Cookie Policy

1. What Cookies Are

Cookies are small text files placed on your computer or mobile device when you browse online platforms. They help websites remember your preferences, keep you signed in to reader accounts, and understand how visitors navigate through different articles. Cookies can be temporary session files that expire when you close your browser or persistent files that remain until manually deleted or until their defined duration ends.

2. Cookies We Set

Craftsmith Guild sets cookies strictly to preserve your consent preferences and to gather aggregated site traffic analytics. We use basic preference cookies to store your choices so that the notification banner does not reappear on every visit, alongside anonymous analytics tokens that measure total pageviews and reading duration. We do not operate online stores, customer accounts, or payment processing mechanisms, and we set no cookies related to digital purchasing.

3. Managing Cookies and Consent Choices

You can customize your cookie preferences at any time using our consent banner or via your web browser settings. Most web browsers allow you to view stored cookies, reject specific categories, block third-party trackers, or clear all browser storage upon exit. If you choose to disable analytical cookies, you will still enjoy full access to all articles, pattern archives, and DIY guides on our website without restriction.

4. Third-Party Services and Analytics

We use third-party analytics providers to evaluate readership trends, popular crafting topics, and site performance. These external providers may set their own tracking files on your device to gather aggregated statistical data about browser types, referral paths, and device operating systems. These third parties are bound by data processing agreements and do not receive personal identifying information such as your name or contact details from our servers.
