Cookies & analytics
We use essential cookies to keep you signed in and remember preferences. With your browser settings, you can block non-essential cookies; core features may stop working. We may use privacy-respecting analytics to understand usage in aggregate (no profiling for advertising).
- Session cookies (essential) expire when you close the browser.
- Preference cookies (e.g., language, contrast) persist until cleared.
Sharing & third-party services
We share the minimum necessary information with library vendors (discovery, databases, e-books) to authenticate users and deliver content under license. Vendors operate under contractual privacy and security obligations. We do not sell personal data.
Security & retention
Library systems use industry-standard safeguards. Borrowing histories are retained only as needed for operations, audits, or where you opt-in (e.g., reading history). Other records follow University retention schedules; when no longer required, they are securely deleted or anonymized.
Your choices & rights
- Access or correct your library account details.
- Export selected records where technically feasible.
- Request deletion of optional data you provided, subject to legal/operational limits.
- Control cookies via your browser.
