COOKIE POLICY

Website: https://homeyardessentials.com/

This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are, how we use them, and how you can control them.

  1. WHAT ARE COOKIES?

Cookies are small text files stored on your device (computer, phone, tablet) when you visit a website. They help the website remember your actions and preferences over time.

  1. WHAT COOKIES DO WE USE?

We use only necessary and analytical cookies. We do NOT use advertising cookies (no banners, no personalized ads).

  • Essential cookies: These are required for the website to function properly. For example, they help with security and basic navigation. You cannot turn these off without breaking the site.
  • Analytics cookies: We use Google Analytics to count visits, see which pages are most popular, and understand how visitors find us. These cookies collect anonymous data – we never see your name or personal info.
  • Affiliate cookies: When you click an affiliate link (e.g., Amazon), that retailer may place a cookie on your device to track the referral. We do not control those cookies. Check the retailer’s cookie policy for details.
  1. THIRD-PARTY COOKIES

Some of our pages may embed content from third parties (e.g., YouTube videos, Pinterest pins). Those third parties may set their own cookies. We do not control them.

We do NOT use Google DoubleClick or any display ad networks.

  1. HOW LONG DO COOKIES STAY?
  • Session cookies: Deleted when you close your browser.
  • Persistent cookies: Stay on your device until they expire (usually up to 2 years) or you delete them.
  1. HOW TO CONTROL OR DELETE COOKIES

Most browsers allow you to:

  • See what cookies are stored
  • Delete all cookies
  • Block cookies from specific sites
  • Block all third-party cookies

To learn how, visit:

  • Chrome: Settings → Privacy and Security → Cookies
  • Firefox: Options → Privacy & Security
  • Safari: Preferences → Privacy
  • Edge: Settings → Site permissions → Cookies

Blocking all cookies may break some website features. But on our site, only analytics will stop working – the core site will still function.

  1. CONSENT

By using our website, you consent to our use of cookies as described in this policy. For analytics cookies, we obtain your consent via a banner when you first visit.

  1. CHANGES TO THIS POLICY

If we change how we use cookies, we will update this page and change the date above.
