Privacy Policy
WHO WE ARE
Our website address is: https://antiquecrochetpatterns.com/
COMMENTS
When visitors leave comments on the site we collect the data shown in the comments form, and also the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help spam detection.
An anonymized string created from your email address (also called a hash) may be provided to the Gravatar service to see if you are using it. The Gravatar service privacy policy is available here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. After approval of your comment, your profile picture is visible to the public in the context of your comment.
COOKIES
If you leave a comment on our site you may opt-in to saving your name, email address and website in cookies. These are for your convenience so that you do not have to fill in your details again when you leave another comment. These cookies will last for one year.
EMBEDDED CONTENT FROM OTHER WEBSITES
Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g. videos, images, articles, etc.). Embedded content from other websites behaves in the exact same way as if the visitor has visited the other website.
These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with that embedded content, including tracking your interaction with the embedded content if you have an account and are logged in to that website.
HOW LONG WE RETAIN YOUR DATA
If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This is so we can recognize and approve any follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue.
For users that register on our website (if any), we also store the personal information they provide in their user profile. All users can see, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except they cannot change their username). Website administrators can also see and edit that information.
WHAT RIGHTS YOU HAVE OVER YOUR DATA
If you have an account on this site, or have left comments, you can request to receive an exported file of the personal data we hold about you, including any data you have provided to us. You can also request that we erase any personal data we hold about you. This does not include any data we are obliged to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes.
WHERE WE SEND YOUR DATA
Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service.
Google Analytics 4
We offer optional Google Analytics 4 (GA4) to understand how visitors use public pages on this website. GA4 is not loaded and this site does not send GA4 events unless you choose Accept Analytics. Choosing Reject Analytics, or later withdrawing your consent, turns off GA4 data collection from this browser. Your choice is saved in this browser’s local storage, not in an analytics cookie.
When enabled, this site sends page-view information such as the page title, canonical page path, and a sanitized referrer. Search-result pages and URL query strings are excluded from those page views. The events sent by this site do not include form values, account details, or Admin activity. Google Analytics may also process technical and usage information, such as browser and device details, interactions, and cookie-based identifiers. It may use first-party analytics cookies such as _ga and _ga_* while consent is active. Additional automatic interactions can depend on the GA4 property’s measurement settings. Future optional GA4 events will also require consent.
GA4 is a Google service. Google may process information in countries outside your own. For more information, see How Google uses information from sites or apps that use its services and Google’s Privacy Policy.
Analytics is optional. You can accept, reject, or change your choice at any time using Cookie Preferences in the site footer. Rejecting or withdrawing consent does not restrict access to website content.
