Who we are

First Row Crochet (lifeafter4.online) is a crochet website. It shares crochet patterns, finished projects and notes on techniques. This policy explains what information the site collects, why, and the choices you have.

What we collect

Messages you send us. If you use the contact form or email us, we receive your name, email address and message. We use them only to reply, and we do not add you to a mailing list without asking.

Visit data. Like most websites, our hosting servers record technical details of each visit, such as IP address, browser type and the pages requested. We also use analytics tools, such as Google Analytics, to see which pages are read and how visitors find the site. These tools set cookies and collect usage data such as pages viewed, device type and approximate location.

Cookies

Cookies are small files stored in your browser. We and our partners use them to keep the site working, to measure traffic and, where ads are shown, to deliver and measure advertising. You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings. The site still works without them, though some features may not.

Advertising

We may show ads through Google AdSense. Google and its partners use cookies to show ads based on your previous visits to this and other websites. You can opt out of personalised advertising at Google Ads Settings or at aboutads.info. More about how Google uses data from sites that use its services is at policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites.

Links to other sites

Posts may link to other websites, such as yarn shops or social networks. We are not responsible for their content or privacy practices, so please read their policies.

How long we keep information

Messages are kept only as long as needed to answer them. Analytics data is kept according to the settings of the analytics service.

Your rights

Depending on where you live, you may have the right to ask what personal information we hold about you, to have it corrected or deleted, and to object to how it is used. Write to us at the address below and we will respond.
