1. What is a Cookie?
A cookie is a very small text file placed on your computer or device when you visit a website. It’s not a program and it can’t harm your computer.
We use them to help us understand how people use our website, so we can make it better and more useful.
By using our website, you are agreeing to us using cookies as described here.
2. How We Use Cookies
We only use one type of cookie on our site: Analytical Cookies.
We use Google Analytics, a service from Google, to help us understand how visitors find and use our site. This is incredibly important as it shows us:
- Which of our articles are the most (and least) helpful.
- How people navigate to our site (e.g., from a Google search or another link).
- How many people are visiting the site.
This information is all aggregated and anonymous. We don’t see your name or personal details; we just see “a visitor from London spent 5 minutes on the ‘Soggy Garden Fix’ article.” This allows us to improve the site and write more of the articles you find useful.
These are “third-party cookies” as they are set by Google, not by us directly.
3. Your Consent

- Cookie Banner: You can withdraw your consent at any time via our cookie banner.
- Browser Settings: The easiest way to manage cookies is through your web browser. You can set your browser to refuse all cookies or to let you know when a cookie is being set.
You can find out how to do this by clicking the “Help” menu on your browser. Please be aware that if you block all cookies, some parts of the web (including ours) may not work as intended.
