Last updated: June 10, 2026

WebNovel Reading Order ("we," "us," or "our") operates https://www.webnovelorder.com. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and your rights regarding that information.

By using this website, you agree to the practices described in this Policy. If you do not agree, please discontinue use of the site.

1. Information We Collect

a) Information Collected Automatically

When you visit our website, certain information is collected automatically by third-party services we use:

  • IP address (anonymized after collection)
  • Browser type and version
  • Operating system
  • Referring URL (the page you visited before arriving here)
  • Pages visited and time spent on each page

We do not currently operate contact forms, user accounts, or any mechanism that requires you to submit personal information. If this changes, we will update this Policy.

2. How We Use Your Information

We use the information collected for the following purposes:

  • Analytics: To understand how visitors use our site, which pages are most popular, and where users come from — so we can improve content quality.
  • Advertising: To display relevant advertisements to our visitors (when Google AdSense is active on this site).
  • Affiliate Tracking: To track purchases made through our Amazon affiliate links so we can earn commission at no extra cost to you.
  • Security: To detect and prevent fraudulent or abusive activity.

We do not sell your personal information to third parties.

3. Cookies

What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. They allow websites and third-party services to recognize your browser and remember preferences or track behavior across sessions. Cookies can have privacy implications because they may be used to build a profile of your browsing habits.

Types of Cookies We Use

Cookie Type Provider Purpose Duration
Analytics Google Analytics 4 Track page views, sessions, and user behavior (anonymized) Up to 2 years
Advertising Google AdSense Display personalized ads based on your interests and browsing history Up to 13 months
Affiliate Amazon Associates Track affiliate referrals when you click Amazon links on our site 24 hours (session)

Google Advertising Cookies

We use Google AdSense to serve advertisements. Google uses cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this site and other websites. These cookies may be used for:

  • Showing you personalized ads relevant to your interests
  • Limiting how often you see the same ad
  • Measuring ad performance and preventing click fraud

Google's advertising cookies do not contain personally identifiable information such as your name or email address. However, they may link your browser to a browsing profile built from your activity across websites that use Google's ad network.

For more information on how Google uses data, see: How Google uses information from sites or apps that use our services.

4. Third-Party Services

Google Analytics 4

We use Google Analytics 4 to analyze website traffic. Google Analytics collects data such as session duration, pages visited, and approximate geographic location (based on IP address). IP anonymization is enabled. Google may process this data on servers in the United States or other countries. For details, see Google's Privacy Policy.

Google AdSense

We use (or intend to use) Google AdSense to display advertisements on our site. AdSense uses cookies and web beacons to collect data about your activity on this and other websites to serve targeted ads. Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads based on your visit to our site and/or other sites on the Internet.

Google's data collection and use in connection with AdSense is governed by Google's Privacy Policy and Google's Advertising and Privacy Policy.

Amazon Associates

We participate in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program, an affiliate advertising program designed to provide a means for websites to earn commission by advertising and linking to Amazon.com. When you click an Amazon link on our site, Amazon may place cookies on your device to track the referral and any resulting purchases. Amazon's data practices are governed by Amazon's Privacy Notice.

5. Your Rights and Choices

Opt Out of Personalized Advertising

You can opt out of Google's use of cookies for personalized advertising at any time:

Opting out of personalized ads does not mean you will see no ads — it means the ads shown will be less relevant to your interests.

Opt Out of Google Analytics

You can prevent Google Analytics from collecting your data by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.

Cookie Settings via Your Browser

Most browsers allow you to manage cookies through browser settings. You can:

  • Block all cookies (note: this may break some website functionality)
  • Delete cookies already stored on your device
  • Set your browser to notify you when cookies are set
