Cookies Policy
Cookies are tiny, non-malicious text files that are downloaded to a device when certain web pages are visited. On each subsequent visit to a website, cookies are then sent back to the originating website, or to another website that recognises that cookie. Cookies are useful because they allow a website to recognise a user’s device and therefore make the browsing experience more efficient.
We, the International ISBN Agency (IIA), use two different types of cookies on our websites (www.isbn-international.org and www.grp.isbn-international.org): Technical Cookies and Analytical Cookies. Some of the cookies that we use last a very short time and others are more persistent. The first time you visit our site, we will ask for your consent to set our technical and analytical cookies on your device for the purposes specified below.
We do not use marketing cookies on any of our sites.
Technical cookies
Technical cookies are essential in allowing our sites to function correctly so that we can provide the services that are offered to and requested by a user. They are useful in that they enable us to remember information about you so that you don’t have to keep giving it to us again and again.
You can refuse technical cookies by changing the cookie settings in your browser and blocking cookies from a specific site. If you do so, you will still be able to navigate the public parts of our site, but, if you are a registered user, you will not be able to log in using your account and will not have access to any of the private areas of the site. This may mean, for example, that on our Global Register of Publishers you can only carry out simple searches that yield limited details and cannot access the “Advanced Search” areas.

Analytical cookies
These are used to collect information about how visitors use our site, including their approximate geographical location. We use the information to compile statistics about our site (e.g. to estimate our overall audience size, to calculate how many visitors are from Guatemala, etc.) and to make improvements to its overall operation and functionality. We send certain pieces of information that we collect through these cookies to Google – the IP address, operating system, browser type of the user, the referring site and each page the user visits. Any IP addresses that we send are anonymised and do not identify any individual.
You can find out more about Google Analytics cookies, including the confidentiality and security of data by visiting https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/6004245.
