Cookie Policy

Last updated: August 14, 2026

This Cookie Policy explains how Plantizz uses cookies and similar technologies on its anonymous editorial website. Cookies are small files stored by a browser; similar technologies may store or read identifiers or information through a browser or device. Plantizz uses one known first-party cookie for consent preferences and Google AdSense advertising technologies. Plantizz does not use Google Analytics.

What this site does not use

Based on the supplied configuration, Plantizz has no registration or login, member accounts, shopping cart, checkout, affiliate tracking, user uploads, garden planner, saved profile, weather-city preference, comments, reCAPTCHA, newsletter, or comparable account feature. The site does not knowingly set cookies for those purposes.

Site-owned consent cookie

florapedia_consent_v1 stores your necessary, analytics, and marketing choices together with the consent version so the consent dialog does not need to ask on every page load. It is set with Path=/, SameSite=Lax, and Secure when the site is delivered over HTTPS. Its intended duration is 180 days. This cookie is necessary for remembering the privacy choice you make; deleting it may cause the preference prompt to appear again.

Google advertising technologies

Plantizz uses Google AdSense / Google advertising services. Depending on your region, consent choices, browser, Google account settings, and whether personalized or non-personalized ads are served, Google may use cookies or similar technologies for ad delivery, fraud and abuse prevention, frequency capping, ad measurement, and advertising personalization.

Advertising technologies may be associated with Google, DoubleClick, Google Syndication, or Google Ad Services domains and, in some cases, may be set or read in connection with publisher websites. Exact technologies and retention periods can change. The following are representative examples, not an exhaustive or immutable list.

Google’s exact cookies and similar technologies can vary by region, user settings, Google product changes, and the type of advertising served. For Google’s current explanations, see Google’s cookie information, Google’s advertising information, and Google’s information about partner sites.

Consent and United States choices

Where a jurisdiction requires consent before advertising storage or access, including the European Economic Area, United Kingdom, Switzerland, or another jurisdiction with a comparable rule, Plantizz intends not to load advertising technologies before the required marketing or advertising choice. Google’s publisher consent and consent-management requirements are a separate platform-policy layer; this custom consent interface is not represented as Google-certified.

In the United States, cookie and advertising choices depend on applicable federal and state law. There is no single nationwide GDPR-style cookie-consent rule. Some state laws may provide opt-out rights concerning sale, sharing, targeted advertising, or similar processing when their residence and business thresholds apply. California’s CCPA/CPRA is not nationwide law. Plantizz does not claim that every United States visitor has California or other state-specific rights.

Similar technologies and local storage

Plantizz itself does not use localStorage or sessionStorage for accounts, profiles, saved content, or similar features. Google advertising systems may use cookies or comparable identifiers or storage according to Google’s systems, your settings, and applicable law.

Managing cookies and advertising choices

  • Use the Plantizz privacy or consent-settings control to review or withdraw optional marketing consent where available.
  • Use your browser settings to block, delete, or limit cookies. Blocking necessary preference storage may cause the consent prompt to return.
  • Use Google My Ad Center or relevant Google advertising settings to manage Google’s advertising personalization choices where available.

Withdrawing or refusing marketing consent may result in fewer or no personalized advertisements and may affect advertising measurement or frequency controls. It does not mean that necessary preference storage can be refused while still allowing the site to remember the choice.
