Cookies Policy

Last updated: June 2026

1. About This Policy

This Cookies Policy applies to the website located at yourgreenhouses.com (the “Site”) and the services we provide through it (the “Services”). It describes what cookies and similar technologies are, which ones we use, why we use them, and the choices available to you for managing them.

By using our Site, you consent to the use of cookies in accordance with this policy, except where your consent is required by law (for example, for certain cookies used by visitors located in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, or other regions with similar requirements). In those cases, we will ask for your consent before placing non-essential cookies on your device.

2. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer, tablet, or mobile device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work, or work more efficiently, as well as to provide reporting information and to support advertising.

Cookies set by the website owner (in this case, YourGreenHouses) are called “first-party cookies.” Cookies set by parties other than the website owner are called “third-party cookies.” Third-party cookies enable third-party features or functionality to be provided on or through the website, such as analytics, advertising, embedded content, and interactive features.

We also use similar technologies that function like cookies, including:

Pixels and web beacons: tiny graphics or code snippets used to measure activity, such as whether an email was opened or a page was viewed.
Local storage: data stored directly in your browser to remember preferences and improve performance.
Software development kits (SDKs) and tags: code that helps us understand how the Site is used and deliver relevant content.

In this policy, we refer to all of these technologies collectively as “Cookies.”

3. How We Use Cookies

Like many websites, we use Cookies on our Site. For specific information about the Cookies that we use related to powering our store with Shopify, see https://www.shopify.com/legal/cookies. We use Cookies to power and improve our Site and our Services (including to remember your actions and preferences), to run analytics and better understand user interaction with the Services (in our legitimate interests to administer, improve and optimize the Services). We may also permit third parties and services providers to use Cookies on our Site to better tailor the services, products and advertising on our Site and other websites.

More specifically, we use Cookies to:

Operate the Site and provide core features such as shopping carts, checkout, and account login.
Remember your preferences, such as language, region, and items saved in your cart.
Keep your session secure and help detect and prevent fraud or misuse.
Measure and analyze how visitors use the Site so we can improve its performance, content, and usability.
Understand the effectiveness of our marketing and deliver advertising that is more relevant to you on our Site and on other websites and platforms.

4. Categories of Cookies We Use

The Cookies we use generally fall into the following categories. The specific Cookies present may vary over time as we update the Site and the tools we rely on.

Category	Purpose	Can it be disabled?
Strictly Necessary	Required for the Site to function. They enable core features such as security, network management, account authentication, shopping cart, and checkout. The Site cannot work properly without them.	No. These are always active and do not require consent.
Performance & Analytics	Help us understand how visitors interact with the Site by collecting information such as pages visited, time spent, and any errors encountered. This helps us improve how the Site works.	Yes, where required by law.
Functional	Allow the Site to remember choices you make (such as your region or preferences) to provide enhanced, more personal features.	Yes, where required by law.
Targeting & Advertising	Used by us and our advertising partners to build a profile of your interests, measure campaign performance, and show you relevant ads on our Site and elsewhere.	Yes, where required by law.

Session vs. Persistent Cookies

Cookies also differ in how long they last:

Session Cookies are temporary and are deleted from your device once you close your browser.
Persistent Cookies remain on your device for a set period or until you delete them manually, and are activated each time you visit the Site.

5. Third-Party and Service-Provider Cookies

We work with trusted third parties and service providers who may set Cookies on our Site to deliver their services. These may include:

Shopify – our e-commerce platform, which powers the Site, the cart, and checkout. See Shopify’s cookie information for details.
Analytics providers (such as Google Analytics) – to help us measure and understand how the Site is used.
Advertising and social media platforms (such as Google, Meta/Facebook, and similar networks) – to deliver and measure advertising and to support features like social sharing.
Payment, fraud-prevention, and customer-support tools – to process orders securely and assist you.

These third parties may use Cookies to collect information about your online activities across different websites and over time. Their use of your information is governed by their own privacy and cookie policies, not this one. We encourage you to review the relevant third party’s policies for more information.

6. How to Manage and Control Cookies

Most browsers automatically accept Cookies by default, but you can choose to set your browser to remove or reject Cookies through your browser controls. Please keep in mind that removing or blocking Cookies can negatively impact your user experience and may cause some of the Services, including certain features and general functionality, to work incorrectly or no longer be available. Additionally, blocking Cookies may not completely prevent how we share information with third parties such as our advertising partners.

Browser Controls

You can usually find cookie settings in the “Options,” “Settings,” or “Preferences” menu of your browser. The following links provide guidance for common browsers:

Advertising Opt-Outs

To opt out of interest-based advertising from many companies, you can use the following industry tools:

Opting out does not mean you will no longer see ads – it means the ads you see may be less relevant to you. You may need to renew your opt-out choices if you clear your Cookies or use a different browser or device.

Consent Tools

Where required by law, we present a cookie banner or preference center when you first visit the Site, allowing you to accept or reject non-essential Cookies and to change your choices at any time. Strictly necessary Cookies do not require consent and cannot be switched off.

7. “Do Not Track” and Global Privacy Signals

Some browsers offer a “Do Not Track” (DNT) setting or send a Global Privacy Control (GPC) signal. Because there is not yet a uniform industry or legal standard for how to respond to DNT signals, our Site may not respond to them in a consistent way. Where the law requires us to honor a recognized opt-out preference signal such as GPC, we will treat it as a valid request to opt out of the sale or sharing of personal information for the browser or device from which it is sent.

8. Region-Specific Information

We aim to comply with applicable privacy and electronic communications laws in the regions where we operate. While we are primarily based in the United States, we also serve customers in Canada and may expand our services further, and we recognize that some regions have stricter rules around Cookies.

United States

Depending on your state of residence, you may have rights regarding the personal information collected through Cookies, including the right to opt out of the “sale” or “sharing” of personal information or of targeted advertising. For example, California residents have rights under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA). Where applicable, you can exercise these rights by adjusting your cookie preferences, using a recognized opt-out preference signal, or contacting us using the details below.

Canada

For visitors in Canada, we handle personal information in line with the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA) and applicable provincial privacy laws. We rely on a combination of implied and express consent, depending on the sensitivity of the information and the type of Cookie, and we provide clear choices for managing non-essential Cookies.

European Economic Area and United Kingdom

For visitors located in the European Economic Area (EEA) or the United Kingdom, we apply the standards of the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), the UK GDPR, and the ePrivacy rules. This means that we will only place non-essential Cookies (such as analytics, functional, and advertising Cookies) on your device after you have given your consent through our cookie banner or preference center. Strictly necessary Cookies are placed on the basis of our legitimate interest in operating a secure and functional Site. You may withdraw your consent at any time, and doing so will not affect the lawfulness of any processing carried out before your withdrawal.

9. Changes to This Cookies Policy

We may update this Cookies Policy from time to time to reflect changes in the Cookies we use, or for other operational, legal, or regulatory reasons. When we make changes, we will revise the “Last updated” date at the top of this page. We encourage you to review this policy periodically to stay informed about our use of Cookies.
