Because there is nothing to ask you about. This site sets no cookies, uses no analytics, and loads nothing from an advertising network. Nobody is counting you and nobody is following you afterwards.
The rules require consent before a site stores anything on your device — unless it is strictly necessary for something you have actually asked for. A banner asking permission to set no cookies would be theatre.
The one cookie there is
The front page reads that cookie — if you are already signed in it sends you straight to your books instead of showing you a sales page. Reading one is not setting one: nothing is stored on your machine by these pages.
When you sign in to the app, it sets a single cookie so that the next page knows it is still you. Without it you would be signed out between one click and the next.

A random session identifier. It holds no personal information itself — just a reference the server matches to your signed-in session. | Until you close the browser, or sign out |
It is marked HttpOnly (JavaScript cannot read it), Secure
(it only travels over HTTPS) and SameSite=Lax (other sites cannot make
your browser send it). It is strictly necessary for a service you asked for, so no
consent is needed for it — and refusing it would simply mean not being able to sign in.
What this site does not do
- No Google Analytics, or any other analytics.
- No advertising or remarketing pixels.
- No social media buttons that load from somebody else's servers.
- No embedded fonts or videos that would let a third party see your visit. [Check this stays true — the pages currently load a web font from Google Fonts, which means Google sees the request. If you want this claim to hold exactly, self-host the font. It is one file and a two-line change.]
- No chat widget.
Turning them off anyway
Every browser lets you block or delete cookies, usually under Settings → Privacy. Blocking them here costs you nothing except the ability to stay signed in.
If this changes
If anything is ever added that sets a cookie which is not strictly necessary, this page will be updated and a proper consent banner will appear — one that asks before anything loads, and where saying no is as easy as saying yes.
Anything else about how your information is handled is in Privacy.
