What are cookies and do we use them?

Cookies are stored by websites and used to store very little amounts of information on your computer. These are stored by a website and Dertz stores two cookies on your computer. Every major website needs to store cookies in order to function properly. Dertz stores a sessions cookie and a cookie to bookmark the current page of any ebook you were reading on Dertz, so that you can easily jump to the page you were reading when you visit Dertz from the same device next time. It is very important for Dertz to store some cookies on your device in order to function properly.
Cookies are also stored by Google Adsense and some third party ad services to show you relevant advertisements. Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to your users based on their visit to your sites and/or other sites on the Internet. We recommend our users to not reject any cookies either from Google or Dertz. It is perfectly safe and legal.
If however, you do not want to accept any cookies, you are always free to configure your browser to disallow cookies. Here is a link on how to do that for major browsers: How to Disable and Clear Cookies in All Major Browsers

How do I opt out of personalised advertising?

Google Adsense is the only ad serving system active on Dertz and this is how this website survives. We need advertising revenues to keep the website afloat and keep providing you free stuff for your mobile, so its very important that the Google Adsense part of our website functions normally without impairment.
However, if you would like to disable personalised advertising completely, opt out of the personalised Google Adsense program here: https://www.google.com/settings/ads and opt out of any other third party personalised ad serving programs here: http://www.aboutads.info/choices/. Users in the European Union geographical area are not shown personalised ads as Google Adsense does not collect profiling information about them.

How do I disable cookies?
