Last updated: August 7, 2026

This Cookie Policy explains how Craft Lot uses cookies and similar tracking technologies on our website. By continuing to use our site and explicitly accepting cookies, you consent to the use of cookies as described below, in accordance with the consent requirements under the Personal Data Protection Law (PDPL, Royal Decree No. M/19).

1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files stored on your device (computer, tablet, or mobile) when you visit a website. They help websites recognize your device and remember certain information about your visit, such as your preferences or how you navigated the site.

Cookies can be “session cookies” (deleted when you close your browser) or “persistent cookies” (which remain on your device for a set period or until you delete them).

3. Google Analytics

We use Google Analytics — a web analytics service provided by Google LLC — to understand how visitors interact with our website. Google Analytics collects data such as:

  • Pages visited and time spent on each page
  • Traffic sources (how you arrived at our site)
  • General geographic location (country/city level)
  • Device type, browser, and operating system

This information is aggregated and does not personally identify you. Google Analytics may transmit data to Google servers in the United States or other countries. Google processes this data in accordance with their Privacy Policy.

We have enabled IP anonymization in Google Analytics, meaning the last portion of your IP address is masked before storage.

4. Third-Party Cookies

Beyond Google Analytics, our website may also load resources such as fonts from Google Fonts. When external resources are loaded, those providers may set their own cookies or log your IP address in accordance with their own privacy practices.

Craft Lot does not control third-party cookies. We encourage you to review the cookie and privacy policies of these third-party services directly.

5. How to Control Cookies

You have several options to control or limit how cookies are used:

  • Browser settings – Most browsers allow you to view, manage, block, and delete cookies through their settings. Note that disabling cookies may affect the functionality of some websites.
  • Google Analytics Opt-out – You can prevent Google Analytics from collecting your data by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.
  • Google Ad Settings – Visit Google Ad Settings to manage how Google uses your data for advertising purposes.
  • Your Online Choices – You may also opt out of interest-based advertising through Your Online Choices (EU) or AboutAds.info (US).

7. Do Not Track

Some browsers offer a “Do Not Track” (DNT) setting that sends a signal to websites requesting that your browsing not be tracked. At this time, our website does not respond to DNT signals. However, you can use the opt-out methods described above to limit tracking.

8. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time as our website or applicable laws change. Any updates will be posted on this page with a revised date. We encourage you to check this page periodically.
