Privacy Policy

Last updated: July 23, 2026

ForbiddenBookShop.com does not require an account and does not set any cookies of its own. This policy explains the third-party services this site uses — analytics, advertising, and affiliate links — and how those services may collect data about your visit.

Analytics

This site uses Google Analytics and Ahrefs Analytics to understand which pages are visited and how the site is used. These services may set their own cookies or use similar tracking technology in your browser to distinguish visitors and measure traffic. The data collected is aggregated and is not used by this site to identify you personally.

Advertising

This site shows ads served by Google AdSense. Google and its advertising partners use cookies and similar technologies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this and other websites. You can learn more about how Google uses this data, and manage your ad personalization settings, at policies.google.com/technologies/ads and adssettings.google.com. You can also opt out of interest-based advertising from participating companies through aboutads.info/choices.

Affiliate Links

Many links to booksellers on this site — including Amazon, Bookshop.org, Books-A-Million, and Barnes & Noble — are affiliate links, and some are routed through an affiliate redirect service. These links may set cookies or add tracking parameters so the referring bookseller or affiliate network can credit ForbiddenBookShop.com for a resulting purchase. Clicking one of these links does not cost you anything extra; see our About page for more on how this works.

Children's Privacy

This site is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children.

Third-Party Sites

This site links to booksellers, publishers, and other third-party websites. Those sites have their own privacy policies, and we encourage you to review them — this policy only covers ForbiddenBookShop.com.

Changes to This Policy

This policy may be updated from time to time to reflect changes in the services this site uses. Continued use of the site after an update constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.
