Cookie Policy

1. What cookies are

Cookies are small text files placed on your browser or device when you visit a website. They help websites remember settings, improve performance, and understand user behavior over time. Cookies may be session-based, which means they expire when your browser closes, or persistent, which means they remain until they expire naturally or are deleted by you.

In addition to cookies, we may use similar technologies such as local storage and basic analytics identifiers where legally permitted. For simplicity, this policy refers to all these technologies as cookies unless a distinction is necessary.

2. Types of cookies we use

Essential cookies support core site operation, such as preserving your cookie preference, ensuring stable page behavior, and helping protect forms or links from abuse. These cookies are generally required for basic functionality and cannot always be disabled without affecting site usability.

Analytics cookies help us understand how users interact with pages, which sections are most useful, how quickly pages load, and where navigation can be improved. We review this data in aggregate to improve layout quality, readability, and user flow. Analytics data is used for optimization and not for direct personal profiling.

3. Affiliate tracking and link measurement

Some outbound links include affiliate tracking parameters that identify the campaign source or placement. These parameters help partner operators determine referral attribution when users choose to visit third-party websites. Affiliate tracking does not turn us into a gambling operator, and any account creation or gameplay takes place exclusively on the partner website.

We cannot control cookies or tracking practices that third-party websites apply after you leave our domain. You should review each operator's own cookie and privacy documentation before using their services.

4. Legal basis and consent choices

Where required by law, non-essential cookies are activated only after your consent. You can accept or decline these categories through the cookie banner displayed on our website. Essential cookies may still be used because they are necessary to provide key website functions and maintain security.

How to withdraw cookie consent: If you previously accepted non-essential cookies and wish to withdraw your consent, clear the cookies stored by kimbembroidery.com in your browser settings. Once cleared, revisit the website and the cookie consent banner will appear again, allowing you to click "Decline" to refuse non-essential cookies. Your withdrawal of consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out before withdrawal.

How to manage cookies in your browser: Most browsers allow you to block or delete cookies. In Google Chrome, go to Settings > Privacy and Security > Cookies and other site data. In Firefox, go to Settings > Privacy & Security > Cookies and Site Data. In Safari, go to Preferences > Privacy > Manage Website Data. In Microsoft Edge, go to Settings > Cookies and site permissions. You may also enable Do Not Track (DNT) in your browser, install privacy extensions that block tracking scripts, or use your browser's built-in tracking protection features. Blocking all cookies may cause some website features to become unavailable.

5. Retention periods

Cookie retention varies based on purpose. Session cookies are removed when the browser session ends. Persistent cookies may remain for a defined period to preserve preferences and support recurring analytics comparisons. We periodically review retention settings and reduce storage duration where feasible.

6. Updates to this policy

We may revise this Cookie Policy when technologies, legal obligations, or operational practices change. The current version posted on this page applies to your present use of the website. Continued browsing after updates means you acknowledge the revised terms.
