This Cookie Policy explains how Stitch Knot Mat LLC (“we”, “us”, or “our”) uses cookies and similar technologies to recognise you when you visit our website at www.stitchknotmat.com. It explains what these technologies are and why we use them, as well as your rights to control our use of them.
1. What are Cookies?
Cookies are small data files that are placed on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. Cookies are widely used by website owners in order to make their websites work, or to work more efficiently, as well as to provide reporting information.
2. How We Use Cookies
Stitch Knot Mat LLC uses first-party and third-party cookies for several reasons. Some cookies are required for technical reasons in order for our Website to operate, and we refer to these as “essential” or “strictly necessary” cookies. Other cookies also enable us to track and target the interests of our users to enhance the experience on our Online Properties.
3. Your Consent and Control
We respect your privacy and provide you with full control over your data.
- Non-Essential Cookies: We will only deploy non-essential cookies (such as performance, functional, or advertising cookies) after you have provided explicit consent by clicking the “Accept” button on our Cookie Banner.
- Freedom of Choice: You have the right to decide whether to accept or reject cookies. You can exercise your cookie preferences through our Cookie Banner or by adjusting your browser settings. If you choose to reject cookies, you may still use our website, though your access to some functionality and areas of our website may be restricted.
4. Third-Party Cookies and Payment Processing
To facilitate a seamless and secure checkout experience, our website integrates third-party services. Specifically, Stripe processes certain cookies on our site. These cookies are essential for fraud prevention, ensuring the security of financial transactions, and maintaining the integrity of the payment session. By using our checkout, Stripe may process data in accordance with their own privacy regulations to provide these vital financial services.
5. Data Retention Periods
The duration for which we retain cookie-collected data depends on the type of cookie:
- Session Cookies: These are temporary and expire once you close your browser.
- Persistent Cookies: These remain on your device for a set period or until you manually delete them. In accordance with European and UK data protection standards, we ensure that persistent cookies used for tracking and analytics have a limited lifespan, typically not exceeding 12 months, unless a longer period is strictly required for legal compliance or functional necessity.
6. Transparency and Accuracy
Stitch Knot Mat LLC is committed to providing accurate information regarding our data practices. We do not provide disclaimers that suggest our policy information is inaccurate; we strive to maintain the highest level of transparency for our customers in Canada, the United Kingdom, the European Union, and the United States.
7. Security Measures
While we implement robust organisational and technical measures to protect the data collected via cookies, it is important to note that no method of electronic transmission or storage is 100% secure. We continuously monitor and update our protocols to align with international best practices and financial industry standards.
