Privacy Policy

Last updated 25 October 2026

This Privacy Policy explains what information To Home & Garden (“we”, “us”) collects when you visit tohomeandgarden.com, how we use it and what choices you have. By using the site you agree to this policy. If you have questions, email hello@tohomeandgarden.com.

Information we collect

  • Information you give us: if you subscribe to our newsletter, we collect your email address. If you use the contact form or email us, we collect your name, email address and the message you send.
  • Information collected automatically: our hosting provider records technical information such as your IP address, browser type, device, pages visited and the date and time of each visit, in server logs. With your consent, our analytics tools also collect information about how you use the site (pages viewed, approximate location, device and browser type, and how you arrived).
  • Information from cookies and similar technologies: see “Cookies and similar technologies” below.

We do not ask for payment details, and we do not offer user accounts or comments on the site.

How we use information

  • To run, secure and improve the site and our guides.
  • To understand which guides are useful, using analytics.
  • To send you the newsletter, if you subscribed, and to reply to your messages.
  • To show advertising, where ads are enabled and you have agreed to them.
  • To follow the law and protect the site against misuse.

Cookies and similar technologies

We use cookies and similar browser storage. When you first visit, a cookie banner lets you accept, reject or customize non-essential cookies. Analytics and advertising tools do not load until you accept them. You can change your choice at any time with the cookie settings link or by clearing your browser data.

  • Necessary: remembers your cookie choice (cookieyes-consent). It does not identify you.
  • Analytics (only after you accept): Google Analytics (cookies such as _ga and _ga_ followed by an ID) and Microsoft Clarity (cookies such as _clck and _clsk, and session storage such as _cltk). They help us understand how the site is used. Clarity may record how you move and click on pages, with sensitive fields masked.
  • Advertising (only after you accept): if we show ads, Google AdSense and its partners may set cookies and use identifiers to show and measure ads, including personalized ads. Examples of cookie names are __gads, __gpi and __eoi.
  • Functional: our newsletter sign-up form stores a browser identifier (ml_guid) in your browser’s local storage when the form loads. It is used to run the form.

Our cookie banner lists each cookie with its purpose and duration.

Third-party services we use

These providers process information under their own policies. Some of them may process information in other countries.

Newsletter

If you subscribe, we use your email address to send you our newsletter. We ask you to confirm your subscription by email. Every email has an unsubscribe link, and you can also email hello@tohomeandgarden.com to be removed. We do not sell or rent your email address.

Advertising and affiliate links

The site may show advertising and may include affiliate links in the future. Advertising partners may use cookies according to the choices you make in our cookie banner. If a guide contains affiliate links, it says so, and the links may earn us a commission at no extra cost to you. See our Editorial & Affiliate Disclosure. You can also opt out of personalized advertising at Your Online Choices.

How long we keep information

We keep newsletter details until you unsubscribe. We keep contact messages for as long as needed to reply and to keep a record of corrections. Analytics and advertising data are kept for the periods set by each provider. Server logs are kept for a short time for security and troubleshooting.

Your choices and rights

Depending on where you live, you may have the right to ask what information we hold about you, to correct or delete it, to object to or restrict how we use it, to withdraw consent, and to receive a copy of it. You may also have the right to opt out of personalized advertising. We do not sell your personal information. To use any of these rights, email hello@tohomeandgarden.com. We may need to confirm who you are before we act on a request. You may also have the right to complain to your local data protection authority.

Children

This site is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect information from them. If you think a child has given us information, email us and we will delete it.
