Fabrics – Cookie Policy

January 2026

This Cookie Policy explains how Fabrics uses cookies and similar technologies across our Services. Read it with our Privacy Policy to understand how we handle data, including age-based safeguards.

1. What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files stored on your browser or device when you visit a website or use an app. They help remember information like your login status or preferences. We also use similar technologies—local storage, pixels, SDKs, and device identifiers. We refer to them collectively as “cookies.” Cookies may be first-party (set by Fabrics) or third-party (set by service providers such as analytics or advertising partners).

2. Why we use cookies

  • Provide and operate the Services securely.
  • Remember your preferences and settings.
  • Enable core features such as login, messaging, and voting.
  • Understand how people use Fabrics and improve performance.
  • Detect abuse, fraud, and security risks.
  • Show ads and sponsored content (subject to your choices and age-based protections).

3. Types of cookies we use

3.1 Strictly necessary cookies

Essential for the Services to function properly and securely. They keep you logged in, maintain your session, protect against fraudulent activity, and enable core site functionality. If you block these, some parts of Fabrics may not work.

3.2 Functional cookies

Enable enhanced functionality and personalization (e.g., language/display preferences, accessibility settings, consistent UI preferences). Disabling them may reduce feature quality.

3.3 Analytics and performance cookies

Help us understand how users interact with Fabrics so we can measure and improve performance, including visit counts, traffic sources, and navigation patterns. We use aggregated/anonymized data where possible.

3.4 Advertising and sponsored content cookies

Used to show ads and sponsored content, measure campaign effectiveness, and limit ad frequency. We do not sell your personal data. For users aged 13–17, ads may be shown but behavioral/interest-based targeting is restricted and additional safeguards apply.

4. Third-party cookies

We work with trusted third-party providers (analytics, advertising/measurement, security/fraud prevention) who may set cookies on our Services. Their cookies are governed by their own privacy and cookie policies.

5. Cookies on third-party sites

Our analytics or advertising technologies (e.g., pixels or SDKs) may also appear on third-party sites/apps run by partners. When you visit those sites, cookies may be set by those third parties. We do not control cookie placement on third-party sites.

6. How you can control cookies

6.1 Browser settings

Most browsers let you view, delete, or block cookies. Blocking may impact Fabrics functionality. See your browser’s help: Mozilla Firefox, Apple Safari, Google Chrome, Microsoft Edge.

6.2 Mobile device settings

Your device may let you limit ad tracking or personalized ads (e.g., iOS: “Allow Apps to Request to Track”, Android: “Opt out of Ads Personalization”).

6.3 Advertising industry opt-outs

You can opt out of certain interest-based advertising via Network Advertising Initiative (NAI), Digital Advertising Alliance (DAA), and European Interactive Digital Advertising Alliance (EDAA). Some analytics providers also offer opt-out tools.

6.4 Fabrics settings

Where available, manage privacy and advertising preferences directly in Fabrics account settings.

7. Updates to this Cookie Policy

We may update this policy to reflect changes in law, technology, or how we use cookies. We’ll update the “Last updated” date and provide notice where required.
