1. What Are Cookies and Similar Technologies?
Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. We also use similar technologies such as local storage (for example, to remember your cookie choice). This Cookie Policy explains how Gardeniostrength uses these technologies on gardeniostrength.world.
For visitors in the United States, we honor your choices regarding non-essential cookies and similar technologies. Where state laws apply (for example, in California, Virginia, Colorado, Connecticut, and Utah), we provide meaningful controls through our cookie banner and describe our practices in this policy. Non-essential cookies are used only after you opt in through the banner.
2. Data Controller
The data controller is Gardeniostrength. Contact details are in Section 11. For how we process personal data generally, see our Privacy Policy.
3. How We Use Cookies
We use cookies and local storage to:
- Remember your cookie consent choice
- Operate the website securely and reliably
- Measure website use only if you accept analytics cookies (currently not activated on this site unless you consent and we enable such tools)
- Support advertising measurement only if you accept marketing cookies (currently not activated on this site unless you consent and we enable such tools)
We do not use pre-ticked boxes for non-essential cookies, and browsing alone does not constitute consent.
4. Types of Cookies We Use
4.1 Strictly Necessary Cookies / Storage
These are required for the website to function and to record your consent. They are not used for cross-context behavioral advertising.
| Name | Type | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
| cookieConsent (localStorage) | Strictly necessary | Stores your cookie choice (necessary, analytics, marketing) and timestamp | 1 year |
4.2 Analytics Cookies (Optional)
Analytics cookies help us understand how visitors use the website. They are placed only after you click "Accept All" or enable analytics in the cookie banner and save your choice. If you reject non-essential cookies, analytics cookies are not used.
4.3 Marketing Cookies (Optional)
Marketing cookies may be used to measure advertising effectiveness or deliver relevant ads. They are placed only after you give consent via the cookie banner. If you reject non-essential cookies, marketing cookies are not used.
5. Third-Party Services and Similar Tracking
Some resources loaded from third parties may process technical data (such as IP address) even without marketing cookies:
- Google Fonts: Font files may be requested from Google servers. See Google's privacy documentation for details on data processing.
- Font Awesome CDN: Icons are delivered via a CDN; connection metadata may be logged by the provider.
Where these services are not strictly necessary, we limit their use and describe them here for transparency. You may block third-party resources via browser settings, though this may affect site appearance.
6. Your Choices and the Cookie Banner
When you first visit our website, a cookie banner appears. You can:
- Accept All: Allow strictly necessary storage plus optional analytics and marketing cookies
- Reject: Allow only strictly necessary storage
- Cookie Settings: Choose categories before saving (via the existing banner controls)
To change your choice later, clear site data or local storage for this website in your browser and revisit the site; the banner will appear again. We do not use "cookie walls" that block access unless you accept all optional cookies.
7. Browser Settings
You can also manage cookies through your browser. Most browsers let you view, delete, or block cookies. Blocking strictly necessary storage may prevent the site from remembering your consent choice.
- Chrome: Settings > Privacy and security > Cookies
- Firefox: Settings > Privacy & Security
- Safari: Settings > Privacy
- Edge: Settings > Cookies and site permissions
For general guidance on online privacy in the U.S., see the Federal Trade Commission at ftc.gov.
8. Consent and U.S. Privacy Choices
Strictly necessary storage supports site operation and remembering your choices. Optional cookies and similar technologies for analytics or advertising are used only after you provide affirmative consent through our cookie banner. Your choices must be:
- Freely given: Rejecting optional cookies does not block access to our content
- Specific: Separate choices for analytics and marketing where offered
- Informed: This policy and the banner explain what is used
- Unambiguous: Given through a clear affirmative action (button click)
- Revocable: You may withdraw consent at any time using the steps in Section 6
9. Data Retention
Your consent record is stored for 1 year, after which we ask for your preference again. Server logs from hosting may be retained for a shorter period as described in our Privacy Policy.
10. Changes to This Cookie Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy when our technologies or legal obligations change. The "Last updated" date at the top of this page will reflect the latest version.
