1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies set by the website owner (in this case, Freshroot Garden Care) 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 (e.g., analytics).

2. Why We Use Cookies

We use first-party and third-party cookies for several reasons. Some cookies are required for technical reasons in order for our website to operate, and we refer to these as "essential" or "strictly necessary" cookies. Other cookies enable us to track and target the interests of our users to enhance the experience on our website.

However, if you limit the ability of websites to set cookies, you may worsen your overall user experience, since it will no longer be personalized to you.

6. Do Not Track Signals

Some browsers include a "Do Not Track" (DNT) feature that signals to websites that you do not want to have your online activity tracked. Our website currently does not respond to DNT signals due to the lack of industry standard for implementing DNT.
