3. Cookies & Analytics
This website uses cookies and similar technologies to measure website traffic, analyze user behavior, and improve your browsing experience. Below is a detailed breakdown of how we handle cookies, tracking, and your privacy choices.
What are cookies? Cookies are small text files stored on your computer or device by your web browser when you visit a website.
Google Analytics: We use Google Analytics, a service provided by Google, LLC, to collect anonymous statistics about how visitors interact with our site. This includes information such as the pages you visit, how long you stay, your general location, and the type of browser or device you use. Google Analytics uses the following cookies:
_ga(used to distinguish users, with a standard duration of 2 years)_gid(used to distinguish users, with a standard duration of 24 hours)
Consent Management (Google Consent Mode & Klaro): This website utilizes Google Consent Mode v2 to manage and enforce consent state directly within Google services. To capture, store, and communicate your preferences to Google, we use Klaro, an open-source cookie consent interface. Klaro stores a cookie named klaro on your device to remember your choice (expires after 365 days) and dynamically updates Google's Consent Mode. Under this system, Google Analytics itself manages and enforces whether tracking cookies are set or read based on the consent signals provided.
Your Choices and Opt-in Consent: Your privacy is highly valued. Tracking is completely opt-in. Google Consent Mode v2 ensures that Google Analytics operates with tracking cookies disabled by default. We do not set or access Google Analytics tracking cookies unless you explicitly grant consent through our cookie consent banner. If you choose to decline, Google Analytics continues to operate in a restricted, cookieless state without tracking cookies, respecting your privacy choices.
International Data Transfers: Because Google is based in the United States, please note that information generated by these cookies may be transferred to and stored on servers in the United States, which may have different data protection laws than your home country.
Withdrawing or Changing Consent: You can change your preferences or withdraw consent at any time. To review and update your choices, please click the button below or the "Cookie Settings" link in the website footer:
4. External Links (Etsy & Others)
Some pages may include links to external sites, such as my Etsy shop or affiliate products. Once you leave this site and visit another, their privacy policy and terms apply. I encourage you to read the policies of any third-party sites you visit.
5. Children's Privacy
This website is not intended for children under the age of 13. I do not knowingly collect information from children.
6. Your Consent
By using this website, you consent to the collection and use of personal data that you voluntarily provide to us (such as when submitting a contact form or subscribing to our newsletter). Your consent for cookies and website tracking is given separately and voluntarily via our cookie consent banner. You may change or withdraw your consent for tracking at any time.
