cookie Policy

Last updated: May 2026

Like most modern websites, this one uses cookies.

Not the pleasant kind involving butter and questionable quantities of chocolate, unfortunately, but the small text files used by websites to remember things and function properly.

This policy explains what cookies may be used on The Tricky Genre Press website and why.

1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small files stored on your device when you visit a website.

They help websites remember information such as:

  • whether you are logged in;

  • items in a shopping basket;

  • site preferences;

  • anonymous visitor statistics.

Some cookies disappear when you close your browser. Others remain for a period of time.

2. Why This Website Uses Cookies

The Tricky Genre Press uses cookies for a few fairly ordinary reasons:

Essential Website Functions

Some cookies are necessary for the website to operate properly, including:

  • page navigation;

  • secure checkout;

  • payment processing;

  • ebook purchases and downloads.

Without these, the website would become somewhat theoretical.

Analytics and Performance

We may use analytics tools to understand how visitors use the site — for example:

  • which pages are most popular;

  • how readers arrive at the site;

  • whether something on the website is confusing or broken.

This information is generally collected in aggregated and anonymous form.

Squarespace and Payment Services

This website is hosted on Squarespace and uses Squarespace commerce and payment services.

These services may place cookies required for:

  • secure transactions;

  • fraud prevention;

  • shopping cart functionality;

  • site performance.

Additional information may be available through Squarespace's own policies.

3. Managing Cookies

Most web browsers allow you to:

  • view cookies;

  • delete cookies;

  • block cookies entirely;

  • control cookie preferences for individual websites.

You can usually find these settings in your browser's privacy or security options.

Please note that disabling certain cookies may affect how the website functions.

The modern web is, alas, rather dependent on them.

4. Third-Party Cookies

Some third-party services integrated into the site — such as payment providers, embedded content, or analytics services — may also use cookies.

These services operate according to their own privacy and cookie policies.

5. Changes to This Policy

This Cookie Policy may occasionally be updated to reflect technical, legal, or operational changes.

The current version will always appear on this page.
