We use cookies, pixels and other technologies (collectively, “cookies”) to recognise your browser or device, keep our platforms working, and provide you with essential features and services — including recognising you when you sign in, keeping track of your preferences, improving our content and services, preventing fraud, improving security, and measuring how our services perform.
Verno’s cookies let you take advantage of essential features. If you block or otherwise reject them, you will not be able to sign in or use any Verno service that requires an account.
We use cookies and similar technologies such as tags and tracking pixels on Verno services and digital platforms — websites, portals and applications — to keep them working, to give you the best experience, and to make sure anything we send you is relevant.
A cookie is a small text file that your browser can store on the device you use to access the internet, letting the browser pass small amounts of information about how a platform is used back to a web server. Other technologies — a pixel, a tag, or analysis of certain characteristics that identify a device — can be used instead. We refer to all of them here as cookies.
The first time you use a Verno platform you are told about our use of cookies and can decide which, if any, of the non-essential cookies to allow. Your choice is recorded against the device you used and kept for a year from the last time you visited, after which we will ask again.
These let you buy ebooks, services and subscriptions on our digital platforms securely, and keep the service stable when traffic is high. They cannot be switched off.
These help us improve the platform by analysing anonymously how our pages perform and how they are used, so we can find the ones that are harder to use than they should be.
These let us show you Verno advertising on other sites and services, based on what you have looked at here, so that the advertising you see is relevant to you.
You have not made a choice yet, so only essential cookies are in use.
Your choice is kept on this browser, so you will be asked again on a different browser or device.
You can decide which cookies to allow, block or delete by following the instructions your browser provides, and you can change your mind with us at any time using the controls above.
Cookies are specific to each browser, so if you use more than one you will need to set your choice in each of them. Rejecting cookies may mean you do not get the best experience of our platforms.
To find out more about cookies in general, including how to see what has been set on a browser and how to manage and delete them, visit allaboutcookies.org.
These are set by Verno itself, and none of them is a cookie — your browser keeps them as site data, which it clears alongside cookies when you clear a site.
