Privacy Policy

Information We Collect

LawnByCounty does not collect personal information beyond standard web analytics (page views, referrers, browser type, and approximate region) via Google Analytics. We do not require account creation, logins, or any form of registration, and we do not ask you to submit personal data to browse county lawn-care data.

Analytics

We use Google Analytics to understand aggregate site usage patterns — which county, grass, and seeding-calendar pages are viewed, where visitors arrive from, and which browsers and devices are common. Google Analytics sets cookies (including _ga and _gid) to distinguish unique visitors and sessions.

We use this data only in aggregate to improve the site. We do not attempt to identify individual visitors, and we do not sell any personal data to third parties.

Cookies

This site uses cookies from the following services:

• Google Analytics — first-party analytics cookies used to count unique visitors and sessions and to measure aggregate usage.
• Google AdSense — we display advertisements through Google AdSense. AdSense and its advertising partners use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this site and other websites, and to measure ad performance. These are third-party advertising cookies that are not controlled by LawnByCounty.

We do not sell any personal data to third parties.

Google AdSense and Third-Party Advertising

Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on your visits to this website and other sites on the internet. Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to you based on your browsing history. Ad placements on LawnByCounty are clearly delineated as advertising and do not influence which counties or grass types we feature on data pages.

You may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings. You can also opt out of third-party vendor cookies for personalized advertising by visiting aboutads.info or the Network Advertising Initiative opt-out.

Google explains how its advertising services use information from partner sites at How Google uses information from sites or apps that use our services, and describes its advertising cookies and controls at Google Advertising.

Affiliate Links

Some pages include affiliate links to grass-seed and lawn-care products. If you click such a link and make a purchase, we may earn a commission at no additional cost to you. Affiliate links are labeled and do not determine which counties or grass types we feature on data pages. The partner's own site may set its own cookies once you follow an affiliate link; that activity is governed by the partner's privacy policy, not ours.

Your Choices

Most web browsers allow you to control cookies through their settings. You can configure your browser to refuse all cookies, accept only first-party cookies, or delete cookies when you close your browser. Note that disabling cookies may affect site functionality. For more information about managing cookies, visit allaboutcookies.org.

Data Sources

The lawn-care data on this site is derived from public government datasets — the USDA Plant Hardiness Zone Map, NOAA Climate Normals, USDA SSURGO, and the US Drought Monitor. These sources do not receive any information about your visit to this site. See our methodology page for details on how the data is sourced and computed.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this privacy policy from time to time. The latest version will always be posted on this page with an updated "Last updated" date. Continued use of the site after changes constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.
