This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are, which ones PlantsPicker ("we", "us", or "our") uses on plantspicker.com (the "Website"), why we use them, and how you can manage your preferences. It should be read alongside our Privacy Policy.
Cookies are small text files placed on your device (computer, tablet, or smartphone) when you visit a website. They allow the website to recognise your device and remember certain information about your visit — such as your language preferences or login status — to make the site work correctly and improve your experience.
Cookies may be set by the Website itself ("first-party cookies") or by third-party services operating on the Website ("third-party cookies"). They can be session cookies (deleted when you close your browser) or persistent cookies (which remain on your device for a set period or until you delete them).
In accordance with the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) (EU) 2016/679 and the ePrivacy Directive 2002/58/EC, we only place non-essential cookies on your device after obtaining your freely given, specific, informed, and unambiguous consent. Strictly necessary cookies do not require consent as they are essential for the Website to function.
You can review or change your cookie preferences at any time by clicking the "Edit Cookie Preferences" button above or via the banner shown on your first visit. Withdrawing consent does not affect the lawfulness of any processing carried out before withdrawal.
We use the following categories of cookies on the Website:
Essential for the Website to function and cannot be switched off in our systems. They are typically set in response to actions you take, such as logging in or filling in forms. No consent is required for these cookies.
Help us understand how visitors interact with the Website by collecting anonymous, aggregated data. They allow us to measure and improve performance. These cookies are only set with your consent.
Used to deliver advertisements relevant to your interests and to measure the effectiveness of campaigns. They may be set by advertising partners and can track activity across websites. These cookies are only set with your consent.
Allow the Website to remember choices you make (such as language or region) to provide a more personalised experience. These cookies are only set with your consent.
