This privacy policy describes how The Quinfall Crafting Workshop("the site", "we") handles information when you visit quinfallcrafting.com. The short version: we do not run a backend and we do not collect or store personal information on our servers. The site uses Google Analytics for traffic measurement and Google AdSense to serve advertising; both of those use cookies, described in detail below.
What We Store Locally On Your Device
The site is a fully client-side application. When you use features like the inventory tracker, profession settings, theme preference, language, or favorited recipes, that information is saved in your browser'slocalStorage under keys prefixed with quinfall-. This data never leaves your device and is never transmitted to any server controlled by us.
You can clear this data at any time by clearing your browser's site data for quinfallcrafting.com, or by using the export/clear controls in the in-app Settings tab.
What We Do Not Collect
- We do not require accounts and do not collect names, email addresses, or passwords.
- We do not have a server-side database of users or inventories.
- We do not sell or share user data with anyone (because we have none to share).
Third-Party Services We Use
Google Analytics
We use Google Analytics 4 (measurement ID G-PYKYJYQ9D1) to understand aggregate traffic patterns — which pages get visited, where visitors come from, and roughly how long they stay. Google Analytics sets cookies (typically _ga and _ga_*) and may collect your IP address (which Google anonymizes), browser/device type, referrer URL, and pages viewed. See Google's Privacy Policyfor details, and you can opt out site-wide by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.
Google AdSense
We use Google AdSense (publisher ID ca-pub-2052895629993345) to display advertisements on the site. AdSense and its third-party vendors use cookies (including the DoubleClick DART cookie) to serve ads based on your prior visits to this site or other websites. You can opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings, or you can opt out of some third-party vendors' use of cookies for personalized advertising by visiting www.aboutads.info.
Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on a user's prior visits to this and other websites. Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to users based on their visit to our site and/or other sites on the Internet.
Ko-fi
We embed the Ko-fifloating support widget (loaded from storage.ko-fi.com) so visitors can optionally tip the project. The widget itself is a button — it does not set tracking cookies just by being on the page. If you click the button and proceed to make a contribution, you will be interacting with Ko-fi's site directly, which has its own cookies, analytics, and payment processors (Stripe and PayPal). See Ko-fi's privacy policyfor what they collect during a donation.
Netlify Hosting
The site is hosted on Netlify, which may log standard server information (IP addresses, request timestamps, browser user agents) for security and operational purposes. See Netlify's privacy policyfor details.
Cookies Summary
- Strictly necessary: none beyond what your browser uses to load the site.
- Analytics: Google Analytics cookies (
_ga,_ga_PYKYJYQ9D1). - Advertising: Google AdSense / DoubleClick cookies for ad serving and personalization.
You can disable cookies in your browser settings, though doing so may affect how the site looks for you (for example, your saved theme preference relies on localStorage, which most browsers control under the same setting).
Users in the European Economic Area (GDPR)
If you are visiting from the EEA or UK, the lawful basis for our limited processing is your consent (for analytics and personalized advertising) and our legitimate interest (in operating the site). You have the right to withdraw consent for personalized ads at any time via Google Ads Settings. Because we hold no personal data on our servers, we have no records to export or delete on your behalf.
Users in California (CCPA)
We do not sell personal information. We do not knowingly collect personal information from California residents through our own systems.
Children
The site is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children.
Changes To This Policy
We may update this policy from time to time as the site or the third-party services we use change. The "Last updated" date at the top will reflect the most recent revision.
