Cookie Policy
Last updated: 11 May 2026
Introduction
This Cookie Policy explains how cookies, localStorage, sessionStorage and similar technologies are used on https://www.crochetershub.com, a marketplace for crochet products, digital patterns and related services.
The operator details currently published on the site are: C-Hub, Viale Rodi 91, Milano, P.IVA 14576610969, info@crochetershub.com. The full legal entity name is to be verified.
What Cookies Are
Cookies are small text files stored by a website in the browser. They can help a site keep a user logged in, remember preferences, protect account flows, or measure how services are used. Browser storage technologies, such as localStorage and sessionStorage, can serve similar technical or preference purposes but are not sent automatically with every request like cookies.
Types of Cookies and Storage We Use
Strictly necessary technologies
These are needed for login, account security, consent preferences, checkout flow, fraud prevention, page delivery or other core marketplace functions. They do not rely on consent when they are technically required.
Functional and preference technologies
These remember choices such as language, currency, newsletter popup dismissal, or notification prompt state. Some are set directly by CrochetersHub scripts and may be changed or cleared through browser settings.
Analytics and marketing technologies
The current runtime scan did not confirm active Google Analytics, Meta Pixel, TikTok Pixel, Pinterest Pixel or similar marketing/profiling tags. The consent banner has analytics and marketing controls for future optional services, but any activation must be preceded by a policy and consent review.

Third-Party Resources Observed

Public CDN | Loads frontend libraries or assets used by the website. | No third-party cookie observed in the latest scan. |

Analytics and Marketing Status
As of the latest review, Google Analytics 4, Meta Pixel, TikTok Pixel, Pinterest Pixel and similar marketing/profiling tags were not confirmed as active by the runtime scan. The CrochetersHub consent script contains a Google Analytics placeholder and skips loading Google Analytics while that placeholder remains in use.
If analytics or marketing tags are activated later, this policy and the consent banner must be updated before activation, and the relevant technologies must be listed with provider, purpose, category and retention details.
Managing Cookie Preferences
You can accept, reject or customize optional categories through the cookie banner. You can also clear cookies, localStorage and sessionStorage from your browser settings. Clearing browser storage may reset language, currency, newsletter popup and consent preferences.
Items Still Under Verification
The following items are documented with a conservative status because they were identified in code or limited runtime evidence, but need additional flow-specific verification before more specific public classification:
sid: final cookie inventory after authenticated login is to be verified with a fresh authenticated scan.logged_in: exact UI purpose and whether it remains necessary are to be verified.- Google Maps: whether every map/location surface needs additional consent gating is to be verified.
- Stripe/payment checkout: payment-related cookies or storage were not fully scanned through a complete safe checkout path.
- Google OAuth/social login: short-lived OAuth cookies are expected from code, but runtime headers are to be verified.
- Referral attribution:
ref_codeandref_idcookies, local referral markers and referral click tracking are to be verified by referral flow. - Newsletter and push notification markers:
nl_popup_dismiss,nl_popup_subscribed,push_modal_dismissedandpush_subscribedare to be verified by interaction flow. - Backend page-view, ad-click and referral-click records: legal category and consent posture are to be verified.
Legacy deletion headers may be used to remove older cookies during login or logout cleanup. Deletion headers do not mean those cookies are active tracking or session cookies.
Updates and Contact
This policy may be updated when cookie usage, browser storage, third-party resources, analytics, marketing, payment, OAuth, referral or notification flows change.
