This Cookie Policy explains how EZ Stitch Digitizing (ezstitchdigitizing.com) uses cookies and similar tracking technologies when you visit our website. It should be read alongside our Privacy Policy and Affiliate Disclosure, both of which are available on this website.
By continuing to use our website, you consent to the use of cookies in accordance with this policy.
1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that are stored on your device — computer, tablet, or mobile phone — when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work efficiently, remember your preferences, and provide information to website owners about how their site is being used.
Cookies do not give us access to your device, your files, or any personal information beyond what you choose to share with us directly.
2. How We Use Cookies
We use cookies for the following purposes:
- To ensure our website functions correctly and securely
- To remember your preferences and settings between visits
- To analyze how visitors use our site so we can improve it
- To track traffic sources and understand visitor behavior patterns
- To support affiliate link tracking so that commissions are correctly attributed when you click a product recommendation and make a purchase
3. Types of Cookies We Use
Essential Cookies
These cookies are strictly necessary for our website to operate. They enable core functions such as page navigation, secure access, and session management. Without these cookies, certain parts of the website will not function correctly.
These cookies cannot be disabled without affecting your ability to use the site.
Performance & Analytics Cookies
These cookies collect anonymous information about how visitors use our website, including which pages are visited most often, how long users spend on each page, and how users navigate between sections. This data helps us improve site performance, content quality, and overall usability.
We use tools such as Google Analytics for this purpose. The data collected is aggregated and anonymized — it does not identify you personally.
Functional Cookies
These cookies remember choices you make on our site such as form inputs, display preferences, and session settings. They allow us to provide a more personalized and efficient experience when you return to our site.
Affiliate Tracking Cookies
When you click an affiliate link on our website — such as a link to a stabilizer product, embroidery tool, or any other recommended item — a tracking cookie may be placed on your device by the affiliate network or merchant. This cookie records that you arrived at their website via our referral so that any resulting commission can be correctly attributed to us.
These cookies are set and controlled by third-party affiliate networks, not by EZ Stitch Digitizing directly. The affiliate networks we currently work with include:
- Awin Affiliate Network — cookie and tracking details available at awin.com
- Amazon Associates Program — cookie and tracking details available at amazon.com
Affiliate tracking cookies do not store your name, payment details, or any other personally identifiable information. They exist solely to track whether a qualifying purchase was made following a referral click. They typically remain active for 30 days from the date of your click, after which they expire automatically.
If you do not wish to be tracked via affiliate cookies, you may decline non-essential cookies in your browser settings. This will not affect the price you pay for any product — it simply means we would not receive a commission if you make a purchase.
Third-Party Cookies
Beyond affiliate tracking, we may use other trusted third-party services that place cookies on your device to support analytics, functionality, or performance monitoring. These third-party cookies are governed by the respective privacy policies of those providers and not by this Cookie Policy.
4. How to Control Cookies
You have full control over the cookies stored on your device. Most browsers allow you to:
- View which cookies are currently stored
- Delete individual cookies or clear all cookies
- Block cookies from specific websites
- Block all third-party cookies

You can usually find these controls in your browser’s Settings or Privacy menu. Below are direct links to cookie management instructions for common browsers:
- Google Chrome — Settings → Privacy and Security → Cookies
- Mozilla Firefox — Settings → Privacy & Security → Cookies and Site Data
- Safari — Preferences → Privacy → Manage Website Data
- Microsoft Edge — Settings → Cookies and Site Permissions
Please note that disabling essential cookies may affect how some parts of our website function, including checkout and order submission processes.
5. Data Protection & Privacy
Information collected through cookies is used only for the purposes described in this policy — website functionality, performance improvement, service optimization, and affiliate commission attribution.
Customer artwork, design files, and order data are never shared, repurposed, or linked to cookie data in any way.
