    Cookie Notice

    Last updated: September 13, 2026

    The short version

    Bible Sundays is free to read and needs no account. Most of what the site remembers — your place in a reading plan, your saved verses, your quiz scores — is stored in your own browser and never leaves your device. We also count page views so we know which pages help people, and we show adverts on some pages, which involves cookies set by Google and its advertising partners.

    What a cookie is

    A cookie is a small text file a website asks your browser to keep. Similar technologies — local storage, pixels, device identifiers — do much the same job, and everything on this page applies to them too.

    Cookies we use

    Strictly necessary

    Keep the site working: remembering your reading position, saved verses, quiz scores and reading-plan progress. These are stored in your own browser and never sent to us.

    Kept for
    Until you clear your browser storage
    Consent
    Not required — the site cannot work without them

    Preferences

    Remember choices you make, such as font size in the Bible reader, dismissed notices and whether you have already seen an email sign-up prompt.

    Analytics

    Count page views and referring sites so we know which pages are useful. We record the page, the referrer, the country and the device type — not your name or email.

    Advertising cookies in detail

    • Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this website or other websites.
    • Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visit to Bible Sundays and/or other sites on the internet.
    • You can opt out of personalised advertising at Google Ads Settings.
    • You can opt out of many third-party vendors' cookies at aboutads.info/choices, or in Europe at youronlinechoices.eu.
    • Adverts never appear inside our embeddable Bible widgets. Sites that embed a Bible Sundays widget receive no advertising code from us.

    How to control cookies yourself

    Every major browser lets you block or delete cookies: look under Settings → Privacy in Chrome, Edge, Firefox, or Safari. Blocking all cookies will stop the site remembering your reading progress, saved verses and quiz scores, but the Bible text, tools and printables will still work.

    Visitors in the UK, EEA and Switzerland are asked for their consent before advertising or measurement cookies are set, and can change or withdraw that choice at any time.

    Children

    Our children's pages — colouring sheets, kids' devotions and VBS material — are made for parents, teachers and church volunteers to print. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13, and no account is ever required.
