Cookie Policy

This Cookie Policy explains how Green Yard Works ("we", "us", and "our") uses cookies and similar tracking technologies when you visit our website at www.GreenYardWorks.com. This policy outlines what these technologies are, why we use them, and your right to control our use of them.

1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small data files that are placed on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. Cookies are widely used by online store owners in order to make their websites work efficiently, provide a smooth shopping experience, and gather reporting information on site traffic.

Because our store is hosted on the Shopify platform, certain cookies are placed directly by Shopify to ensure the website functions correctly, while others are used by third parties (like analytics tools) to help us understand how you interact with our products.

2. Why Do 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—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 online store.

Specifically, we use cookies to:

  • Keep items in your shopping cart while you browse our handcrafted products.

  • Remember your site preferences, such as shipping country or language settings.

  • Process checkout securely and verify your identity during the transaction.

  • Analyze site traffic to help us improve our website's layout, speed, and product offerings.

3. The Types of Cookies We Use

A. Essential Store Cookies These cookies are strictly necessary to provide you with services available through our website and to use some of its features, such as accessing secure checkout areas and managing your shopping cart. Because these cookies are strictly necessary to deliver the website, you cannot refuse them without impacting how our store functions.

B. Performance and Analytics Cookies These cookies collect information that is used either in aggregate form to help us understand how our website is being used, or how effective our marketing campaigns are. This helps us customize our store for you and improve our handcrafted product listings.

C. Advertising and Marketing Cookies These cookies are used to make advertising messages more relevant to you. They perform functions like preventing the same ad from continuously reappearing, ensuring that ads are properly displayed, and in some cases, selecting advertisements that are based on your interests.

4. How Can You Control Cookies?

You have the right to decide whether to accept or reject cookies. You can set or amend your web browser controls to accept or refuse cookies. If you choose to reject cookies, you may still use our website, though your access to some functionality and areas of our website (like successfully keeping items in your shopping cart) may be severely restricted.

Because the means by which you can refuse cookies through your web browser controls vary from browser to browser, you should visit your specific browser's "Help" menu for more information:

  • Google Chrome: Settings > Privacy and Security > Cookies and other site data.

  • Safari: Preferences > Privacy > Block all cookies.

  • Mozilla Firefox: Preferences > Privacy & Security > Cookies and Site Data.

5. Shopify and Privacy

As mentioned, our store is powered by Shopify. You can read more about exactly how Shopify utilizes cookies on our behalf to make your shopping experience run smoothly by visiting the official Shopify Cookie Policy.

6. Updates to This Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time in order to reflect changes to the cookies we use or for other operational, legal, or regulatory reasons. Please revisit this Cookie Policy regularly to stay informed about our use of cookies and related technologies.
