Cookie Policy
Last Updated: September 23, 2026
Welcome to Homespun Nook! We believe in being fully transparent about how our website works. To provide you with a smooth, secure, and personalized shopping and selling experience, our website uses cookies.
This page explains what cookies are, exactly how we use them, and how you can manage your preferences.
What Are Cookies?
Cookies are tiny text files that a website saves on your computer or mobile device when you visit. They act as a basic “memory” for the website, allowing it to remember your actions, preferences, and items over a period of time. This way, you don’t have to keep re-entering information every time you come back or browse from one page to another.
How We Use Cookies at Homespun Nook
We only use cookies that are strictly necessary for our website to function properly and to make your experience better. We do not use cookies to track your personal life or follow you across the internet.
Here is a simple breakdown of the cookies active on our site:
1. Essential Shopping Cookies (Strictly Necessary)
Without these, our online store simply would not work. These cookies do not store personal data; they only keep track of your shopping session.
- Your Shopping Cart: When you add a product to your cart, a cookie remembers that item as you continue browsing so it’s still there when you are ready to check out.
- Checkout & Pricing: Cookies help our system calculate live totals, shipping rates, and taxes based on the items in your cart.
2. Account & Security Cookies
Whether you are a customer checking on an order or a vendor managing your shop, these cookies keep your account secure.
- Secure Logins: When you log in, cookies remember your credentials so you don’t get booted out every time you click a new page.
- Protection: We use security cookies to prevent unauthorized access to accounts, protect vendor dashboards, and block spam bots from submitting fake forms.
3. Preference & Site Feature Cookies
These cookies make the website easier and more enjoyable to use.
- Product Filters & Sorting: When you use our dropdown menus to sort items by “Price: Low to High” or filter by specific categories, browser storage remembers your choices so the layout doesn’t reset every time you view a product.
- Display Preferences: If you are a vendor using our dashboard, cookies may remember your screen layout or menu settings for your next visit.
Information for Our Vendors
If you are selling on Homespun Nook, our platform relies on standard WordPress and WooCommerce administrative cookies to maintain your vendor dashboard. These are active when you are logged in and are essential for uploading products, managing inventory, and communicating securely on the site.
Managing Your Cookies
You have full control over your cookies. Because the cookies we use are essential for basic e-commerce functions (like the shopping cart), disabling them entirely will prevent you from being able to purchase items on Homespun Nook.
However, if you wish to clear your cookies or block certain types, you can easily do so through your web browser settings:
- Google Chrome: Settings > Privacy and security > Cookies and other site data
- Safari (Mac): Preferences > Privacy > Block all cookies
