TheKnownWorldBookshop.com.au ("This Website") uses "cookies" in its operation. Your continued use of this website indicates that you understand, accept and agree to the information on this page. This Website strives to minimise the use of cookies. The WordPress content management system powering the website makes some cookie usage unavoidable, requiring a session cookie to track visitors as they move through pages and posts. The accessibility plugin used on This Website may set a cookie to ensure proper operation. The analytics plugin for visitor statistics may set a cookie to identify visitor behaviour, however, this setting is disabled in the plugin settings. Additionally, visitor IP addresses are anonymized. The hosting company, Hostinger.com, also sets a cookie for a separate analytics program available to client webmasters. When submitting a comment, an optional checkbox sets cookies to allow pre-filling of the commenter name and email address when making subsequent comments. These cookies typically have an expiry of one year. This Website embeds a video hosted by YouTube.com, which may also set one or more cookies. The embedding plugin is configured to minimise these cookies. On entering This Website a consent banner is displayed to allow visitors to accept, reject, or selectively allow categories of non-essential cookies. Browsers usually allow cookies to be blocked via their settings or through the use of a plugin. Consult your browser’s help files for details. Visitors can check what cookies are in use on this website by entering its address at https://www.cookieyes.com/cookie-checker/ and can learn more about cookies at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HTTP_cookie
