At EONCRAFTS, we use cookies and similar technologies to enhance your experience on our DIY and crafting blog eoncrafts.eu. This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are, how we use them, and your options for managing them. This policy is part of our broader Privacy Policy (https://eoncrafts.eu/privacy-policy/).
 
1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files placed on your device (computer, phone, or tablet) when you visit our website. They help us remember your preferences, analyze site usage, and deliver relevant content, such as DIY tutorials or crafting tips.
 
2. Types of Cookies We Use
We use the following categories of cookies:
  • Essential Cookies
    These are necessary for the website to function properly. For example, they enable you to navigate pages or leave comments on our blog posts. Without these cookies, some features may not work.
    Example: Session cookies to keep you logged into a commenting system (if applicable).
  • Analytics Cookies
    These help us understand how visitors use our site, such as which DIY projects are most popular or how long you spend reading a crafting guide. We use this data to improve our content.
    Example: Google Analytics cookies (_ga, _gid) to track page views and visitor behavior.
  • Functional Cookies
    These enhance your experience by remembering your preferences, like your preferred language or whether you’ve dismissed a pop-up.
    Example: A cookie to save your choice of light/dark mode (if offered).
  • Advertising Cookies
    If we display ads or affiliate links (e.g., for crafting supplies via Amazon Associates), these cookies track your browsing habits to show you relevant promotions. They may be set by us or third-party partners.
    Example: Cookies from ad networks or affiliate programs to personalize ads.
3. Third-Party Cookies
Some cookies are set by third parties we work with, including:
  • Google Analytics: To analyze site traffic and user engagement.
  • Social Media Platforms: Buttons (e.g., Pinterest “Pin It” or Instagram share) may set cookies if you’re logged into those services.
  • Advertising Networks: Partners like affiliate programs or ad providers may use cookies to tailor ads to your interests.
These third parties have their own privacy and cookie policies, which we don’t control. We recommend reviewing them for more details.
4. How Long Do Cookies Last?
  • Session Cookies: Temporary and deleted when you close your browser.
  • Persistent Cookies: Remain on your device for a set period (e.g., days, months, or years) or until you delete them, depending on their purpose.
5. Your Cookie Choices
You can control how cookies are used:
  • Browser Settings: Most browsers (e.g., Chrome, Firefox, Safari) allow you to block or delete cookies. Check your browser’s “Privacy” or “Settings” menu for options. Note that blocking essential cookies may limit site functionality.
  • Cookie Consent Pop-Up: If we use one (e.g., for GDPR compliance), you can accept or decline non-essential cookies when you first visit.
  • Opt-Out Tools: For third-party ads, visit sites like www.aboutads.info/choices or www.youronlinechoices.eu to opt out.
6. Do We Use Other Tracking Technologies?
In addition to cookies, we may use:
  • Pixel Tags: Tiny images embedded in pages or emails to track views (e.g., newsletter opens).
  • Local Storage: HTML5 storage for similar purposes as cookies, like saving preferences.
