Free Stencil Pages is operated from the United Kingdom. This policy explains what personal data we collect when you use this site, why we collect it, and your rights in relation to it.
What we collect
Analytics data
We use Google Analytics (GA4) to understand how people use this site — which pages are visited, how long people spend on them, and roughly where visitors are located (country level). This data is anonymised and aggregated. We cannot identify individual visitors from it. You can opt out of Google Analytics tracking using the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on.
Advertising
This site uses Google AdSense to display advertisements. Advertising is what keeps every stencil on this site free, and that's the honest trade. Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this website and to other websites on the internet. Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visits to this site and/or other sites.
- You can opt out of personalised advertising by visiting Google's Ads Settings.
- You can also opt out of some third-party vendors' use of cookies for personalised advertising by visiting www.aboutads.info.
Ad partners other than Google may also place and read cookies on your browser, or use web beacons to collect information, as a result of ad serving on this site. If you are in the UK or EEA, we ask for consent before personalised advertising cookies are set, in line with Google's EU User Consent Policy; if you decline, ads still appear but are non-personalised, based on the page you're viewing rather than your browsing history. You can change or withdraw your choice at any time via your browser's cookie settings.
Affiliate links
Some guide pages contain affiliate links to craft supplies we consider genuinely useful for stencilling. As an Amazon Associate we earn from qualifying purchases. This never affects the price you pay, and it never affects which stencils are free — all of them are, always. Any page containing affiliate links carries a clear disclosure at the top of that page.
Cookies
Cookies are set by Google Analytics and Google AdSense. These are third-party cookies. We do not set our own first-party cookies for tracking purposes. You can view, block or delete cookies through your browser settings at any time — blocking them won't break the stencil downloads; the site works with or without them.
Contact enquiries
If you contact us by email, we store your email address and the content of your message for the purpose of responding to your enquiry. We do not add you to any mailing list, share your details with third parties, or retain your data for longer than necessary.
What we don't collect
We do not require account creation, so we have no user accounts, passwords, or profile data. We do not require an email address to download any file. We do not collect payment information.
Your rights (UK GDPR)
Under UK GDPR you have the right to access personal data we hold about you, request its deletion, and object to its processing. In practice the only personal data we might hold is an email address if you've contacted us. To exercise any of these rights, email hello@freestencilpages.com.
Third party links
This site contains links to other websites. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of those sites and this policy does not apply to them.
Changes to this policy
If this policy changes materially, we'll update the "last updated" date at the top of this page. We won't notify you individually, so check back occasionally if this matters to you.
