Cookie Policy

1. What cookies and similar technologies are

Cookies are small pieces of data that a website or service can store in your browser. Similar technologies include local storage, pixels, tags, and other identifiers that help a website remember preferences, maintain security, measure usage, or attribute referrals.

2. Cookie categories used on Seed Reserve Lab

Necessary and functional

These technologies support core site operation, security, consent storage, and features that you request. They may include WordPress, Jetpack, hosting/security services, and the consent-management system itself. Blocking them can cause parts of the site or consent controls to stop working correctly.

Preferences

Preference storage can remember choices that change how the site behaves for you, including cookie-consent settings or similar interface preferences.

Analytics and measurement

Analytics and measurement technologies can help us understand page views, interactions, navigation, performance, and which content is useful. Seed Reserve Lab uses Google Tag Manager as part of its measurement setup. Google Tag Manager is a tag-management system; tags loaded through it may use cookies or other identifiers depending on the tag and your consent state.

Marketing and affiliate attribution

Some outbound links are affiliate links. Merchants or affiliate platforms may use referral parameters, cookies, or similar identifiers to determine whether a visit or qualifying purchase followed a Seed Reserve Lab link. The merchant controls its own website, cookies, payment process, and privacy practices.

3. Current services relevant to cookies and consent

• WordPress / Jetpack: site operation, security, forms, performance, and related functionality.
• Complianz: consent-management and storage of your cookie-category choices.
• Google Tag Manager via GTM4WP: tag-management infrastructure used to load or coordinate measurement tags.
• Affiliate merchants or networks: referral attribution after you choose to follow an outbound merchant link.

Important: the exact cookie names, providers, expiration periods, and tags can change when WordPress, plugins, merchants, or measurement tools are updated. We avoid presenting an unverified static inventory as permanent.

4. Google Consent Mode

Seed Reserve Lab is designed to use consent signals with Google tags so that analytics and advertising-related storage can be restricted before a visitor has agreed to non-essential tracking where consent is required. Relevant Consent Mode signals can include analytics_storage, ad_storage, ad_user_data, and ad_personalization.

Your banner choice should update these signals for the current browser. Necessary/security-related operation is handled separately from optional analytics or marketing consent.

5. Managing or withdrawing consent

When the consent banner is available, you can accept non-essential categories, reject them, or customize your preferences. You can later reopen the consent controls and change your choice. You can also delete or block cookies through your browser, although doing so can affect site functionality.

6. Third-party websites

When you click a link to a seed company, merchant, affiliate partner, or other external site, you leave Seed Reserve Lab. The external site may set its own cookies or process information under its own privacy and cookie policies. Review those policies before providing personal or payment information.

7. Updates to this policy

We may update this Cookie Policy when the website, plugins, measurement setup, consent tools, or legal requirements change. The date at the top of this page indicates the most recent revision.
