This page explains the cookies used on crochetblanketco.com, what each category is for, and exactly how to refuse or delete them.

At a glance

  • Essential cookies keep the site working and cannot be switched off.
  • Analytics cookies tell us which guides are read. You can refuse them.
  • Advertising cookies may be set by third parties to limit repetition and measure ads.
  • Affiliate cookies attribute a purchase to us and never change your price.
  • Your browser can block or delete all of them at any time.

A cookie is a small text file a website asks your browser to store. On the next visit the browser sends it back, which is how a site remembers anything at all. Similar technologies such as local storage and pixels work the same way for the purposes of this policy.

Categories we use

Strictly necessary

Set by WordPress and our host to serve pages, keep the site secure and remember a comment name if you leave one. Without these the site does not function, so they cannot be turned off from within the site.

Analytics

Set by our analytics provider to count visits and see which pages hold attention. They tell us that a size chart was read for four minutes. They do not tell us who read it.

Advertising

If advertising is displayed, vendors may set cookies to cap how often you see the same ad and to measure whether an ad worked. Google and its partners are the primary vendors in this category.

Affiliate attribution

When you click a link to a retailer, that retailer may set a cookie recording that you arrived from this site so any commission is credited correctly. The cookie belongs to the retailer, not to us.

How to refuse or delete cookies

Every major browser lets you block cookies, delete existing ones, or open a private window that discards them on close. The controls are here:

You can also opt out of personalised advertising at Google Ads Settings or aboutads.info.

What happens if you block them

Blocking analytics and advertising cookies has no effect on your ability to read anything here. Every pattern, chart and guide stays fully available. Blocking strictly necessary cookies may break parts of the site.
