Cookie Policy

What Are Cookies

Cookies are small text files that a website places on your device when you visit it. They allow the site to remember your actions and preferences over a period of time, so you do not have to re-enter information as you move from page to page or return to the site later. Cookies are widely used across the web to make sites work more efficiently and to provide information to site owners.

There are different types of cookies. Session cookies are temporary and are deleted when you close your browser, while persistent cookies remain on your device until they expire or you delete them. Cookies can be set by the site you are visiting (first-party cookies) or by other services embedded on the site (third-party cookies). This policy explains how Brewer Quilt & Design uses cookies and similar technologies and how you can control them.

How We Use Cookies

We use cookies for three broad purposes: to make the website function, to understand how it is used, and, where you consent, to deliver relevant content. Strictly necessary cookies are required for core functionality such as security and form submission, and they cannot be disabled through our cookie banner. Analytics cookies help us understand aggregate patterns of use so we can improve the site. Marketing cookies, where enabled, support relevant advertising.

On your first visit to our site, a cookie banner appears so you can choose which categories of cookies to allow. Your choice is stored locally on your device, so the banner does not reappear while that stored preference remains. You can later change your preferences at any time through your browser settings, or by clearing the stored consent, which will cause the banner to appear again. Where consent is required, analytics and marketing cookies are only set after you have allowed them.

Types of Cookies We Use

The following table summarizes the categories of cookies used on our site, their purpose, their approximate duration, and whether they are set by us or by a third party. Specific cookie names may change as we update our tools; the categories below describe what each type does.

Category	Purpose	Duration	Third-Party
Strictly Necessary	Required for the website to function, including security, form submission, and remembering your cookie consent choice.	Session or up to several months for the consent record.	No (first-party)
Analytics	Aggregate measurement of how visitors use the site (pages viewed, time on site) to help us improve it.	Up to 24 months, depending on the tool.	Yes (only with your consent)
Marketing	Used to deliver relevant advertising and measure the performance of advertising campaigns.	Up to several months, depending on the provider.	Yes (only with your consent)

Strictly necessary cookies are always enabled when you use our site, and you cannot disable them through our banner because they are essential to basic operation. Analytics and marketing cookies are optional, and no data is collected through them unless you actively allow them through the cookie banner.

Third-Party Cookies

Some features on our site may be provided by third parties that set their own cookies when you interact with them. For example, an embedded Google Maps map on our Contact page may set cookies or collect usage data when you interact with the map. Where we use an analytics provider, it may set cookies to measure aggregate usage, but only if you have consented through our cookie banner. Marketing providers, if used, similarly set cookies only with your consent.

These third parties operate under their own privacy and cookie policies, which govern how they use the information they collect. We do not control and are not responsible for their practices. If you would like to limit third-party cookies, you can do so through your browser settings, through the consent tools provided by those third parties, or by declining analytics and marketing cookies in our banner. We encourage you to review the policies of any third-party service you interact with on our site.

Managing and Refusing Cookies

You can manage cookies in several ways. On our site, the cookie banner that appears on your first visit lets you accept all cookies, reject all optional cookies, or customize your preferences by category. When you choose "Customize," you can enable or disable analytics and marketing cookies individually and save your selection. We store your consent choice locally on your device so it is remembered the next time you visit, and you can revisit the banner later by clearing that stored consent.

You can also control cookies directly through your web browser. Most modern browsers let you view, delete, and block cookies, and many offer settings that block third-party cookies by default or warn you before a cookie is set. Keep in mind that disabling strictly necessary cookies may prevent parts of the site from working correctly, such as submitting a contact or quote form. If you block cookies and then find that a feature does not work as expected, you may need to allow cookies for that feature and try again. For detailed instructions, consult your browser's help documentation.

Updates to This Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in the cookies we use, the services we rely on, or applicable legal requirements. When we make material changes, we will update the "Last updated" date at the top of this page so you can see when the policy was last revised. We encourage you to review this page periodically to stay informed about how we use cookies. If we begin using a new category of optional cookies, we will seek your consent through the cookie banner before those cookies are set.
