Privacy Policy

Paper Folk Studio provides direct template downloads without an account or email address. Google Analytics is optional and only loads after a visitor accepts analytics measurement. The site is delivered through Cloudflare, and Cloudflare Browser Insights loads independently to measure site performance and reliability. The site has applied to Google AdSense, but display ads are not active while the application is under review.

The useful part

How data is handled on this site

01

Optional Google Analytics

If you accept analytics, Google Analytics may receive usage information such as page views, approximate location derived from IP address, device and browser data, and interactions with filters, downloads, and links. Google may set or read analytics cookies after that choice.

02

Cloudflare delivery

Cloudflare helps deliver and secure the site. Its network may process IP addresses, request details, and security signals in server logs.

03

Cloudflare Browser Insights

Cloudflare Browser Insights / RUM loads by default and may collect performance, device, browser, network, and page-load information so slow or failing pages can be diagnosed. This is separate from the Google Analytics choice.

04

No accounts or mailing lists

The site does not provide accounts or an email signup form. Direct SVG downloads require no personal information. If you email the contact address, the sender address and message are used to review and respond to that request.

05

Google AdSense review

The site is registered with Google AdSense and is awaiting review. Display advertising code is not active. If AdSense is approved and enabled, this policy will apply to Google advertising cookies, consent choices, and participating ad technology providers as described below.

06

Advertising cookies and providers

When AdSense is enabled on an eligible page, Google and participating ad technology providers may use cookies or similar storage and process the page URL, IP-derived general location, device or browser information, and ad interactions to deliver, limit, secure, and measure advertising.

07

Personalized and non-personalized ads

Depending on region, consent, account eligibility, and Google settings, ads may be personalized or non-personalized. Non-personalized ads may still use contextual information such as the current page, general location, language, or device type and may use storage for frequency control, fraud prevention, and measurement.

08

Google-certified consent message

For visitors in the EEA, the United Kingdom, and Switzerland, the selected Google-certified CMP presents Consent, Do not consent, and Manage options. Its privacy and cookie settings link can be used to revisit or withdraw an advertising choice.

09

Children's tutorial exclusion

The Easy Chinese Paper Cutting for Kids tutorial is designated as an ad-free and analytics-free page. Paper Folk Studio will not intentionally request personalized advertising or Google Analytics measurement on that URL.

010

External links

Links to Google controls and other websites are governed by the destination service after you leave Paper Folk Studio.

Choices and retention

Control measurement and limit what you share

Analytics choice

The consent prompt lets you accept or reject Google Analytics. Rejecting analytics does not prevent access to the craft guides or direct downloads.

Advertising choice

If AdSense is approved and enabled, visitors covered by the European regulations message can consent, refuse consent, or manage individual purposes and providers. Google advertising controls and browser settings provide additional ways to limit personalization and stored cookies.

Cloudflare measurement

Cloudflare Browser Insights is part of the site delivery and performance-monitoring setup. It is not controlled by the Google Analytics accept/reject choice.

Google controls

Google provides Ads Settings, information about how it uses data from partner sites, an Analytics opt-out browser add-on, and account-level privacy controls. Links to those official resources appear below.

Retention and children

Paper Folk Studio does not knowingly request personal information from children. Contact messages may be retained as needed to investigate and respond; do not email names of children or sensitive classroom information. Google Analytics and Cloudflare retain data according to their own settings and policies.
