Privacy Policy

We are a gardening guide website and do not require registration. We collect no names or email addresses except what you choose to send us by email through the contact page. We use the minimum technical information needed to run the site (such as IP addresses for server security and abuse prevention), never to identify individuals.

We use a small number of first-party cookies to remember your language preference and display settings, and to keep administrator sessions secure. We do not use them to build a profile of you. Third-party vendors, including Google, also set and read cookies on this site, as described in the next section.

Advertising on this site is served by Google AdSense. Google is a third-party vendor and uses cookies, including the DoubleClick DART cookie, to serve ads to you based on your visits to this site and to other websites. Third-party vendors and ad networks may also place or read cookies, web beacons or similar identifiers on this site in order to measure and personalise advertising. You can opt out of personalised advertising at any time: use Google Ads Settings (https://adssettings.google.com) to opt out of Google's use of the DART cookie, and visit www.aboutads.info (https://www.aboutads.info/choices/) or www.youronlinechoices.eu to opt out of participating third-party vendors. Google's own explanation of how it uses data in advertising is at https://policies.google.com/technologies/ads. Opting out does not remove advertising — it means the ads you see are no longer tailored to your interests.

We use a first-party analytics system to understand which guides and pages are most useful. Data is stored on our own server and used only in aggregate to improve the site.

This site may contain links to third-party websites. We are not responsible for their privacy practices; please refer to their privacy policies.

If you are in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom or Switzerland, the GDPR gives you the right to be informed, to access your personal data, to have inaccurate data rectified, to have data erased, to restrict or object to processing, to data portability, and to withdraw consent at any time. If you are a California resident, the CCPA/CPRA gives you the right to know what personal information is collected, the right to request deletion, the right to correct inaccurate information, and the right to opt out of the sale or sharing of personal information; we do not sell or share personal information as those terms are defined by the CCPA. Because this site has no accounts and stores no personal data of its own, there is usually nothing for us to retrieve or delete — the data collected in connection with advertising is controlled by Google, and you can exercise your choices through the opt-out links above. To make a privacy request, or to ask which categories of information are processed, email us at [email protected] and we will respond within 30 days.

We may update, revise or replace this policy at any time. The current version is always the one published on this page, and the 'last updated' date at the top shows when it changed. Material changes will be reflected here before they take effect, so please review this page periodically. Continued use of the site after an update means you accept the revised policy.
