Privacy Policy
Quilt Block Atlas has no accounts, comments, newsletter or contact backend, and shows no ads. It measures aggregate, anonymous visits with Google Analytics, described below. 3 optional reading settings stay in your browser; the exact keys and their lifetimes are listed here.

What this site collects
Nothing that identifies you. There is no account to create, no comment box, no newsletter and no contact form, so the site never asks who you are. Every page is a pre-built file, and every calculator runs on your own device: a size you type into a chart is computed in your browser and never transmitted.
Aggregate visits are measured with Google Analytics — which pages are read, and rough region and device — in a form that does not identify you. It runs with IP anonymization and Google Consent Mode: in the EU, UK and Switzerland it stores nothing on your device, and elsewhere it sets a first-party _ga cookie so a returning visit is not counted as new. You can opt out of Google's advertising cookies at Google's Ads Settings.
Clearing your saved settings
The ledger above lists every reading preference this site stores in your browser. Clearing your browser data clears it, along with the Google Analytics cookie described above. No article, chart or calculator answer depends on a saved preference; these keys only change how the page is presented.
If this site ever shows ads
This site does not currently show advertising. If it does in future, through Google AdSense, the following applies — stated here in advance, as Google requires:
"Third party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on a user's prior visits to your website or other websites."
"Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to your users based on their visit to your sites and/or other sites on the Internet."
"Users may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Ads Settings."
You can opt out of personalized advertising at any time at Google's Ads Settings, whether or not this site currently runs AdSense.
When you email
There is no contact backend. A message to [email protected] goes to an ordinary mailbox, is read to answer you and to correct the page you wrote about, and is not added to any list. Questions about this policy go to the same address.
