Introduction
How We Use Cookies
This page explains how Bantam Press uses cookies and similar small files when you visit our website. We have tried to write this in plain language — without legal jargon — so that you can make an informed choice about what you are comfortable with.
Cookies are small text files placed on your device by your browser when you visit a website. They help a site remember certain things between visits, or during a single session. Some cookies are needed for the site to work properly; others collect information about how pages are used, or support advertising. You can control most of them.
What We Set
Types of Cookies We Use
Essential Cookies
Always OnThese cookies are necessary for the website to function and cannot be disabled. They do not store personally identifiable information. They include session management, security tokens, and the record of your cookie consent itself.
Examples: cookieConsent (localStorage), session state · Duration: Session or up to 1 year
Analytics Cookies
OptionalThese help us understand how visitors use our site — which pages are read most often, where people arrive from, and how long a typical visit lasts. This information is aggregated and not linked to individual identities. We use it to improve the clarity and usefulness of our pages.
Provider: Google Analytics 4 · Duration: Up to 2 years
Marketing Cookies
OptionalThese cookies are used to show relevant advertising on other platforms and to measure whether that advertising led visitors to our site. They are set by advertising networks we may work with. If you decline them, you may still see adverts from us — they simply won't be tailored to your browsing history.

Preference Cookies
OptionalThese remember choices you have made on the site — such as your preferred language or region — so that they apply automatically on return visits. Without them, some settings may need to be selected again each time.
Examples: Language preference, regional settings · Duration: Up to 1 year
