This Cookie Policy explains how CraftRevenue ("we," "us," or the "Service") uses cookies and similar technologies when you visit our website at https://craftrevenue.com.
1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files stored on your device (computer, tablet, or mobile phone) when you visit a website. They help websites remember information about your visit, such as your login status and preferences.
2. Types of Cookies We Use
2.1 Strictly Necessary Cookies
These cookies are essential for the operation of the Service. Without them, core features such as user authentication would not function.
| Cookie Provider | Purpose | Duration | Consent Required? |
|---|---|---|---|
| Google Firebase Authentication | Manages secure user login sessions. Identifies you as a logged-in user as you navigate the Service. | Session / Persistent | No (strictly necessary) |
Cloudflare Turnstile (cf_clearance, __cf_bm) |
Bot protection on login and signup forms. Validates that the visitor is a human, not an automated script. | Session / up to 30 minutes | No (strictly necessary for security) |
Google OAuth (via accounts.google.com) |
Temporary session cookies set by Google during the "Continue with Google" sign-in flow. Managed entirely by Google, expire after the OAuth flow completes. | Session (typically 5-15 minutes) | No (strictly necessary for authentication) |
Legal basis: These cookies are exempt from consent requirements under ePrivacy Directive Article 5(3) because they are strictly necessary to provide the service you have requested.
2.2 Analytics Cookies
We use analytics cookies to understand how visitors interact with our website. This helps us improve the Service and user experience.
| Cookie Provider | Purpose | Duration | Consent Required? |
|---|---|---|---|
| Google Analytics 4 (GA4) | Collects anonymized usage data: pages visited, session duration, device type, approximate geographic region. We use Google's Consent Mode v2, which limits data collection when consent is not granted. | Up to 2 years | Yes |
Important: We have configured Google Analytics with the following privacy settings:
- Ad storage: Denied (we do not use advertising cookies)
- Ad user data: Denied
- Ad personalization: Denied
- Analytics storage: Denied by default. Granted only after you accept analytics cookies via our cookie consent banner.
We do not use cookies for advertising, remarketing, or cross-site tracking.
2.3 Functional / Performance Cookies
| Cookie Provider | Purpose | Duration | Consent Required? |
|---|---|---|---|
| Sentry | Error monitoring. Captures technical error information when something goes wrong, to help us fix bugs. Does not track browsing behavior. | Session | No (legitimate interest in service reliability) |
| Cloudflare | Security. Identifies trusted traffic and protects against malicious bots and DDoS attacks. | Session / up to 1 day | No (strictly necessary for security) |
3. Your Choices
Cookie Consent Banner
When you first visit our website, a cookie consent banner appears at the bottom of the page. You can choose to:
- Accept — analytics cookies (Google Analytics) will be enabled, allowing us to collect anonymized usage data to improve the Service.
- Decline — analytics cookies will remain disabled. Google Analytics will operate in limited, cookieless mode and will not store any cookies on your device.
Your choice is saved in your browser and the banner will not appear again. To change your preference, clear your browser's local storage for craftrevenue.com and revisit the site.
Regardless of your choice, all Service features work normally. Strictly necessary cookies (including Firebase Authentication, Cloudflare Turnstile on login and registration, and temporary Google OAuth cookies during sign-in) are not affected by this setting.
Browser Settings
Most web browsers allow you to control cookies through their settings. You can block or delete cookies at any time. Please note:
- If you block strictly necessary cookies (Firebase Authentication), you will be unable to log in and use the Service.
- If you block Cloudflare Turnstile cookies, you will be unable to complete login or sign-up (including Google Sign-In), as bot verification will fail.
- If you block analytics cookies (Google Analytics), your visit will not be tracked, but all Service features will continue to work normally.
Opt-Out of Google Analytics
You can opt out of Google Analytics by:
- Installing the Google Analytics Opt-Out Browser Add-on
- Using a browser extension that blocks tracking scripts
4. Third-Party Cookies
We do not allow any third-party advertising networks to place cookies on our website. The only third-party cookies present are those from the service providers listed in Section 2—including authentication (Firebase), bot protection (Cloudflare Turnstile on login and signup), temporary cookies from Google during the OAuth sign-in flow when you use Google Sign-In, analytics (Google Analytics, subject to consent), error monitoring (Sentry), and CDN/security (Cloudflare)—all of which are necessary for the operation, security, or improvement of the Service.
5. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time. Changes will be posted on this page with a new "Last Updated" date.
