Effective Date: 19 June 2025

Hi there, garden lover! At GardensVibe.com, we believe in growing trust as much as we love growing plants. This Cookie Policy explains how we use cookies to make your experience on our site smooth, enjoyable, and personalized—just like your dream garden.

We know privacy is important, so we want to be clear about what information we collect and how it's used. This page gives you all the details in plain English.

What Are Cookies, and Why Do We Use Them?

Cookies are small text files that live on your computer or mobile device. They help websites like ours remember who you are, what you love (like organic fertilizers or native perennials!), and how you interact with the site.

We use cookies to:

• Make the site work the way you expect – from remembering your preferences to loading pages faster.
• Understand what our readers enjoy – so we can create better gardening guides, how-tos, and plant care tips.
• Share helpful content and offers – you might see gardening tools, products, or content that fits your interests.
• Keep everything secure and running smoothly.

Types of Cookies We Use

Here's a quick breakdown:

Essential Cookies

These are like the roots of our website—without them, basic features wouldn’t work. They help you navigate the site, log in (if applicable), or submit forms.

Performance & Analytics Cookies

These cookies help us see which articles and topics are most loved by our visitors. They don’t collect personal info—just anonymous data to improve your experience.

Functional Cookies

They remember your preferences—like your region, whether you prefer light or dark mode (if we offer that), or what you last searched for.

Advertising Cookies

If we run ads or use affiliate links, these cookies help us show you offers or gardening products that might interest you. We only work with trusted partners.

Third-Party Cookies

Sometimes we work with trusted tools like Google Analytics or social media platforms that place their own cookies. These third parties may collect data to provide insights, display social media buttons, or serve ads based on what you enjoy.

Each has its own privacy and cookie policies, so we recommend checking those out if you’re curious.

Your Choices: Control What’s Planted

You’re always in control. Here’s how you can manage cookies:

• Browser Settings – You can block or delete cookies through your browser settings at any time.
• Opt-Out Options – Want to control personalized ads? Use tools like:

1. Google Ads Settings
2. Network Advertising Initiative
3. YourAdChoices

Keep in mind: blocking cookies might make some features of the site not work quite right.

Do Not Track Signals

We respect your privacy, but currently our website doesn’t respond to “Do Not Track” signals because there’s no universal standard just yet. If that changes, we’ll update this page.

We May Update This Policy

As our website evolves (just like a garden through the seasons), we may update this Cookie Policy. Any changes will be shared right here, with the new effective date clearly posted.

Have Questions?

We’re here to help—whether it’s about cookies, compost, or companion planting!
