Privacy

Last updated October 6, 2026

Forage is a free, read-only library: no accounts, no ads, and we don’t sell or share information about readers.

What we collect. To see which books are read, each page view records the page, the referring page and your country. To count unique visitors, we store a code made by scrambling your IP address with the date; we don’t store the IP address itself. Our host, Cloudflare, and Google Fonts process your IP address to deliver the site. Your reading settings stay in your own browser.

Your place in a book. When you read or listen, we keep your place in each book under a random code stored in a cookie, so you can pick up where you left off, even on another device with your private link. It isn’t linked to your name, email or IP address, and you can erase it at any time with “Forget my place” at the bottom of any page. If you email us, we use your message only to reply.

Your choices. Blocking scripts stops the page-view count; the books still work. The site isn’t meant for children under 13. For questions or requests about your data, email feedback@forage.com.
