Most Recommended Books itself does not use cookies. We do not set any first-party cookies on your device.

Other Technologies We Use

While we don't use cookies, we do use other technologies:

  • •Local Storage: We store your theme preference (light/dark mode) in your browser's local storage. This is similar to a cookie but is not sent to our servers.
