Cookie Policy

This Cookie Policy explains how Embroidery Machine Hub (“we,” “us,” or “our”) uses cookies and similar technologies on embroiderymachinehub.com (the “Site”). By using our Site, you consent to the use of cookies as described in this policy.

What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files stored on your device (computer, tablet, or mobile phone) when you visit a website. They help the site remember your preferences, understand how you use the site, and improve your experience. Cookies may be “session” cookies (deleted when you close your browser) or “persistent” cookies (remain until they expire or you delete them).

How We Use Cookies

We use cookies for the following purposes:

  • Essential Cookies: These cookies are necessary for the Site to function properly. They enable core functionality such as security, network management, and accessibility. You cannot opt out of these cookies.
  • Analytics Cookies: We use Google Analytics and similar tools to understand how visitors interact with our Site — which pages are visited, how long visitors stay, and what content is most useful. This helps us improve the Site over time.
  • Affiliate Tracking Cookies: When you click an affiliate link (such as an Amazon link) on our Site, a cookie may be placed by the affiliate network to track that the referral came from us. This allows us to earn a small commission at no extra cost to you.
  • Functional Cookies: These cookies remember your preferences, such as language settings or display preferences, to give you a more personalized experience.

Third-Party Cookies

Some cookies on our Site are placed by third-party services we use:

  • Google Analytics: Tracks anonymous usage data. Google’s privacy policy is available at https://policies.google.com/privacy.
  • Amazon Associates: When you click an Amazon affiliate link, Amazon may place cookies to attribute the referral. Amazon’s privacy notice is at Amazon Privacy Notice.
  • WordPress and LiteSpeed Cache: Our hosting platform may use session cookies for site performance and security. These are essential for the Site to function.

Your Choices and How to Control Cookies

You have the right to accept or reject non-essential cookies. You can control cookies in several ways:

  • Browser Settings: Most web browsers allow you to view, manage, and delete cookies through browser settings. You can block all cookies or block third-party cookies specifically. Note that blocking essential cookies may affect how the Site functions.
  • Google Analytics Opt-Out: You can opt out of Google Analytics tracking by installing the Google Analytics Opt-Out Browser Add-on at https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.
  • Do Not Track: Some browsers have a “Do Not Track” feature. Our Site currently does not respond to Do Not Track signals due to the lack of an industry standard, but we support your right to control your data.
  • Cookie Consent: If you are visiting from the European Economic Area (EEA) or the United Kingdom, you will see a cookie consent banner when you first visit the Site. You can change your preferences at any time by clearing your browser cookies and revisiting the Site.
