As a rule, cookies will make your browsing experience better, but you may wish to disable them.

The cookies this site uses include:

Strictly necessary cookies

These are cookies that enable this site to function as it does. An example of a cookie like this is called “DYNSRV” which is used for load balancing to manage server traffic demand. Another example is “wordfence_verifiedHuman”, this is a security cookie which identifies whether a visitor is a bot or human.

www.craftaholique.com wouldn’t work properly without strictly necessary cookies, therefore they cannot be disabled.

Persistent (first-party) cookies

These are cookies that aren’t strictly necessary but are used for performance and can improve your browsing experience. Persistent cookies stick around for a while, so when you turn your computer off and on again, they will still be there. Each persistent cookie has an expiry date and after that date is reached, it will be destroyed by your computer.

An example of this type of cookie is “_ga”. This is a cookie associated with Google Analytics, an anonymous data tracking system this site uses to determine how many people visit this site, the country they are from and which pages they are landing on.

Another example of a persistent cookie is “AWSESS”. This is a tracking cookie from an advertising intermediary called AWIN. In most of the blog posts on www.craftaholique.com, you’ll find links to websites where you can buy different materials to make craft projects using this site’s affiliate links (which are always disclosed).

Work in progress! A new pattern I'm working on. Lo Work in progress! A new pattern I'm working on. Loving the metallic green colour. 😍 #beads #beadwork #peyote #bracelets #braceletpattern #peyotestitch #jewellerymaking #crafts #crafting
Hi all! It's been a very long time since I've post Hi all! It's been a very long time since I've posted here. I've been working on a new venture - surface pattern design. This is my first attempt at a seamless pattern. It's part of a collection I'm working on called 'Mum's Garden'. Mum loved hedgehogs, and they always frequented her garden to enjoy the food she put out for them. 😍 Honest opinions! What do you think? Could this work for wrapping paper, notebook covers, etc? Thanks for looking! #surfacepatterndesign #creativebusiness #creativeentrepreneur #graphicdesign #digitalart #hedgehogs #patterns #seamlesspattern
