What this site collects
This website is informational. We do not collect personal information through forms or accounts. We use two analytics services to understand how the site is used, described below. Neither is used for advertising.
Google Analytics
We use Google Analytics 4 to see which pages people visit, how they arrived, and roughly where they are (city or country level). It sets two cookies on your browser:
| Cookie | Purpose | Lasts |
|---|---|---|
_ga | Tells Google Analytics that separate page views come from the same browser. Contains a random ID, not your name or email. | 2 years |
_ga_KC6V05WG48 | Keeps track of the current browsing session for this site. | 2 years |
Google Analytics 4 does not log or store IP addresses. Google's use of this data is covered by Google's privacy policy. You can opt out with the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on, or by blocking cookies in your browser; the site works fine without them.
Cloudflare Web Analytics
The site is hosted on Cloudflare, and Cloudflare Web Analytics records aggregate page views and load times. It does not set cookies, does not store anything in your browser, and does not fingerprint or track you across sites. Details are in Cloudflare's privacy policy.
Cookies and your choice
Cookies are small text files stored on your device. The only cookies this site can set are the two Google Analytics cookies listed above, and it only sets them after you tap Accept on the banner shown on your first visit. If you decline, Google Analytics runs in a cookieless mode that sends anonymous, aggregate pings and stores nothing on your device. There are no advertising, social media, or tracking cookies.
Your choice is remembered in your browser's local storage under the name dm-consent, which is the one piece of storage the site needs to avoid asking you again. You can change your mind at any time:
Links to Etsy
Every product on this site links to our Etsy shop, BandlyStore, where purchases are made. Once you are on Etsy you are covered by Etsy's privacy policy. We do not see or store any payment or account information you give Etsy. Links carry a plain referral tag so we can tell that a visit came from this site; it contains nothing about you.
What we do not do
- Collect names, email addresses or contact details on this site
- Store payment information
- Use advertising cookies or tracking pixels
- Sell or share data with third parties
- Track you across other websites
Your rights
Because we collect no personal data directly, there is nothing for us to access, correct or delete. The analytics data described above is held by Google and Cloudflare under their own policies, and you can opt out of Google Analytics using the link above. Questions are welcome through our Etsy shop.

We may update this page occasionally. The date at the top shows the last change.
