About cookies
If you’re like us, you’ve probably not given too much thought to any cookie that doesn’t involve chocolate, so here are the essential facts: digital cookies are small files made up of bits of data, stored in your phone or computer’s temporary memory when you navigate around the web. Unless you have indicated your objection, our system will issue cookies to your computer when you access, register on and log on to the Craftybase website or use Craftybase. Cookies make it easier for you to log on to and use these sites during visits.
Mainly, we use cookies to tell our website and app, "hey, you remember that computer who visited last week? Well, it’s back!" That cookie information helps us understand traffic patterns on our website, helps us store any preferences or passwords that you’ve asked us to store, and helps us understand how well our advertising is going.
How we use cookies
We use cookies for a number of things across the Craftybase website and Craftybase, including:
| What the cookie is used for | More Details | What type of cookie? |

| Logging you into Craftybase | To log you into Craftybase, we need to store a temporary cookie. This cookie will be automatically deleted after 20-minutes of inactivity, or after you log out. | First-Party |
| Auto-logging you into Craftybase | By checking "Remember Me" you choose to store a permanent cookie that allows you to access Craftybase without logging in each time. Be careful when you use this option, and only check this when you’re confident that your computer is secure. | First-Party |
| Recognising you as a return visitor | Using analytics software and a cookie, we can tell that you’ve visited Craftybase before, which helps us understand what parts of the site you’re coming back to see. | First-Party |
| Monitoring website traffic and video traffic. | We want to know which parts of our site are popular, so we use a cookie to analyse traffic as it moves around the Craftybase website. | First-Party and Third-Party (including Google) |
| Reminding you of Craftybase elsewhere | Many third parties such as weblogs, newspapers, search engines and other sites online will use a cookie to check if you’ve visited Craftybase lately, as part of a service that we use. If you have visited us, the third party will show you an advertising message on their website with Craftybase’s latest big news. | Third-Party (including Google) |
| Understanding how people found us | We want to know how Craftybase caught your eye, so we use a cookie to understand how you found Craftybase when you visit. | First-Party. |
| Customizing Craftybase to you | While you use Craftybase to do your books and inventory, we set a number of cookies that customize the Craftybase experience for you - for example, when you choose to show 50 projects per page, we’ll set a cookie to reflect that. | First-Party |

Personal information and cookies:
