Craft Kettle Brewing Equipment ("we," "us," or "our") uses cookies and similar tracking technologies on craftkettle.com (the "Site"). This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are, how we use them, and how you can manage your preferences.
What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They help the site remember your actions and preferences (such as your shopping cart and language) over a period of time, so you don't have to re-enter them each time you visit or navigate between pages.
How We Use Cookies
We use cookies in three categories:
1. Essential Cookies
These cookies are necessary for the Site to function and cannot be switched off. They are set in response to actions you take, such as adding items to your cart, logging into your account, or setting your privacy preferences.

ck_cookie_consent |

2. Analytics Cookies
These cookies help us understand how visitors interact with the Site by collecting information about pages visited, time spent on the site, and any errors encountered. This data is aggregated and anonymized and helps us improve our website.
| Cookie | Provider | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
_ga |
Google Analytics | Distinguishes unique visitors | 2 years |
_ga_* |
Google Analytics | Maintains session state | 2 years |
3. Marketing Cookies
These cookies are used to deliver advertisements relevant to you and to measure the effectiveness of our advertising campaigns. They track your browsing activity across websites to build a profile of your interests.
| Cookie | Provider | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
_gcl_au |

Google Consent Mode
We use Google Consent Mode v2 (Advanced) to integrate our cookie consent banner with Google services. When you decline analytics or marketing cookies, Google adjusts its behavior:
- No identifying cookies are stored on your device.
- Cookieless pings may still be sent to Google for aggregate measurement and conversion modeling, but these do not contain personally identifiable information and cannot be used to track you individually.
Managing Your Preferences
When you first visit the Site, a cookie consent banner appears at the bottom of the page. You can:
- Accept All — enables all cookie categories.
- Reject All — disables analytics and marketing cookies; only essential cookies remain.
- Customize — opens a preferences panel where you toggle each category on or off.
You can change your preferences at any time by clicking the "Cookie Settings"
link in the site footer, or by clearing the ck_cookie_consent
cookie from your browser (the banner will reappear on your next visit).
Browser-Level Controls
Most web browsers allow you to manage cookies through their settings. You can typically find these options in your browser's "Privacy" or "Security" settings. Note that blocking all cookies may impact your experience on the Site (for example, your shopping cart may not persist between pages).
Your Rights
For EU/EEA Visitors (GDPR)
Under the General Data Protection Regulation, we process cookie data based on your consent. You have the right to:
- Withdraw consent at any time via the cookie preferences panel.
- Request access to the personal data we hold about you.
- Request deletion of your personal data.
- Lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority.
For California Residents (CCPA/CPRA)
Under the California Consumer Privacy Act and the California Privacy Rights Act, you have the right to:
- Know what personal information is collected and how it is used.
- Opt out of the sale or sharing of your personal information.
- Request deletion of your personal information.
- Not be discriminated against for exercising your privacy rights.
Our cookie consent banner functions as a "Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information" mechanism. Rejecting marketing cookies prevents the sharing of your data with advertising partners.
