The e.Lib’s Cookie Policy

To make this site work properly, we sometimes place small data files called cookies on your device. Most big websites do this, too. We may use cookies, “clear GIFs” (Graphics Interchange Format files), web beacons, pixel tags, or similar technologies to analyze and improve your use of our Services.

What are cookies?
A cookie is a small text file that a website saves on your computer or mobile device when you visit the site. It enables the website to remember your actions and preferences (such as login, language, font size and other display preferences) over a period of time, so you don’t have to keep re-entering them whenever you come back to the site or browse from one page to another.

How do we use cookies?

Examples of cookies used by The e.Lib are described below. For information about how to manage these cookies, please see the Controlling Cookies section below.

  • Strictly Necessary Cookies

Strictly necessary cookies support the proper operation of our Services. Examples of the strictly necessary cookies used by The e.Lib include:

    • load balancing cookies that distribute user access across multiple servers. These cookies help ensure that individual servers do not become overloaded and unresponsive to user request; and
    • session ID cookies to streamline communication with your browser.
  • Functional Cookies

Functional cookies make our Services more personalized and easier to use. Examples of functional cookies used by The e.Lib include:

  • Performance Measurement Cookies

The e.Lib may also use cookies to collect information to help understand the performance of our Services, such as aggregated numbers of unique visitors, most popular pages, and which web browsers are used. These types of cookies are sometimes referred to as analytics cookies. This website uses third party analytics services, which may include Google Analytics, to collect information for this purpose. The third party analytics providers we use may also receive some information about how you use the website through cookies we deploy.

  • Third Party Cookies and Advertising

We may allow third parties to collect or receive information about your use of our Services, including through the use of cookies, web beacons and similar technologies, and this information may be collected over time and combined with information collected on different websites and online services. These third parties may use information about your activities on our Services and other websites and combine that information with other information to make predictions about your characteristics, interests, or preferences and to serve advertisements on our behalf or on behalf of Participating Services across the Internet. Some of these third parties may be participants in the Network Advertising Initiative or the Self-Regulatory Program for Online Behavioral Advertising.
