Cookie Policy

This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are, which ones feltfox.com uses, and how you can control them. Cookies help us run this site smoothly, remember your preferences, understand how our felt craft and amigurumi tutorials are used, and support the free content we publish. This page works alongside our Privacy Policy and Terms of Use, so we recommend reading those too for a full picture of how we handle your data.

What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files placed on your device (computer, tablet, or phone) when you visit a website. They allow the site to recognize your browser, remember choices you have made, and collect information about how pages are used. Cookies do not usually contain personal information like your name, but they may be linked to a browser or device identifier. Similar technologies, such as local storage and pixels, work in comparable ways and are covered by this policy as well.

Why feltfox.com Uses Cookies

We use cookies to keep the site functioning correctly, to remember your settings between visits, to see which craft tutorials and printable patterns are most popular, and to support the affiliate links that help fund our free content. Details on how affiliate relationships work are explained further in our Affiliate Disclaimer and Disclosure pages.

Types of Cookies We Use

Essential Cookies

These cookies are necessary for the website to function. They enable core features such as page navigation, secure access to certain areas, and basic site security. Without these cookies, parts of feltfox.com may not work as intended, so they cannot be switched off through our own settings, though you can still block them via your browser.

Preference Cookies

Preference cookies remember choices you make, such as font size, previously viewed craft categories, or display settings, so you do not have to reset them every time you visit. These make browsing our felt crafts, amigurumi, and kids' craft tutorials more convenient.

Analytics Cookies

Analytics cookies help us understand how visitors interact with our tutorials and articles, for example which pages are most read, how long people stay, and which links get clicked. This data is generally aggregated and used to improve site structure, content quality, and navigation. We use this insight to decide which topics, like new amigurumi patterns or seasonal craft ideas, deserve more coverage.

Marketing and Affiliate Cookies

Some cookies track referrals from affiliate links or partner platforms, including craft supply retailers and print-on-demand services. These cookies help us earn a small commission when you make a purchase after clicking a link on our site, at no extra cost to you. This supports our ability to keep creating free tutorials. More information is available in our Disclaimer and Pinterest Disclaimer, since some traffic and saves originate from Pinterest and similar platforms.

Third-Party Cookies

Certain cookies are placed by third parties rather than feltfox.com directly. These may include analytics providers, social sharing tools, advertising networks, and affiliate partners linked to craft supply stores. These third parties may collect data about your visits across different websites, according to their own privacy practices. We do not control these third-party cookies directly, and we encourage you to review the respective privacy policies of these providers if you have concerns.

Consent and Your Choices

Where required by law, we ask for your consent before non-essential cookies are set, typically through a cookie banner or preference panel when you first visit the site. You can change your preferences at any time, and you are never required to accept optional cookies to access most of our content. However, disabling certain cookies may affect how some features, like saved preferences or embedded content, perform.

How to Manage or Disable Cookies

Most web browsers allow you to control cookies through their settings. You can typically choose to:

• Block all cookies from being set on your device
• Delete existing cookies stored in your browser
• Receive a notification each time a new cookie is offered
• Allow cookies only from sites you trust

Instructions vary by browser, so check the help section of Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge, or whichever browser you use. Keep in mind that blocking all cookies may limit certain functions on feltfox.com and many other websites, including remembering login details or saved craft favorites.

Cookie Retention

Cookies remain on your device for different lengths of time depending on their purpose. Session cookies are deleted automatically once you close your browser, while persistent cookies, used for preferences or analytics, may remain for weeks or months unless you delete them manually. We periodically review our cookie usage to ensure retention periods are reasonable and aligned with their stated purpose.

Updates to This Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy occasionally to reflect changes in technology, legal requirements, or the tools we use on feltfox.com. Any changes will be posted on this page with a revised date, so we encourage you to check back periodically. For a broader understanding of how the site operates, you may also want to read our Editorial Policy or learn more about our team on the About Us page.
