How Craftlore uses cookies and similar technologies to support website functionality, secure platform access, improve performance, and enhance user experience across its digital ecosystem.
This Cookies Policy explains how Craftlore uses cookies and similar technologies on craftlore.org and related platform features. It should be read together with the Privacy Policy and Terms of Use.
By continuing to use Craftlore, you acknowledge the use of cookies and similar technologies as described in this policy.
Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They help websites function, remember information about your visit, maintain sessions, improve performance, and support security and analytics.
Craftlore may also use similar technologies such as session storage, local storage, pixels, tags, scripts, device identifiers, and log-based tracking tools. For simplicity, this policy refers to these collectively as "cookies".
Craftlore uses cookies and similar technologies to support the operation, reliability, and usability of its platform. These purposes may include:
These cookies are essential for the website or platform to function properly. They may be used to load core site features, maintain session continuity, support sign-in functionality, and protect against fraudulent activity. Without these, some platform features may not function correctly.
These cookies help remember choices and improve convenience — including settings, preferences, language choices, and interaction consistency across forms or platform tools.
These cookies help us understand how Craftlore is being used so we can improve performance, reliability, and technical quality. They may measure which pages are visited most often, how users navigate the platform, whether specific features are functioning well, and where technical errors or drop-off points occur.
Some cookies may be used specifically to protect the platform and its users — identifying suspicious login behavior, maintaining secure session controls, protecting forms and account access points, and supporting anti-abuse or anti-bot systems.
Where Craftlore runs newsletters, invitation-based outreach, or platform communications, certain cookies or tags may be used to understand whether communications were opened, accessed, or interacted with, used to improve relevance, delivery quality, and communication performance.
These are cookies set directly by Craftlore or from the craftlore.org domain to support core website and platform operations.
Some cookies may be set by trusted service providers that support functions such as analytics, hosting and infrastructure, authentication, payment processing, embedded media, communications, and security monitoring. Third-party providers may process data according to their own privacy terms and service arrangements.
These are temporary cookies that expire when you close your browser. They are commonly used for secure navigation, platform continuity, and temporary session handling.
These remain on your device for a longer period or until deleted. They may be used to remember preferences, support repeat visits, improve experience, or assist analytics functions.
Because Craftlore includes platform features such as sign-in, membership pathways, entity registration, registry participation, and authenticated tools, some cookies are necessary to keep users signed in securely, preserve session continuity, verify access rights, and protect restricted areas. If these cookies are disabled, account-related functions may not work as intended.
Craftlore may include public discovery pages, registry-related interfaces, participation workflows, dashboards, and learning features. Cookies may support the stability and usability of these experiences by helping maintain form continuity, save temporary choices or progress, improve content delivery, and understand how features are being used.
You may be able to control or limit cookies through:

Most browsers allow you to manage cookies through their settings. Depending on your browser, you may be able to view, remove, or block cookies — either globally or on a site-by-site basis. For accurate instructions, consult the support documentation of the browser you use.
Craftlore may use analytics technologies to understand how visitors and users interact with the site and platform features. These insights help improve page clarity, navigation structure, content usability, technical performance, and service reliability. Where required by law, analytics cookies may be activated only after appropriate notice or consent.
Some pages on Craftlore may include embedded or connected services such as video or media embeds, maps, social media links, authentication services, payment tools, or external resources. These services may set their own cookies when you interact with them. Craftlore does not control the cookie policies of external services.
Craftlore serves an international audience. Depending on your jurisdiction, you may be entitled to additional notice, consent, or control regarding cookies. Where appropriate, Craftlore may present cookie notices, preference controls, or jurisdiction-sensitive handling mechanisms to align with applicable legal requirements.
Craftlore may update this Cookies Policy from time to time to reflect changes in platform features, service providers, technology use, legal requirements, or operational practices. When updates are made, the Last Updated date will be revised. Continued use of Craftlore after such changes indicates acknowledgement of the revised policy.
