This Cookie Policy explains how Save Water Daily uses cookies and similar technologies when you visit savewaterdaily.com. It sits alongside our Privacy Policy and tells you what each cookie category does, which specific cookies you may encounter, and how to accept, refuse, or change your choices at any time.
What cookies are
Cookies are small text files that a website stores on your device (computer, phone, or tablet) through your browser. They let a site remember short pieces of information between page loads or return visits, such as whether you are signed in, what preferences you set, or which pages performed well with readers. Some cookies last only until you close the tab (session cookies); others stay for a set number of days or months (persistent cookies).
Categories of cookies used on this site
- Strictly Necessary. These keep the site functional and secure. They cannot be switched off in our banner because the site would not work without them. Examples include PHPSESSID (a temporary session identifier used by the underlying server) and WordPress security tokens such as wordpress_test_cookie and wp-settings-time-*.
- Functional. These remember preferences you set, such as font size choices or a dismissed notice. Examples include wp-settings-* cookies, which store logged-in editor preferences for contributors who sign in to the site.
- Analytics. If Google Analytics is active through the Site Kit plugin, cookies such as _ga and _ga_<container-id> help us understand which articles readers reach, how long they stay, and where they arrive from. Data is aggregated; we do not use it to profile individuals.
- Advertising. If Google AdSense is enabled on a given page, Google may set cookies such as NID and DSID to serve and measure ads. These may be used, subject to your consent choice, for personalised advertising. You can review and change your Google ad settings at any time at https://adssettings.google.com.
Our cookie consent banner
The first time you visit savewaterdaily.com, a banner appears with three clear choices: Accept, Deny, and Preferences. Choosing Preferences opens per-category toggles so you can enable Functional, Analytics, or Advertising cookies independently. Strictly Necessary cookies are always on because the site cannot function without them. Your choice is saved in a small consent cookie so we do not ask again on every page. You can reopen the banner and change your decision at any time using the “Cookie preferences” link in the site footer.
Controlling cookies at the browser level
Every major browser lets you block, allow, or delete cookies through its settings. Useful links:

Blocking cookies at the browser level is a stricter control than our banner and will override anything you accept here. Some site features (such as staying signed in as a contributor) will stop working if all cookies are blocked.
How data collected via cookies is used
For a full explanation of what the site collects, how long it is kept, who processes it on our behalf (such as Google), and the rights you have over your data, please read our Privacy Policy at https://savewaterdaily.com/privacy-policy.

Questions about this policy, or a request to reset your consent choice on our end, can be sent to [email protected]. If we materially change how cookies work on the site, we will update this page and reset the consent banner so you can review your choice again.
