Cookie Policy

Last Updated: September 2026

This Cookie Policy explains how Easel & Ink Studios may use cookies and similar technologies when you visit our website.

Cookies help websites perform essential functions, remember visitor preferences, understand how a website is being used, maintain security, and support features provided by third-party services.

Because Easel & Ink Studios may use community features, ecommerce tools, analytics, embedded content, affiliate links, and other services as the website grows, the specific cookies used on the site may change over time.

What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that websites may place on your computer, phone, tablet, or other device through your web browser.

Cookies can store limited information that allows a website or service to recognize a browser, remember preferences, maintain a session, provide website functionality, or understand how visitors interact with a website.

Some cookies exist only while your browser is open, while others may remain on your device for a specified period or until they are deleted.

First-Party and Third-Party Cookies

Cookies may be classified according to who places them.

First-party cookies are generally created by Easel & Ink Studios or the technology operating directly through our website.

Third-party cookies may be created by independent services integrated with or linked through our website, such as analytics providers, social media platforms, ecommerce services, payment processors, advertising services, embedded media providers, or affiliate networks.

Third-party cookies and similar technologies are governed by the policies of the companies providing those services.

Types of Cookies We May Use

Depending on the features active on Easel & Ink Studios, cookies may fall into several general categories.

Essential Cookies

Essential cookies support functions necessary for the website to operate properly.

These may be used for purposes such as:

Website security
Fraud and abuse prevention
Remembering cookie preferences
Maintaining user sessions
Account login functionality
Shopping cart functionality
Checkout processes
Basic website operation

Because these cookies may be necessary to provide services specifically requested by a visitor, disabling them can prevent portions of the website from functioning correctly.

Preference and Functional Cookies

Preference or functional cookies may allow the website to remember choices you make and provide a more personalized experience.

These may remember information such as display preferences, website settings, account preferences, or other choices made during previous visits.

Analytics and Performance Cookies

Easel & Ink Studios may use analytics or performance technologies to better understand how visitors use our website.

These technologies may help us understand information such as:

Which pages are visited
How visitors arrive at the website
How visitors navigate through the site
Which features are used
General website traffic patterns
Technical errors or performance problems

We may use this information to improve website organization, usability, performance, content, and visitor experience.

Affiliate Cookies

Affiliate marketing is one of the ways Easel & Ink Studios and participating artists may support their creative work.

When you follow an affiliate link, the applicable retailer, affiliate network, or other third party may use cookies, tracking parameters, or similar technologies to determine whether a qualifying purchase or action resulted from that referral.

These technologies may allow the appropriate affiliate to receive credit or compensation for the referral.

The duration and operation of affiliate tracking are determined by the applicable retailer, affiliate network, or service.

Additional information about our use of affiliate links is available in our Affiliate Disclosure.

Ecommerce Cookies

If Easel & Ink Studios offers ecommerce functionality, cookies may be used to support shopping and transaction-related features.

These may include functionality such as:

Remembering products added to a shopping cart
Maintaining cart contents between pages
Supporting checkout
Maintaining account sessions
Remembering certain customer preferences
Supporting fraud prevention and transaction security

Independent sellers, payment processors, ecommerce platforms, or retailers linked through Easel & Ink Studios may also use their own cookies and technologies.

Embedded Content Cookies

Easel & Ink Studios may include embedded content provided by third-party services.

This may include:

Videos
Social media posts
Images
Product displays
Interactive features
Other externally hosted content

Embedded content may behave in substantially the same way as if you visited the third-party website directly.

The provider may use cookies or other technologies to collect information about your interaction with the embedded content, particularly if you already have an account with that service.

Social Media Technologies

Easel & Ink Studios maintains and may link to communities and content on social media platforms.

Social sharing buttons, embedded posts, widgets, videos, or other social features may allow the applicable platform to use cookies or similar technologies.

Those technologies are controlled by the applicable social media provider and are subject to its own privacy and cookie practices.

Advertising and Marketing Cookies

If Easel & Ink Studios uses advertising, sponsored content, remarketing, or other marketing technologies in the future, those services may use cookies or similar technologies to measure advertising performance or provide relevant content.

Where required, optional advertising or marketing technologies will be handled according to applicable consent requirements.

Similar Technologies

Not every tracking or storage technology is technically a cookie.

Websites and third-party services may also use technologies such as pixels, tags, local storage, tracking parameters, server logs, or similar mechanisms.

For simplicity, this policy may refer collectively to these technologies as cookies or similar technologies where appropriate.

Our Cookie Preference

Easel & Ink Studios may store a small cookie or similar browser record to remember whether you have interacted with our cookie notice or saved available cookie preferences.

This prevents us from unnecessarily asking you the same question every time you visit.

If you delete your browser cookies, use a different browser or device, or otherwise clear stored website information, you may be asked to make your selection again.

Cookie Consent

Where applicable law requires consent before certain non-essential cookies or similar technologies are used, Easel & Ink Studios will make reasonable efforts to provide appropriate choices through our cookie notice or consent system.

Essential technologies necessary to operate the website or provide a service requested by the visitor may be treated differently from optional analytics, advertising, or other non-essential technologies under applicable law.

Managing Cookies Through Your Browser

Most modern web browsers allow you to review, block, restrict, or delete cookies through browser settings.

Available controls vary by browser and device.

You may generally be able to:

Delete existing cookies
Block all cookies
Block third-party cookies
Receive notifications when cookies are created
Control cookies for individual websites
Clear browsing and website data

Please remember that blocking or deleting essential cookies may cause portions of Easel & Ink Studios or other websites to stop functioning as expected.

Third-Party Services

Easel & Ink Studios may rely on independent services to provide website functionality, analytics, ecommerce, payment processing, affiliate tracking, security, social media features, embedded content, and other functionality.

Those services may establish their own cookies or collect information according to their respective policies.

We do not control the cookie practices of an independent third-party website merely because Easel & Ink Studios links to or integrates with that service.

Affiliate Retailers

When you follow an affiliate link away from Easel & Ink Studios, the destination retailer or affiliate network may use its own cookies and tracking technologies.

The retailer’s privacy and cookie policies govern what happens on its website.

Easel & Ink Studios does not control the cookies placed directly by independent affiliate retailers.

Cookies and Personal Information

Some information collected through cookies may be considered personal information or personal data under applicable privacy laws, particularly when it can be associated with an identifiable individual, device, account, or online identifier.

For more information about how Easel & Ink Studios may collect, use, retain, and protect information, please review our Privacy Policy.

Do Not Track and Browser Privacy Signals

Browsers and devices may provide privacy settings or signals intended to communicate a user’s tracking preferences.

The legal and technical standards surrounding these signals continue to evolve.

Easel & Ink Studios will review applicable requirements and supported technologies as our website and privacy systems develop.

Changes to the Cookies We Use

The technologies used by Easel & Ink Studios will change as the website grows.

New community tools, ecommerce systems, analytics services, affiliate programs, embedded content, security technologies, or other features may introduce new cookies or similar technologies.

We will periodically review our cookie practices and update this policy when appropriate.

Changes to This Cookie Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy to reflect changes to our website, technologies, services, legal obligations, or privacy practices.

When substantive changes are made, the “Last Updated” date at the top of this page may be revised.
