Cookies are small text files a website can place on your device. Similar browser technologies, including local storage, can remember information between visits. In this policy, “cookies” includes these related technologies unless we say otherwise.

Our website uses limited first-party browser storage to provide features you request. With your consent, it also uses Google Analytics 4 to measure how visitors use the site. We do not use advertising cookies or behavioural advertising trackers.

• Theme preference: the “hs_theme” local-storage entry remembers whether you selected light or dark display mode. It remains until you change the setting or clear site data.
• Blog bookmarks: local storage may remember articles you bookmark. This information stays in your browser and is not submitted to us by the bookmark feature.
• Consent preference: the “byon_cookie_consent_v1” local-storage entry records whether you accepted or rejected analytics so we can respect your choice on later visits.
• Google Analytics 4: if you accept analytics, Google may set cookies such as “_ga” and “_ga_*” and process information about visits, pages, approximate location, browser, device and referrer. We use measurement ID G-B5YHLEX98N to understand site performance and improve our content.
• Essential delivery and security: our hosting or form infrastructure may use short-lived identifiers or process technical request data to deliver pages, prevent abuse, and submit forms reliably.

Some pages may link to or embed content from third parties. If you open or interact with that content, the third party may collect technical data or set its own cookies under its privacy terms. We use privacy-enhanced YouTube links where configured, but playback or interaction may still allow YouTube to process information.

You can use your browser settings to view, block, or delete cookies and local storage for byontextile.com. Blocking essential storage may affect theme preferences, bookmarks, forms, or other site functions. Browser controls differ, so consult your browser’s help documentation for current instructions.

The consent banner lets you accept or reject analytics cookies. After making a choice, use the “Cookie settings” button at the bottom of any page to change it. Rejecting or withdrawing consent disables future analytics collection and removes accessible Google Analytics cookies from this site. You can also clear existing cookies in your browser.

Some browsers offer “Do Not Track” or Global Privacy Control signals. There is not one universally applicable response standard for every signal and jurisdiction. We do not sell or share personal information for cross-context behavioural advertising, and we will assess recognised signals as legal requirements and our website features evolve.

We may revise this policy when site technology or legal requirements change. The effective date above identifies the current version. You can also read our Privacy Policy for more detail about how we handle personal information.
