This policy should be read alongside our Privacy Policy. We comply with applicable U.S. federal and state privacy laws, including requirements in California, Virginia, Colorado, Connecticut, Utah, and Montana, regarding consent for non-essential cookies and targeted advertising.

1. What Are Cookies

Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work efficiently, remember preferences, and provide information to site owners.

3. Types of Cookies We Use

3.1 Strictly Necessary Cookies

These cookies are essential for the Website to function. They enable core features such as cookie consent management and security. These cookies cannot be disabled as the Website would not function properly without them.

3.2 Analytics Cookies

These cookies help us understand how visitors interact with the Website by collecting anonymous usage data. They are only activated when you give consent through our cookie banner.

3.3 Marketing Cookies

These cookies are used to measure advertising performance, deliver relevant ads, and support remarketing campaigns (including Google Ads). They are only activated when you give consent through our cookie banner.

4. Local Storage

In addition to cookies, we use browser localStorage to store your cookie consent preferences. This data remains on your device and is not transmitted to our servers unless you submit a contact form.

You can change your preferences at any time by clearing your browser localStorage and revisiting the Website, or by contacting us at online@gardenxyyouth.world.

6. Third-Party Cookies and Advertising

When you consent to analytics or marketing cookies, third-party services (such as Google Analytics or Google Ads) may set their own cookies on your device. These providers may collect information about your visits to this and other websites. We do not sell personal information collected through cookies. For more information, review the privacy policies of these third parties. You can manage Google ad personalization at Google Ads Settings and learn about Google Analytics opt-out at Google Analytics Opt-out.

7. Do Not Track and Global Privacy Control

Some browsers transmit "Do Not Track" (DNT) signals. Because there is no uniform industry standard for responding to DNT signals, we do not currently respond to them. Where required by applicable U.S. state law, we honor opt-out preference signals such as the Global Privacy Control (GPC) as a request to opt out of the sale or sharing of personal information for targeted advertising. You may also decline marketing cookies through our cookie banner.

8. Legal Basis

Strictly necessary cookies are used based on our legitimate interest in providing a functional Website. Analytics and marketing cookies are used only with your explicit consent, in accordance with applicable U.S. state privacy laws and, where applicable, GDPR Article 6(1)(a).

Cookie data is retained according to the durations specified above. Consent records are stored for up to 12 months. You may request deletion of your data at any time by contacting us.

10. Your Rights

Under applicable U.S. state privacy laws and GDPR, you have the right to withdraw consent, access your data, request deletion, and opt out of targeted advertising where applicable. See our Privacy Policy for full details on your rights and how to contact us.
