Cookie Policy

This Cookie Policy is maintained by the Home & Garden Hub USA team and explains what cookies are, which ones we use, and the choices available to you. It supplements our Privacy Policy.

What cookies are

Cookies are small text files stored on your device by your browser. They let a website remember your preferences, keep sessions working, measure audience size, and — where you allow it — support advertising. Similar technologies such as local storage, pixels, and software development kits work the same way and are covered by this policy.

Categories of cookies we use

Strictly necessary

Required for the site to function. We store your cookie-consent choice in your browser's local storage so the consent banner is not shown on every visit. These cannot be switched off.

Analytics and performance

Help us understand which guides are read, how visitors navigate between categories, and where pages load slowly. Data is aggregated and is not used to identify you personally.

Advertising

If and when we display third-party advertising (for example Google AdSense), those partners may set cookies to limit how often you see an ad, to measure ad performance, and — where permitted — to show more relevant ads. Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads based on your visits to this and other sites.

Managing your choices

You can accept or decline non-essential cookies using the consent banner shown on your first visit. To change your decision later, clear this site's cookies and local storage in your browser settings and reload the page — the banner will appear again. Every major browser also lets you block or delete cookies entirely, though some site features may stop working.

You can additionally opt out of personalized advertising through Google Ads Settings or aboutads.info. EU and UK visitors can also use Your Online Choices.

Third parties that may set cookies

• Advertising networks used to fund free editorial content, including Google AdSense.
• Analytics providers used to measure aggregate traffic and page performance.
• Embedded media (for example video players) when an article includes them.

We do not control cookies set by these third parties. Please review their own policies for details on retention and data handling.

Retention

Consent preferences persist until you clear them. Analytics and advertising identifiers are retained by the relevant provider according to their published retention schedules, typically between a few days and 24 months.
