The short version

Babe's Bookstore uses cookies and local storage to keep your session, cart and purchases working correctly. We don't use intrusive advertising trackers or sell your data. You can choose to allow only essential cookies or opt in to optional analytics.

What cookies we use

We categorise cookies as essential or optional.

Essential (always on)

  • Session / auth tokens — keep you signed in and let your purchases and wishlist load. Stored in your browser's local storage.
  • Cart & bundle state — remember the books you've added to a bundle as you build it.
  • Reader preferences — remember your text size and reading theme.
  • Cookie consent choice — remember what you selected so we don't ask again.

Optional (off until you accept)

  • Anonymous analytics that help us understand how the library is used, so we can improve it.

How to control cookies

When you first visit, we show a consent banner. Choose Accept all to enable optional analytics, or Essential only to continue without them. You can clear or change your stored choice at any time through your browser settings, or by clearing this site's local storage.

You can also delete cookies via your browser — see the help for Chrome, Firefox, Safari or Edge. Doing so may sign you out and clear in-progress bundles.

Third-party services

Payments are made via M-Pesa (Safaricom STK push) and initiated on Safaricom's platform. Safaricom's privacy policy applies to anything you enter there. We never receive or store payment card details.
