3. Essential cookies
The only cookie we set is an authentication token that keeps you logged in. Without this cookie, you would need to log in every time you visit. This cookie is strictly necessary for the service to function and cannot be disabled.
4. Affiliate tracking cookies
No affiliate cookies are currently set on Swagman's Shelf. When affiliate programs go live, clicking a purchase link may cause the relevant network (such as Rakuten Advertising for Kobo AU) to set a third-party cookie that tracks the referral and credits any resulting commission. Those cookies are set by the network, not by Swagman's Shelf, and are governed by the network's own privacy policy. Cookies of this kind typically persist for up to 30 days. When tracking is active, you can opt out via Rakuten Advertising's privacy policy.
