Cookies are small files a website saves in your browser. This page explains which cookies Crafter’s Market UK uses, why we use them, and how you can change your choices.
Cookies we always use
Some cookies are needed for the site to work. They keep items in your basket, keep you signed in, help take card payments safely and remember your cookie choices. The law allows these without asking first, so you can’t switch them off here. You can block them in your browser settings, but the basket, checkout and your account will then stop working.
Cookies we only use if you agree
- Analytics cookies show us how people use the site, such as which pages are visited, so we and our makers can improve it.
- Marketing cookies measure whether adverts work, including the sponsored listings makers pay for and any adverts we run on other sites.
These stay off until you choose to allow them in the cookie banner. You can change your choice at any time.
