Cookies
Last updated October 16, 2026
This page lists every cookie and piece of browser storage the store uses. Essential ones keep the store working and are always on. Analytics is optional and stays off unless you say yes.
Essential cookies
These are needed for the store to work, so they can’t be switched off. None of them track you across other websites.
| Name | What it does | How long |
|---|---|---|
| sb-snmpnbhihpopzgytovnw-auth-token | Keeps you signed in to your library and, for the store owner, to admin. Set only when you sign in. | Until you sign out, up to 400 days |
Storage on your device
Your browser also keeps a few small notes for the store. They stay on your device, are never sent to us for tracking, and you can clear them anytime by clearing this site’s data.
| Name | What it does | How long |
|---|---|---|
| abstore.cart.v1 | The books in your cart. | Until you check out or clear it |
| abstore.progress.… | Where you stopped listening to each audiobook chapter, and your playback speed. | Until you clear it |
| abstore.consent | Your cookie choice, so we don’t ask again. | Until you change it or we update this policy |
| abstore.tracked.… | Stops an order being counted twice in analytics. Only with your consent. | Until you clear it |
Analytics cookies (optional)
Only if you choose Accept, we load Google Analytics through Google Tag Manager to count visits, pages and orders. It doesn’t identify you by name, and we don’t use it for advertising: Google’s advertising features are switched off.

Cookies set on other sites
When you pay, you’re taken to Stripe’s secure checkout at checkout.stripe.com. Stripe sets its own cookies there to process the payment and prevent fraud, under Stripe’s cookie policy. We don’t load any Stripe code on this store.
Your choices
- Change your analytics choice anytime with Cookie settings at the bottom of every page. If you turn it off, we remove the analytics cookies from your browser.
- If your browser sends a Global Privacy Control signal, we treat it as “no” to analytics automatically.
- You can also block or delete cookies in your browser’s settings. Blocking essential ones may stop sign-in or the cart from working.
More about how we handle your information is in our Privacy policy.
Changes
If we add or change cookies, we’ll update this page and, for any optional cookie, ask you again.
