What Cookies Are

Cookies are small text files stored on your device by your browser when you visit a website, allowing the site to recognize your device on subsequent visits or to remember certain choices you have made. They do not typically contain personally identifying information on their own, but they can be used alongside other data to understand how visitors interact with a site.

Cookies This Site Sets

Thistle & Seam sets a small number of cookies, including a consent cookie that remembers your cookie preference so we do not need to ask again on every visit, and analytics cookies that help us understand which articles and categories readers find most useful, measured in aggregate and anonymized form where possible. We do not operate a shopping cart, checkout process, or payment system on this site, so no cookies related to transactions or stored payment details are set here.

Managing Cookies in Your Browser and Consent Banner

When you first visit Thistle & Seam, a consent banner allows you to accept or decline non-essential cookies such as analytics, and you may change this choice at any time by clearing your cookie settings and revisiting the site. Most browsers also allow you to block or delete cookies through their privacy or security settings, though disabling all cookies may affect how certain features of the site display or remember your preferences.

Third-Party Services

We may use third-party analytics providers to help us measure site traffic and reader engagement, and these providers may set their own cookies subject to their respective privacy policies. Thistle & Seam does not control how these third parties use the data collected through their cookies beyond the purposes we have authorized, and we encourage readers to review the privacy policies of any linked third-party analytics services for further detail.
