Website analytics & privacy

Updated October 25, 2026.

Optional analytics

With your permission, Brandon Sinclair Books records page paths, approximate city/state/country supplied by our hosting network, device category, referring website hostname, campaign labels, book views, sample opens, scroll milestones, link clicks, and form success or failure. We use this to improve the bookstore and understand which marketing brings interest. Analytics does not copy names, email addresses, phone numbers, form text, photos, payment details, or full referring URLs. Our analytics database does not store IP addresses.

A random session identifier is held in your browser tab’s session storage. Your choice is saved on your device. Analytics records are retained for 90 days. Session counts are estimates rather than counts of unique people. Do Not Track and Global Privacy Control signals disable analytics.

Checkout and other websites

When analytics is allowed, Shopify cart links carry the random book-site session, traffic source, and campaign as order attributes. This can connect a completed order with the referring book-site activity. Shopify and Amazon process purchases under their own policies. A click to either service does not establish that a purchase took place. No advertising or retargeting pixels are currently installed.

Forms and contact information

Reader-club signups store your supplied email, optional name, selected reading interests, and consent record to send requested book updates. Sponsorship and book-request forms store the information and uploads you submit for review and follow-up, under the terms displayed on each form. These operational records are separate from optional analytics. Marketing signup is optional, and sponsorship or donation inquiries do not automatically subscribe you.

Your choices

You can decline analytics or change your choice below. Declining stops new analytics and clears the tab’s tracking session. Previously recorded events expire after the retention period. Contact Brandon@BrandonSinclairBooks.com for privacy requests, reader preferences, or deletion of submitted contact information.
