Cookie Policy

This page explains what cookies are, which ones HomeIdeaGarden uses, and how you can control them. For broader privacy information see our privacy policy.

What is a cookie?

A cookie is a small text file a website stores in your browser. Cookies are used to remember your preferences, measure how the site is used, and (in some cases) personalise advertising.

Cookies we use

Strictly necessary

Cookies required for the site to function — for example, remembering whether you've dismissed the cookie banner. These cannot be switched off.

Analytics

We use privacy-respecting analytics to count anonymised pageviews and understand which articles readers find useful. No personally identifying information is collected.

Advertising

Third-party advertising networks, including Google AdSense, may set cookies to measure ad performance and (where you have consented) to show personalised advertising. You can opt out of personalised advertising at Google Ads Settings and via the Your Online Choices portal in Europe.

Managing cookies

You can refuse or delete cookies through your browser settings (Chrome, Firefox, Safari and Edge all support this). Note that disabling all cookies may affect site functionality.

Changes

We update this policy when our cookie practices change. The "last updated" date at the top reflects the current version.
