Essential cookies
Stitchpad uses essential cookies for login sessions, security tokens, form protection and keeping your account area working.
Without these, member features such as uploads, downloads and messages would not work safely.
Cookie Policy
Cookies are tiny notes the site keeps so it can remember useful things, like whether you are signed in or which security check belongs to your form.
Preference cookies
Where features need it, Stitchpad may remember practical choices so the site feels easier to use on your next visit.
These are used for convenience rather than advertising.
Security and logs
Security settings may record IP addresses and browser details for sign-ins, registration, downloads and blocked actions.
This helps protect member accounts and the pattern library.
Google and adverts
If ads or Google services are enabled by the site owner, those services may use their own cookies according to their own policies.
Ad sections can be managed from the admin area.
Social login
If Google or Facebook login is enabled, the provider may use cookies during its own sign-in process.
Stitchpad receives only the account details needed to sign you in or link your member account.
Your browser controls
You can clear or block cookies in your browser settings. Blocking essential cookies may stop login, uploads, downloads and forms from working correctly.
A simple cookie promise
Stitchpad uses cookies to keep the site working, protect members and make the experience smoother. They are not here to make the site feel noisy.
