A cookie is a small file a website asks your browser to keep, so it can remember something between page loads. This page lists every cookie Crochetilly actually sets, what each one does, how long it lasts, and how to change your mind.

Nothing optional runs before you choose
Analytics and advertising are switched off by default on this site. We use Google Consent Mode, which tells Google to store nothing at all until you make a choice in the banner. If you close the banner without choosing, or you choose Reject, no analytics cookie is ever written. You can verify this yourself: open the site in a private window and look at the cookies before you click anything.
The cookies this site sets
| Name | Set by | Purpose | Lasts | Needs consent |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| cookieadmin_consent | Crochetilly | Remembers which cookie categories you allowed, so the banner does not ask again on every page. | 365 days | No, strictly necessary |
| _ga | Google Analytics | Tells one browser apart from another so a visit is not counted twice. | 2 years | Yes, analytics |
| _ga_MXB0JBLMK5 | Google Analytics | Keeps the state of your current visit for our Google Analytics property. | 2 years | Yes, analytics |
The site also uses one item of browser session storage, wpEmojiSettingsSupports, which WordPress writes to check whether your browser can display emoji. It holds no personal data and disappears when you close the tab.
When advertising is switched on we will add the advertising cookies to this table before the first advertisement appears, not afterwards.
Other companies your browser contacts
- googletagmanager.com loads Google Analytics. With consent denied it runs in a mode that stores nothing.
- Nothing else. Every image, font and script on this site is served from crochetilly.com, so no other company sees your visit unless you allow analytics.
Changing your mind
Use the cookie settings control on any page to reopen the banner and switch any optional category off. Turning a category off stops new cookies in that category immediately. Your browser can also block or delete cookies for this site; the help pages for Chrome, Safari, Firefox and Edge each explain how. Blocking the strictly necessary cookie means the banner will ask you again on every page.
