Information We Collect

When you visit the Historical Economics Library at oveir.com, our servers automatically record routine technical information: your IP address, browser type and version, operating system, referring page, and the date and time of each request. This data is used to maintain the site's stability, diagnose technical issues, and compile anonymous aggregate statistics about general usage patterns.

Information You Provide Voluntarily

If you send a message to our editorial team (for example, to report a correction or suggest a title), we receive the content of your message and the email address you provide. We use this information solely to respond to your inquiry and do not add it to any marketing list.

Site Preferences

Certain features, such as text-size adjustments or preferred reading modes, may be stored locally on your device. This information stays on your device unless you choose to share it with us through a feedback mechanism.

Cookies and Similar Technologies

Essential Cookies

We may set a small cookie to remember your preference for a particular display style or to maintain session continuity while browsing. These cookies are strictly necessary for the functioning of the site and do not track you across other websites.

Analytics Cookies (where enabled)

We may use a privacy-respecting analytics service to collect non-identifying information about how visitors interact with the catalogue, such as which pages are most frequently viewed and how users navigate between sections. This service may set its own cookies. The data is aggregated and used only to improve the site's structure and content.

Advertising Cookies (where displayed)

If you see advertisements on the site, those advertisements may be served by third-party advertising networks. These networks may use cookies, web beacons, or similar technologies to deliver ads relevant to your interests, to measure the effectiveness of campaigns, and to prevent the same ad from appearing too often. The information collected may include your IP address, browser details, and browsing activity across different sites over time. We do not control these third-party cookies, and their use is subject to the privacy policies of the respective advertising networks.

Google Advertising Services

Where Google advertising services are displayed, Google may use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this site or other websites. You can learn about Google's advertising practices and opt out of certain types of interest-based advertising by visiting Google's Ads Settings page. Google also provides a browser add-on that allows you to opt out of Google Analytics tracking across all websites.

Web Beacons

Emails we send (if any) may contain a small, invisible image (a web beacon) that tells us whether the email was opened and whether links were clicked. This helps us understand which communications are useful. You can disable image loading in your email client to prevent this.

Purposes of Processing

We process the information described above for the following purposes:

• To operate, maintain, and improve the website and its features.
• To respond to your inquiries and provide support.
• To generate anonymous, aggregated statistics about site usage.
• To display relevant advertisements where applicable.
• To detect, prevent, and address technical issues or misuse.

Service Providers

We may engage limited third-party service providers (such as hosting companies, analytics providers, and advertising networks) who have access to your information only to perform specific tasks on our behalf. They are contractually bound to protect your information and may not use it for any other purpose.

Data Security

We implement reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect your information against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. However, no method of transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Data Retention

We retain server logs for a limited period necessary for operational purposes, after which they are deleted or anonymized. Voluntary correspondence is retained only as long as needed to address your request and for a reasonable period thereafter for record-keeping. Aggregated analytics data may be retained indefinitely in anonymized form.
