Cookie Policy
What Cookies Are
Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. They serve different purposes: some are essential for the site to function, others help us understand how readers use the site. This policy explains which cookies Furlongcraft uses and how you can control them.
Strictly Necessary Cookies
These cookies are required for the website to operate correctly. They include cookies that remember your cookie consent preference so the banner does not reappear on every page, and any cookies set by our hosting provider for security or load-balancing purposes. Strictly necessary cookies cannot be disabled without breaking core site functionality.
Analytics Cookies
We use analytics cookies to understand how readers interact with the site: which pages are visited most, how long readers spend on a page, and where traffic comes from. This data is collected in aggregated, anonymised form. We do not use analytics cookies to identify individual visitors or build personal profiles.
Analytics cookies are placed only after you give consent through the cookie banner. If you decline analytics cookies, they will not be set, and we will not collect usage data from your visit.
Advertising Cookies
Furlongcraft does not use advertising cookies. We do not serve targeted advertisements, and we do not share browsing data with advertising networks.
Third-Party Cookies
Some third-party services used on this site may set their own cookies. Google Fonts, which we use to deliver web typography, may log font requests. If we embed content from external sources in the future, those services may set cookies under their own domain. We do not control third-party cookies, and we encourage you to review the privacy and cookie policies of any third-party service you interact with.
How to Control Cookies
You can manage cookies in several ways.
Cookie banner
When you first visit the site, a cookie banner gives you the option to accept or decline non-essential cookies. Your choice is saved so the banner does not appear on subsequent visits.
Browser settings
All modern browsers allow you to view, delete, and block cookies through their settings. The exact steps vary by browser. Blocking all cookies may affect site functionality, though strictly necessary cookies are minimal on this site.
Opt-out tools
If we use Google Analytics, you can opt out by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on, available at tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.
Cookie Duration
Consent cookies persist for up to 12 months. Analytics cookies typically expire within 24 months of your last visit, depending on the analytics provider’s default settings. Session cookies are deleted when you close your browser.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this cookie policy if we add or remove cookies or change how we use them. The “Last updated” date at the top of this page will reflect the most recent revision.

For broader information about how we handle personal data, see our Privacy Policy. If you have questions about cookies on this site, you can reach us via Furlongcraft.
