Cookie policy
Last updated: September 28, 2026
Total Library (totalibrary.com), operated by Elowin Labs LLC, sets one cookie of its own: the one that remembers your answer to the cookie notice. While Analytics is on, Google Analytics sets two more. None for advertising, and Analytics can be switched off in that notice.
What the site keeps in your browser
| Storage | What it holds | Why | Until |
|---|---|---|---|
Cookie tl_consent | Your choice in the cookie notice (Essential is always on; Analytics on or off) | So we do not ask again on every visit | 180 days, or until you clear site data |
Local storage tl-consent | A copy of the same choice | So the page can read it before anything else loads | Until you clear site data |
| Local storage | The pages you bookmark: their addresses and a short excerpt | So the bookmarks page can list them; they are never sent anywhere | You remove them or clear site data |
Cookie _ga (Analytics) | Google Analytics: a random identifier that lets us tell a returning browser from a new one when counting visits. | Counting visits, only while Analytics is on | 2 years |
Cookie _ga_5MLGP54EKS (Analytics) | Google Analytics: keeps the state of the current visit. | Counting visits, only while Analytics is on | 2 years |
| Service worker cache | The site's own files (code, styles, icons) | So the library opens instantly and works offline | Replaced when the site updates, or when you clear site data |
None of these stores contains anything about you as a person, and none is readable by any other site.
Analytics
Plausible sets no cookies; Google Analytics sets the two cookies marked Analytics above, only while Analytics is on. We use two analytics services to learn which pages and features help. Plausible Analytics counts page views and a few coarse events without cookies. Google Analytics 4 measures the same page views and events and sets the two cookies listed above. We run Google Analytics with Google signals and ad personalization turned off and do not use it for advertising. In the EEA, the United Kingdom and Switzerland it runs without cookies until you accept Analytics. Turn Analytics off in the cookie notice and neither service counts your visits: the analytics scripts are not loaded, and the Google Analytics cookies are removed. See the privacy policy for what they record.
Our host
The site is served by Cloudflare. In the normal course of delivering pages Cloudflare sets no cookies for this site. If it needs to challenge traffic that looks automated, it may set a short-lived security cookie for the duration of that check; that cookie carries no personal information and is not used by us.
Third-party cookies
There are none: the Google Analytics cookies above are set on this site's own domain. The site loads no advertising, no embedded social widgets and no third-party scripts other than the two analytics scripts described above.
Your choices
The cookie notice shown on your first visit lets you accept or decline Analytics, and Your privacy choices in the footer of every page reopens those preferences at any time. Bookmarks can be removed one by one on the bookmarks page, and everything the site keeps can be erased at once by clearing site data for totalibrary.com in your browser's settings.
