The app does not use cookies for tracking. It does not track you across apps or websites owned by other companies, so it does not show Apple's App Tracking Transparency prompt. It keeps only what it needs on your device, like your sign-in.
Use the Cookie settings link in the footer of any page, or the button at the top of this page. Saying no to analytics never limits what you can do on The Fae Shelf.
Clearing necessary cookies signs you out. Questions go to privacy@thefaeshelf.com. More detail is in our privacy policy.
