Cookie Policy
This policy explains what cookies are, which types Crochet Bag Idea may use, why they are used and how visitors can manage their choices.
What cookies are
Cookies are small text files stored on a browser or device when a website is visited. Similar technologies, such as local storage and pixels, may perform related functions. They can remember preferences, protect a website, measure how it is used and support advertising.
Some cookies are placed directly by Crochet Bag Idea. Others may be placed by approved service providers when their tools are active.
Cookie categories
The exact cookies present depend on the services enabled on the live website. This page will be updated when those services change.
Google services and advertising cookies
Crochet Bag Idea may use Google AdSense and analytics services. Google and its partners may use cookies or similar technologies to deliver and measure ads, prevent fraud, limit repeated advertising and, when permitted, personalize advertising based on visits to this and other websites.
Visitors can learn how Google uses information from sites that use its services on Google’s partner-sites page. Personalized advertising choices can be managed through Google Ads Settings.
Consent and privacy choices
When optional cookies require permission, Crochet Bag Idea will use a consent message that allows visitors to accept, reject or manage available purposes. Refusing optional cookies will not prevent access to the free crochet patterns.
Before advertising is activated, the live site will be connected to a Google-certified consent management platform for applicable visitors in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom and Switzerland.
Once that system is connected, a permanent “Manage privacy choices” link will appear in the footer so visitors can revisit their decision.
Browser and device controls
Most browsers allow visitors to inspect, block or delete cookies through their privacy settings. Blocking all cookies may affect privacy preferences or other website features. Browser help documentation explains the controls available for a specific browser and device.
Some choices are stored per browser and device. A visitor may need to set the preference again after clearing cookies or using another browser.
Cookie duration
Session cookies generally expire when the browser closes. Persistent cookies remain until their stated expiry date or until they are deleted. Duration varies according to the purpose and provider. The consent platform on the live website will provide current vendor and purpose information where required.
Changes to this policy
This policy may be updated when cookies, vendors or website features change. The effective date at the top will be revised when material updates are published. The current settings shown by the live consent tool take priority over a general example in this policy.
For more information about personal information and visitor rights, read the Privacy Policy.
