Bookmenti is run by Eggvelop ApS (CVR 44287463, Denmark). We collect as little as possible, we do not run ads, and we never sell data. This page explains exactly what happens with yours.
When you visit Bookmenti, our hosting providers (Cloudflare and our own server in the EU) process your IP address and request details for the technical purpose of delivering the page and protecting the site against abuse. This is standard for every website, happens on the legal basis of legitimate interest, and is not used to profile you. We set no cookies for this.
Podcast cover art is loaded straight from each podcast's own hosting provider (Megaphone, Art19, Libsyn, Simplecast and others). Your browser fetches the picture from them, so they see your IP address, as with any picture on the web. We send them nothing else, and they set no cookies through Bookmenti.
If you click "Allow all" in the cookie dialog (or switch on Statistics under "Customize" and allow your selection), we load two analytics tools: PostHog, hosted on PostHog's EU cloud, and Umami, which we run on our own server in Finland, hosted by Hetzner. Either way the data stays inside the EU. They help us see which pages help people find books and which do not. They collect:
We keep analytics for up to 12 months and recordings for 30 days. If your browser sends a Do Not Track signal, neither tool collects anything.
If you click "Deny", none of this loads and no analytics cookies are set. The site works exactly the same either way.
The cookie declaration lists every cookie and stored item Bookmenti uses, by category and provider, with what each one is for and how long it stays. It is generated from the same list the cookie dialog shows, so it always matches what the site really does. Your answer in the dialog is remembered for 12 months, and that one item is set for everyone, because storing your choice is what makes the choice work.
Click the cookie button in the bottom left corner of any page, or "Cookie settings" in the footer, at any time. If you take a yes back, we delete the analytics cookies from your browser on the spot, and we can remove the collected data from PostHog and Umami on request.
Some pages let you leave an email address to get notified, for example when a podcast you voted for joins Bookmenti or when a show mentions a new book. We use that address only for the notification you asked for. It is never shared, and you can have it deleted by writing to us.
Under GDPR you can ask us what data we hold about you, ask for it to be corrected or deleted, and withdraw consent at any time. Write to contact@bookmenti.com and we will sort it out. If you believe we are handling data wrongly, you can complain to the Danish Data Protection Agency, Datatilsynet.
If we start collecting something new, we will update this page and, where the law requires it, ask for your consent again.
We use cookies to make Bookmenti work and, with your consent, to understand how it is used so we can make it better. Allow all, Deny the optional ones, or Customize what you allow.
Necessary cookies make a website usable by enabling basic functions like page navigation and remembering the choices you make. The website cannot work properly without them.
Remembers your answer in the cookie dialog, so you are not asked on every page.
Only set when a member of our own team signs in to Bookmenti Studio, the tool we plan our book clips in. It keeps them signed in. Visitors never get it.
Only set if Cloudflare, the network that delivers this site, has had to check that your browser is not an automated attack. It remembers that you passed, so you are not checked again on every page. It is not used to follow you.
Preference cookies let a website remember information that changes how it looks or behaves, like your preferred language or the region you are in.
We don’t currently use any cookies in this category.
Statistics cookies help us understand how visitors use the website by collecting and reporting information, so we can make it better.
Umami, which we host ourselves on servers in the EU. It shows which pages are visited and what is clicked, and can replay how a visit went, with typed text hidden. It sets no cookie, keeps nothing in your browser, and the data is not shared with anyone.
Tells visits apart with a random ID and keeps the current session together, so page views and clicks can be counted per visit instead of per click.

Cookies are small text files a website can use to make a visit work better. The same rules apply to similar storage in your browser, so we list both here.
The law lets us store what is strictly necessary for the site to work. For everything else we need your permission, and nothing optional loads before you give it.
You can change or withdraw your consent at any time with the cookie button in the lower left corner. The Cookie Declaration lists exactly what we use, and the Privacy Policy says who we are and how we handle personal data.
