This Cookie Policy explains in detail how ThreadLink ("we," "us," or "our") uses cookies and similar tracking technologies on www.mythreadlink.com (the "Site"). It is intended to give you clear and comprehensive information about the cookies we place, the purposes for which we use them, the legal basis on which we rely, and the choices you have in relation to them.
This Cookie Policy should be read alongside our Privacy Policy, which sets out the broader basis on which we collect and process personal data. By visiting the Site, certain essential cookies will be placed on your device as they are strictly necessary for the Site to function. All other cookies will only be placed with your explicit consent, which you may provide, refuse, or update at any time by clicking the Cookie Settings link in the footer of this Site.
If you have any questions not addressed in this policy, please contact us at privacy@mythreadlink.com.
A cookie is a small text file that a website stores on your computer, tablet, or mobile device when you visit the site. Cookies are widely used by websites to make them function correctly, work more efficiently, and to provide analytical and commercial information to the website operator.
First-party cookies are set directly by us when you visit the Site. These are only accessible by us and are used primarily for essential functions and to remember your preferences.
Third-party cookies are set by a party other than ThreadLink, such as our analytics or advertising partners. We only permit third-party cookies to be placed where we have a lawful basis to do so.
Session cookies are temporary cookies placed on your device for the duration of your visit and are automatically deleted when you close your browser.
Persistent cookies remain on your device after your browser session ends, for a defined period of time or until you manually delete them.
Cookies, on their own, do not typically contain personally identifiable information. However, the personal data that we store about you may be linked to information stored in and obtained from cookies. For this reason, where cookies are used to process personal data, we treat them in accordance with applicable data protection law and rely on a lawful legal basis for each category of cookie we use.
We use cookies and similar technologies for the following purposes:
We do not use cookies to build individual profiles for sale to third parties, nor do we use cookies to serve you advertising unrelated to our own services.
Essential cookies are required for the Site to deliver its basic functions and cannot be disabled within our cookie consent system. These cookies do not store any personally identifiable information beyond what is strictly necessary, and their placement does not require your consent under applicable law. Without these cookies, certain features of the Site such as form submission and security protections would not function correctly.

Our Site implements a consent signal framework that governs how our measurement and advertising tags behave in response to your consent choices. This ensures your preferences are genuinely respected, not just displayed.
When you first visit the Site and before making a consent choice, tracking tags load in a restricted mode. In this restricted mode, no advertising or analytics cookies are set and no personally identifiable data is collected. Limited, aggregated, and entirely anonymous behavioral signals may be collected for modeling purposes only. No individual user is identified, tracked, or profiled during this restricted phase.
Once you make your consent choice:
We use third-party service providers across the following categories, each of which may process data in connection with cookies or similar technologies. All providers are contractually required to process data only on our instructions and in accordance with applicable data protection law.
You may request the identity of specific providers by contacting us at privacy@mythreadlink.com.
The most direct way to manage your cookie preferences is through our cookie consent banner and the Cookie Settings link in the Site footer, available on every page at all times. This tool allows you to accept all non-essential cookies, reject all non-essential cookies, or choose specific categories individually. Your choices are stored for 12 months, after which we will ask for your preferences again.
All major browsers allow you to view, manage, block, and delete cookies through their settings. Note that disabling essential cookies may affect Site functionality. Instructions for the most widely used browsers:
In addition to using our Cookie Settings tool, you may opt out of analytics tracking across all websites by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.

Some third-party providers whose cookies are placed on your device process data outside the United Kingdom and the European Economic Area. We ensure all such transfers are made subject to appropriate safeguards, including Standard Contractual Clauses and recognized data transfer frameworks. For more information, contact us at privacy@mythreadlink.com.
Session cookies are automatically deleted when you close your browser. Persistent first-party cookies, including our consent record cookie, are retained for up to 12 months. Persistent third-party cookies are retained for the periods specified in Section 3. Where cookie data constitutes or is linked to personal data, it will be retained only as long as necessary and deleted or anonymized when no longer required.
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in the cookies and technologies we use, changes in applicable law, or changes in our business and services. The "Last Updated" date at the top of this page will always reflect the most recent revision. Where changes are material, we will take steps to bring them to your attention, including by presenting an updated consent banner where required.
