At DecorHavenLife.com (the "Site"), we use cookies and similar tracking technologies to enhance your experience, provide personalized content (such as Pinterest-worthy decor ideas and DIY projects), and analyze site performance. This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are, how we use them, and your choices. It supplements our Privacy Policy (available at https://decorhavenlife.com/privacy-policy), which details our overall data practices.

1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files placed on your device by websites you visit. They help sites remember information about your visit, like preferences or login details (though we don't require logins). Similar technologies include web beacons, pixels, and local storage. These help us operate the Site efficiently.

2. Types of Cookies We Use

We use the following categories of cookies:

  • Essential Cookies: Necessary for the Site to function, such as maintaining your session or language preferences. These cannot be disabled via our tools but can be blocked in your browser (may affect usability).
  • Analytics Cookies: Help us understand how visitors use the Site, e.g., via Google Analytics. They collect data like pages viewed, time spent, and referral sources to improve content on home decor, eco tips, and DIY projects.
  • Advertising Cookies: Used by ad networks (e.g., Google Ads) to display relevant ads based on your interests. These may track your browsing across sites to personalize ads, including those related to decor inspiration.
  • Functional Cookies: Enhance features, such as remembering your poll responses (e.g., favorite decor style) or enabling social sharing buttons (e.g., Pinterest "Save" buttons, which may set their own cookies for tracking shares).

We do not use cookies for sensitive data collection. Third-party cookies (e.g., from Pinterest widgets or ad partners) are subject to their privacy policies.

If you interact with Pinterest features (e.g., pinning content), Pinterest may set cookies to track those actions, as described in their privacy policy.

4. Your Choices and Managing Cookies
