Cookies and similar technologies: small files that remember your preferences, support core site features, analytics, and (where applicable) affiliate attribution.
From third parties: analytics providers; affiliate networks that record clicks and purchases for attribution; and public sources (e.g., search engines) that show how you found us.

Cookies & Similar Technologies

We use cookies, web beacons, and similar technologies to operate the site and understand how content is used. Where required by law, we request your consent before setting non-essential cookies and provide a mechanism to manage preferences.

Analytics, Advertising & Affiliates

We use analytics services to understand engagement with our greenhouse and shed content. We may participate in affiliate programs; if you click a merchant link and make a purchase, the merchant or network may use cookies to attribute the referral. We do not run interest-based ads directly on our site, but analytics or affiliate partners may process limited identifiers for attribution.

Opt-out options include browser-level tracking protection, Google Analytics opt-out add-ons, and cookie preference tools where offered. You may also contact us to request that we deactivate analytics identifiers associated with your device or delete form submissions we hold.

How We Share Information

Service providers: hosting, security, analytics, email, and content delivery providers acting on our instructions.
Affiliate networks and merchants: for referral attribution and fraud prevention.
Legal and safety: to comply with law, enforce policies, or protect rights, safety, and property.
Business transfers: in connection with a merger, acquisition, or asset sale, subject to this Policy or a successor policy with equal or stronger protections.

International Transfers

If we transfer personal information outside your country, we use appropriate safeguards, such as Standard Contractual Clauses, and assess local laws to help ensure equivalent protection.

Data Retention

We retain personal information only as long as necessary for the purposes described in this Policy or as required by law. Typical retention periods include: contact inquiries (up to 24 months), analytics data (per provider defaults or as minimized/aggregated), and cookie preferences (per cookie lifespan).

Security

We implement technical and organizational measures designed to protect personal information, including encryption in transit, access controls, and data minimization. No system is 100% secure; please use strong, unique credentials when applicable and contact us if you suspect unauthorized activity.
