This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are, how Crochet by Silvia (accessible at www.crochetbysilvia.com) uses them, the types of cookies we collect, and how you can control your cookie preferences.
- What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that are used to store small pieces of information. They are stored on your device when the website is loaded on your browser. These cookies help us make the website function properly, make it more secure, provide a better user experience, and analyze what works and where it needs improvement. - How We Use Cookies
Like most online services, our website uses first-party and third-party cookies for several purposes.
First-party cookies are mostly necessary for the website to function the right way, and they do not collect any of your personally identifiable data.
Third-party cookies used on our website are mainly for understanding how the website performs, interacting with our content, keeping our services secure, delivering advertisements that are relevant to you, and altogether providing you with a better and improved user experience.
- Types of Cookies We Use
To keep our crochet patterns free for everyone, we rely on third-party integrations that set cookies on your browser. The cookies used on our site fall into the following categories:
Essential / Necessary: These cookies are crucial for the basic functionalities of the site, such as page navigation and secure areas. The website cannot function properly without them.
Analytics & Performance: We use these cookies to understand how visitors interact with the blog (e.g., which free amigurumi patterns are the most popular, traffic sources, and error pages). This helps us improve the overall site performance.
Advertising & Marketing: Our website displays third-party advertisements. These cookies are used by ad networks to personalize the advertisements that you see so they are meaningful to you, and to track the efficiency of these ad campaigns.
Affiliate Tracking: As part of our monetization (such as the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program), tracking cookies are utilized to track clicks and purchases made through our external affiliate links. This ensures we receive a small commission for recommending tools and yarns, at no extra cost to you.
External Marketplace Redirection: When you click on a link that redirects you to our Etsy shop, Etsy may place its own cookies on your browser to manage your session and shopping cart on their platform.
- How Can I Control Cookie Preferences?
You have the right to decide whether to accept or reject cookies. You can manage your preferences through your browser settings to accept, refuse, or delete cookies at any time.
Please note that if you choose to reject or disable essential cookies, some functionalities and pages of our website may not work as intended.
