Cookie Policy

Last updated: June 28, 2026

Welcome to Blossom Reads! Our Cookie Policy explains how we, Blossom Reads, along with our affiliates and subsidiaries, use cookies and similar technologies to recognise you when you visit our websites, including without limitation https://blossomreads.com and its regional variations. It explains what these technologies are and why we use them, as well as your rights to control our use of them.

What are cookies?

Cookies are small data files placed on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. Cookies are widely used by website owners to make their websites work, or to work more efficiently, as well as to provide reporting information.

Cookies set by the website owner (in this case, Blossom Reads) are called "first party cookies." Cookies set by parties other than the website owner are called "third party cookies." Third party cookies enable third party features or functionality to be provided on or through the website (e.g., advertising, interactive content, and analytics).

Why do we use cookies?

We use first party and third party cookies for several reasons. Some cookies are required for technical reasons in order for our websites and services to operate, and we refer to these as "essential" or "strictly necessary" cookies. Other cookies enable us to track and target the interests of our users to enhance the experience on our websites. Third parties serve cookies through our websites for advertising, analytics, and other purposes.

Types of cookies we use

  • Strictly Necessary Cookies: These cookies are essential to provide you with services available through our websites and to use some of its features, such as access to secure areas.
  • Performance and Functionality Cookies: These cookies are used to enhance the performance and functionality of our websites but are non-essential to their use.
  • Analytics and Customisation Cookies: These cookies collect information that is used either in aggregate form to help us understand how our websites are being used or how effective our marketing campaigns are.
  • Advertising Cookies: These cookies are used to make advertising messages more relevant to you.

How can I control cookies?

When you first visit from the EU, EEA or UK, a banner asks whether you want to allow analytics and advertising cookies. Nothing in those two groups runs until you choose. You can change your mind at any time using the "Cookies Preferences" link in our footer. Strictly necessary cookies keep the site working and cannot be switched off.

You can also block or delete cookies through your browser settings, though some parts of the site may not work as well if you do.

Who sets cookies through our site

Alongside our own essential cookies, we use a small set of trusted services, and only with your consent where it is required:

  • Analytics: Google Analytics, Microsoft Clarity and Mixpanel, to understand how the site is used and make it better.
  • Advertising: Google Ads, Meta (Facebook), Microsoft Advertising and TikTok, to show our books to families and measure whether our ads worked.

Changes to the Cookie Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy to reflect changes to our information practices. If we make any material changes, we will notify you by email or by means of a notice on our website prior to the change becoming effective.

For more information about our privacy practices, if you have questions, or if you would like to make a complaint, please contact us by e-mail at support@blossomreads.com.
