Cookie Policy

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device (computer, tablet, or mobile) when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work, or work more efficiently, as well as to provide information to the site owners.

Cookies set by the website owner (in this case, Better Soil) 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., advertising, interactive content, and analytics).

We use first-party and third-party cookies for several reasons. Some are required for technical reasons in order for our Site 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 Site. Third parties serve cookies through our Site for analytics and other purposes.

The specific types of first- and third-party cookies served through our Site and the purposes they perform are described below:

Strictly Necessary

Enable core functionality such as security, network management, and accessibility. The website cannot function properly without these.

Duration: Session / up to 1 year

Performance & Analytics

Help us understand how visitors interact with the website by collecting and reporting information anonymously (e.g., pages visited, time spent).

Duration: Up to 2 years

Functional

Allow the website to remember choices you make (such as language or region) and provide enhanced, personalized features.

Duration: Up to 1 year

Targeting & Advertising

Used to deliver relevant advertisements, measure ad effectiveness, and limit the number of times you see an advertisement.

Duration: Up to 13 months

In addition to cookies, we may use other similar technologies to track visitors to our Site:

• Web beacons (pixel tags): Small graphic images that allow us to monitor the use of our Site.
• Local storage objects: Used to store content information and preferences in your browser.
• Software development kits (SDKs): Used in mobile applications to collect data similar to cookies.

You have the right to decide whether to accept or reject cookies. You can exercise your cookie preferences in the following ways:

• Cookie Banner: When you first visit our Site, you can accept or reject non-essential cookies through our cookie consent banner.
• Browser Settings: Most web browsers allow some control of most cookies through the browser settings. You can usually find these settings in the "Options" or "Preferences" menu of your browser.
• Opt-Out Tools: For targeted advertising, you can opt out via industry tools such as the Digital Advertising Alliance (youradchoices.com) or the European Interactive Digital Advertising Alliance (youronlinechoices.eu).

Please note that if you choose to reject cookies, you may still use our Site, though your access to some functionality and areas may be restricted.

Some browsers offer a "Do Not Track" (DNT) feature that signals to websites you visit that you do not want to have your online activity tracked. Because there is no industry-standard way to interpret these signals, our Site does not currently respond to DNT signals.

Depending on your location, you may have rights under applicable data protection laws (such as the GDPR in the EU/UK or the CCPA in California) regarding the personal information collected through cookies. These may include the right to access, correct, delete, or restrict processing of your data. Please refer to our Privacy Policy for more information on how to exercise these rights.

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes to the cookies we use or for other operational, legal, or regulatory reasons. We encourage you to revisit this page periodically to stay informed about our use of cookies. The date at the top of this policy indicates when it was last updated.
