StoryBook uses cookies and similar technologies to provide essential functionality, remember your preferences, and improve your experience on our platform.
We use different types of cookies for various purposes:
Temporary cookies that expire when you close your browser. These are essential for the platform to function.
Cookies that remain on your device for a set period or until you delete them. These help us remember your preferences across sessions.
Cookies set directly by StoryBook to enable platform functionality and remember your preferences.
Cookies set by external services we use (like Google for authentication).
StoryBook uses cookies in the following categories. Essential cookies are necessary for the platform to function and cannot be disabled. Other cookies enhance your experience but are not strictly required.

If you disable essential cookies, you will not be able to use StoryBook. You will be unable to log in, maintain your session, or access protected features.
Disabling functional or analytics cookies will reduce your experience quality (e.g., preferences won't be saved) but won't prevent you from using the platform.
Some browsers offer a "Do Not Track" (DNT) signal. As there is no industry consensus on what DNT means, StoryBook does not currently respond to DNT signals. We only use analytics cookies for essential platform improvements, and this data is anonymized.
By using StoryBook, you consent to our use of essential cookies necessary for the platform to function. These cookies are exempt from consent requirements under UK law because they are strictly necessary for the service you've requested.
For non-essential cookies (functional and analytics), your continued use of StoryBook after being informed of their use constitutes implied consent. You can withdraw consent at any time by adjusting your browser settings, though this may limit platform functionality.
For more information about how we protect your privacy and handle your personal data, please see our Privacy Policy.
