This page describes cookies and trackers that may be used on TuftingGunLab.com, in line with applicable privacy regulations and US state privacy laws.
Your consent
On your first visit, a cookie banner (CMP) lets you accept, reject, or customize non-essential cookies. Rejecting is as easy as accepting. Without your consent, we do not load Google Tag Manager, Google Analytics, or Google AdSense.
You can change your choice anytime via the “Manage cookies” link in the site footer. Withdrawing consent reloads the page to stop active tags.
After consent, we use Google Consent Mode v2 to enable only the categories you approved (analytics and/or advertising).
What is a cookie?
A cookie is a small file stored on your device. It can remember preferences, measure traffic, or support ad delivery.
Cookies and tools we use
1. Strictly necessary
No consent required. These support site operation and cookie preference storage.
- cma_consent (first-party, ~180 days): stores your consent choice. Set by our cookie banner.
- WordPress technical / session cookies (admin login, security) where applicable.
2. Analytics
Consent required. Loaded only if you accept “Analytics”.
- Google Tag Manager (GTM) — loads tags based on your consent.
- Google Analytics 4 (GA4) — page views and traffic measurement. Google cookies (_ga, etc.) may be set after consent.
3. Advertising (AdSense)
Consent required. Google AdSense loads only after you accept “Advertising”. Google ad cookies may then be set for ad delivery.
4. Affiliate tracking
When you click a merchant link (Amazon, Etsy, Walmart), you may pass through an internal /go/ redirect. We may log timestamp, merchant, and product (click measurement, fraud prevention). Merchant sites may set their own affiliate cookies under their policies.
Managing preferences
- Cookie banner on first visit
- “Manage cookies” link in the footer
- Browser settings to block or delete cookies
Rejecting non-essential cookies does not block site access. Analytics and ads simply will not load.
