Cookie Policy

Last updated 2026-09-29

Dressmaker Hub is the unofficial fan-made guide for Dressmaker — your go-to resource for pattern recipes, fabric guides, beginner walkthroughs, and customer order strategies.

What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. They help websites remember your preferences, analyze how you use the site, and (for advertising) personalize the ads you see. This Site also uses LocalStorage (a browser feature similar to cookies) for calculator state — see Section 4 below.

Cookies We Use

1. Essential Cookies (Strictly Necessary)

These cookies are necessary for the basic operation of our Site. They are set by Cloudflare (our CDN and hosting provider) for security, load balancing, routing, and core site functionality. These cookies cannot be switched off without disabling site access.

Provider: Cloudflare Duration: Session / up to 24 hours (Cloudflare default) Data processed: IP address, TLS handshake metadata, country-level geolocation, request routing Provider policy: Cloudflare Privacy Policy

2. Analytics Cookies (Only If Enabled)

We may enable Google Analytics 4 (GA4) to understand how visitors use our Site. All data collected is anonymous and aggregated.

Provider: Google Data collected: Pages visited, time spent, device type, browser type, referring URL, country (anonymized) Duration: Up to 14 months (GA4 default retention) Cookie names: _ga, _ga_<Measurement-ID> Opt-out: Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on OR install Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on Provider policy: Google Privacy Policy

Status: GA4 may or may not be enabled at any given time. Check our Privacy Policy for the current status. If not enabled, no GA cookies are set.

3. Advertising Cookies (Only If Enabled)

If we enable advertising, Google AdSense will set cookies to deliver relevant (or personalized) ads and to measure ad performance.

Provider: Google (AdSense) Data collected: Browsing behavior, interests, demographic signals (anonymized), ad interactions Duration: Varies (typically 30 days to 1 year for ad cookies; up to 13 months for AdSense measurement cookies) Opt-out:

Provider policy: Google Privacy Policy

Status: AdSense may or may not be enabled. The current status will be reflected in our Privacy Policy §3.

4. LocalStorage (Calculator State — Not a Cookie, But Listed for Transparency)

The Commission Solver may use your browser's LocalStorage to remember your selected fabric, pattern preferences, or other inputs within a single session or across sessions. This is not a cookie and is not transmitted to our servers.

Storage location: Your browser only (e.g., dressmaker.top origin) Data stored: Calculator inputs and selections (e.g., last fabric type chosen) Clearing: Clear via browser settings → Privacy/Security → Clear browsing data → "Cookies and site data" for dressmaker.top

Cookies We Do NOT Use

This Site does not use:

  • Social media tracking pixels (Facebook Pixel, X/Twitter pixel, TikTok pixel, LinkedIn Insight Tag, etc.)
  • Session recording cookies (Microsoft Clarity, Hotjar, FullStory, LogRocket, etc.)
  • A/B testing platforms that set cookies (Optimizely, VWO, Google Optimize successor, etc.)
  • Chat widget cookies (Intercom, Drift, Crisp, Tawk, etc.) — no chat widget is present
  • Cross-site advertising networks beyond Google (no Criteo, Taboola, Outbrain, etc.)
  • Email collection services (no Mailchimp, ConvertKit, Substack embed, etc.)

This list reflects the Site's design as a minimal content + tool resource. Any future additions to this list will trigger an update to this Cookie Policy before activation.

Do Not Track

We currently do not respond to "Do Not Track" (DNT) browser signals as there is no industry-wide standard. You can opt out of specific services individually:

You can also use the Global Privacy Control (GPC) signal where supported by your browser; we will honor GPC by disabling personalized advertising cookies where applicable.

Managing Your Cookies

You can control or delete cookies through your browser settings. Note that disabling essential Cloudflare cookies may break core site functionality (routing, DDoS protection, TLS).

Disabling essential cookies may break site functionality. Analytics and advertising cookies can be disabled without affecting core site features.

Third-Party Service Links

Updates

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time. Significant changes (e.g., adding new cookie-setting services) will be posted with an updated "Last updated" date and reflected in the Privacy Policy.
