providers whose services we have added to our pages. If you do not add these cookies, then some of these services may not function properly.

    Performance/Analytics cookies collect information about how you use our Service (e.g., which pages you visit and if you experience any errors). These cookies are used to help us improve how our Service works, understand what interests our users and measure how effective our content is. Some of our performance/analytics cookies are managed for us by third parties. 

    Targeting cookies record your visit to our Service, the pages you have visited and the links you have followed. We or third-party providers may use this information to personalize the content you see on the internet. Our advertising third party providers may use this information to build a profile of your interests and show you relevant adverts on other sites. If you do not allow these cookies, you will experience less targeted advertising.

  7. Your choices
  8. Your options for controlling what information cookies and similar technologies collect about you include:

    • Blocking cookies in your browser. Most browsers let you remove or reject cookies. To do this, follow the instructions in your browser settings. Many browsers accept cookies by default until you change your settings. Please note that if you set your browser to disable cookies, the Sites may not work properly. For more information about cookies, including how to see what cookies have been set on your device and how to manage and delete them, visit www.allaboutcookies.org. If you do not accept our cookies, you may experience some inconvenience in your use of our Sites. For example, we may not be able to recognize your computer or mobile device and you may need to log in every time you visit our Sites.
    • Blocking images/clear gifs: Most browsers and devices allow you to configure your device to prevent images from loading. To do this, follow the instructions in your particular browser or device settings.
    • Third-party opt-out option. You can opt-out of interest-based advertising through some of the third parties listed in the chart above by using the corresponding third-party opt-out tool provided in the chart. 
    • Industry association opt-outs.  You may opt out of receiving interest-based advertising on websites through members of the Network Advertising Initiative by clicking here or the Digital Advertising Alliance by clicking here. Please note that we also may work with companies that offer their own opt-out mechanisms and may not participate in the opt-out mechanisms linked above.
    • Blocking advertising ID use in your mobile settings. Your mobile device settings may provide functionality to limit use of the advertising ID associated with your mobile device for interest-based advertising purposes.

    For more information about cookies, including how to see what cookies have been set on your computer or mobile device and how to manage and delete them, visit www.allaboutcookies.org. If you do not accept our cookies, you may experience some inconvenience in your use of our Sites. For example, we may not be able to recognize your computer or mobile device and you may need to log in every time you visit our Sites.

    If you choose to opt-out of targeted advertisements, you will still see advertisements online, but they may not be relevant to you. Even if you do choose to opt out, not all companies that serve online behavioral advertising are included in this list, and so you may still receive some cookies and tailored advertisements from companies that are not listed.

    For more information about how we collect, use and share your information, see our Privacy Policy.
