Advertising & Consent

Crochet Crafty is a free resource supported in part by advertising. This page explains how ads work on our site and how you can manage your consent preferences.

How We Display Ads

We display advertising through Google AdSense. AdSense uses cookies and similar technologies to select and serve ads, which may be based on your visit to this site and other sites across the web. This helps keep our tutorials, patterns, and reviews free to access.

Ad Personalization

Some ads you see may be personalized based on your browsing activity, while others are shown without personalization depending on your location and consent choices. You can control ad personalization at any time through Google Ads Settings.

Consent for EEA, UK, and Switzerland Visitors

If you are visiting from the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, or Switzerland, we use a consent management platform (CMP) that follows Google’s Consent Mode framework. Before any non-essential advertising or analytics cookies are set, you’ll be asked to give or decline consent through a consent banner. Google Consent Mode adjusts how tags behave based on the consent choices you make, and you can update your choices at any time by reopening the consent preferences panel, typically available in the site footer.

Managing Your Consent

You can change your advertising and analytics consent at any time by:

  • Reopening the cookie/consent preference panel on this site
  • Adjusting ad personalization through Google Ads Settings
  • Using your browser’s cookie and privacy controls
  • Opting out of interest-based advertising via aboutads.info
