Introduction

This Cookie Policy explains how the Historical Agriculture Library (tiuik.com) uses cookies, web storage, and similar technologies when you visit our catalogue of independent public-domain literature. We are committed to clear and honest communication about the tools that help us maintain and improve the site.

What Are Cookies

Cookies are small text files stored on your device by your web browser. They allow a website to recognise your device and remember certain information about your visit. Some cookies are essential for the site to function; others help us understand how the catalogue is used or enable optional features such as personalised content or advertising.

Types of Cookies We Use

Essential Cookies

These cookies are necessary for the basic operation of the catalogue. They enable core functions such as navigating between pages, maintaining your session, and remembering your cookie preferences. Without these cookies, the site cannot work properly.

Preference Cookies

Where enabled, preference cookies remember choices you make on the site, such as text size or display settings, so that you do not have to set them again on each visit.

Analytics Cookies

If you have consented, we may use analytics cookies to collect aggregated information about how visitors use the catalogue—for example, which pages are most frequently read, how long visitors stay, and whether they encounter any errors. This data helps us improve the site’s structure and content. No personal information is collected through these cookies unless you provide it voluntarily.

Advertising Cookies

Where advertising is displayed on the catalogue, we may use advertising cookies (including those from Google advertising services) to deliver relevant advertisements and measure their performance. These cookies track your browsing activity across different websites and build a profile of your interests. They are only placed with your prior consent where required by law.

First-Party and Third-Party Cookies

First-party cookies are set by the Historical Agriculture Library directly. Third-party cookies are set by services we use, such as analytics providers or advertising networks. These third parties may use their own cookies to collect information about your online activities over time and across different sites. We do not control the data practices of these third parties.

Session and Persistent Cookies

Session cookies are temporary and are deleted when you close your browser. Persistent cookies remain on your device for a set period or until you manually delete them. The exact duration varies by cookie and is determined by the cookie’s own settings.

Local Storage

In addition to cookies, we may use local storage (such as HTML5 localStorage) to store small amounts of data on your device. This is used for similar purposes as cookies, such as remembering your preferences or caching parts of the site for performance. Local storage data is not automatically sent to our servers and can be cleared through your browser settings.

Your Choices and Consent

When you first visit the catalogue, you will be presented with a cookie consent notice where you can choose to accept or decline non-essential cookies. Essential cookies are always set as they are necessary for the site to function. You can change your preferences at any time by clicking the “Cookie Settings” link in the footer of the site.

If you withdraw consent for optional cookies, we will stop using them, but this may affect certain features of the catalogue (for example, personalised recommendations or ad relevance).

Browser Controls

Most web browsers allow you to control cookies through their settings. You can usually block or delete cookies, or set your browser to alert you when a cookie is placed. Please note that disabling all cookies, including essential ones, may prevent parts of the catalogue from working correctly. Instructions for managing cookies can be found in your browser’s help section.

Practical Effects of Disabling Cookies

If you disable essential cookies, you may not be able to log in, use the shopping cart (if applicable), or maintain your preferences across visits. Disabling analytics cookies means we will not be able to learn how to improve the site. Disabling advertising cookies will result in less relevant advertisements, but you will still see ads.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page, and where appropriate, you will be notified via a notice on the site.

If you have any questions about our use of cookies, please contact the Collection Editor at editor@tiuik.com.

TIUIK Historical Agriculture Library is an independent catalogue of source-attributed public-domain editions focused on Agriculture. Each record connects readers with edition facts, historical context and the original source record.

About TIUIK

This digital library brings together 100 works on agriculture and gardening, spanning farming, horticulture, livestock care, and plant science. Topics include bee culture, fruit-growing in New York, viticulture in the United States, and the breeding of horses, sheep, and cats. Authors include U.P. Hedrick, Frank Benton, and Sir Walter Gilbey, with titles such as The Cultivation of the Native Grape and Woodward's Graperies. The collection also features guides on dogs, beehives, and specialty crops like pecan and mangel-wurzel.

Beyond practical manuals, the archive includes works on national monuments like Devils Tower and Devils Postpile, reflecting the intersection of agriculture with land stewardship. Whether you are a historian, gardener, or farmer, these texts offer a window into past practices and enduring principles of cultivation and animal husbandry.
