Privacy and site settings
Knitsoul Cookie Policy
This Knitsoul Cookie Policy explains how cookies and similar technologies may be used on knitsoul.net, why they are used, and how you can review or change your choices.
At a glance
Your choices, in plain English
Essential technologies may support security, consent records, page delivery, and features you specifically request.
Where consent is required, analytics, advertising, functional, or embedded-media technologies should remain unavailable until the relevant category is allowed.
Use the Cookie Settings button to review categories, change a previous choice, or withdraw optional consent.
Your preferences
Review your cookie settings
Open the Knitsoul preference center
The preference center shows the categories currently configured for this site. Use it to accept, reject, or adjust optional categories.
The button requires the CookieYes consent banner to be installed and active. Browser controls may also limit or delete cookies, but blocking all storage can affect features you request.
The basics
What cookies and similar technologies do
A cookie is a small piece of data that a website can ask a browser to store on a device. Websites may also use technologies such as local storage, pixels, tags, software development kits, or similar identifiers. In this policy, “cookies” refers to cookies and comparable storage or access technologies.
First-party cookies are associated with the website you are visiting. Third-party technologies are provided by another organization whose service is used on the page.
A cookie may last only for the current browser session or remain until its stated expiry date, until it is replaced, or until you delete it.
Categories
How Knitsoul classifies cookies
A category appears only when a related service or feature is enabled. The table describes possible purposes; it does not claim that every category or example is active on every page.
| Category | Typical purpose | Examples | Choice |
|---|---|---|---|
| Strictly necessary | Supports functions required to deliver a service you request, maintain security, save consent choices, or operate core website features. | Consent records, security controls, session handling, or basic form functions. | Normally active where necessary; not used for optional advertising merely by being placed in this category. |
| Functional | Remembers optional choices or enables enhanced functions that are not required for the basic page to load. | Display preferences, optional media features, or remembered user selections. | Optional where consent or another valid choice is required. |
| Analytics | Measures visits, page use, performance, errors, and aggregated engagement so the site can be evaluated and improved. | Page-view measurement, traffic-source reporting, or technical performance data. | Optional where consent is required; the preference center shows current status. |
| Advertising | Supports ad delivery, frequency control, campaign measurement, fraud prevention, or personalized advertising when those services are enabled. | Ad measurement, interest-based advertising, or advertising partner identifiers. | Optional where consent is required and subject to available opt-out rights. |
| Embedded content | Allows third-party media or interactive content to load. The provider may receive device, browser, network, and interaction information. | Embedded video, social content, maps, or other external media. | Optional where consent is required; declining may leave a placeholder instead. |
Consent model
How consent and withdrawal work
Before optional technologies load
Where prior consent is required, optional categories should be blocked until you make an affirmative choice in the consent interface.
After you make a choice
The consent platform stores a record of the categories you selected so the site can apply that choice on later visits.
When you change your mind
Reopen Cookie Settings to change or withdraw optional consent. A new choice applies going forward; deleting existing cookies may still require browser controls.
When consent is not the only mechanism
Depending on location and technology, additional privacy choices or legal rights may apply. See the Privacy Policy for broader personal-information rights.
Third-party services
Knitsoul may use third-party services for consent management, hosting, security, analytics, email delivery, advertising, or embedded content. A third party may set or access information only when its service is active and the applicable consent or other legal requirement has been addressed.
The current CookieYes preference center is the primary place to review active cookie providers and purposes. This page intentionally does not list analytics, advertising, social, or media providers that have not been enabled and verified.
Third-party services operate under their own privacy terms. Their practices may change independently of Knitsoul, so you should review the provider information shown in the preference center when making a choice.
Browser and device controls
Most browsers allow you to inspect, delete, or block cookies and site data. Browser controls are separate from the Knitsoul preference center. Deleting site data may also remove your saved consent choice, causing the banner to appear again.
Blocking all cookies or local storage can prevent features from working as intended. Settings and labels vary by browser and device, so use the privacy or site-data section of the browser you currently use.
Changes to this policy
Knitsoul may update this policy when site features, providers, cookie categories, consent settings, or legal requirements change. The “Last updated” date at the top identifies the latest published revision.
A CookieYes scan and consent test should be repeated after adding or changing plugins, embeds, analytics, advertising, forms, tag managers, or other services that can store or access information on a visitor’s device.

Common questions
Cookie Policy FAQ
Can I use Knitsoul after rejecting optional cookies?
Core public content should remain available. Features that depend on an optional provider—such as an embedded video, analytics-dependent personalization, or certain advertising functions—may remain unavailable or display a placeholder.
Why did the consent banner appear again?
The saved consent record may have expired, been deleted with browser data, changed because of a policy or category update, or become unavailable in a new browser, profile, or device.
Does rejecting cookies delete cookies already stored?
A revised consent choice applies to future use of optional categories. Some existing data may remain until it expires or is deleted through browser controls. Revisit Cookie Settings and browser site-data controls when you want to remove stored data.
Why does the cookie list change?
WordPress, themes, plugins, embedded services, analytics, advertising, and consent tools can change their storage behavior. Regular scans help keep the active inventory aligned with the current site configuration.
Is the Cookie Policy the same as the Privacy Policy?
No. This page focuses on cookies and related technologies. The Privacy Policy explains broader collection, use, disclosure, retention, and privacy rights relating to personal information.
