Google AdSense and Advertising Cookies
We use Google AdSense to display advertising on Crochet Crafty. Google, as a third-party vendor, uses cookies (including the DoubleClick/advertising cookie) to serve ads based on your prior visits to this and other websites. Google’s use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads based on your visit to our site and/or other sites on the Internet.
You may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings at https://www.google.com/settings/ads. You can find more information about how Google uses data when you use our partners’ sites or apps at https://policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites.
You can also opt out of a number of third-party ad networks’ cookies through the Digital Advertising Alliance’s consumer choice tool at aboutads.info.
Google Analytics
We use Google Analytics to understand how visitors interact with our site, including which pages are viewed, how long visitors stay, and how they arrived at the site. Google Analytics collects information anonymously and reports website trends without identifying individual visitors. You can opt out of Google Analytics tracking by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.
Amazon Associates
Crochet Crafty is a participant in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program. When you click an Amazon affiliate link on our site, Amazon may set its own cookies to track referrals and purchases, in accordance with Amazon’s own privacy policy. We do not control and are not responsible for Amazon’s data practices.
How Cookies Are Used
Cookies on Crochet Crafty generally fall into three categories: essential cookies that allow the site to function, analytics cookies that help us understand site usage, and advertising cookies that enable ad personalization and measurement. You can control or delete cookies through your browser settings at any time; note that disabling cookies may affect how parts of the site function.
Your Choices and Opt-Outs
You can manage advertising cookie preferences through Google Ads Settings, the Digital Advertising Alliance opt-out tool at aboutads.info, and your browser’s own privacy controls. Most browsers let you block or delete cookies through their settings menu.
Children’s Privacy
Crochet Crafty is not directed to children under the age of 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. This site is intended for a general audience, and we comply with the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA). If you believe a child under 13 has provided us with personal information, please contact us so we can remove it.
GDPR, UK, and CCPA Notice
For visitors in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, and Switzerland, we obtain consent for non-essential cookies, including analytics and advertising cookies, through a consent management tool before those cookies are set. You can change your consent choices at any time through that tool. For California residents, the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) provides certain rights regarding personal information, including the right to know what information is collected and the right to opt out of its sale; Crochet Crafty does not sell personal information in the traditional sense, though the use of advertising cookies may be considered a “sale” or “share” under CCPA, and you may opt out using the tools described above.
Data Security
We take reasonable steps to protect information collected through this site, but no method of transmission over the Internet is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
