Advertising
HerbalHealer uses Google AdSense to display advertisements.
Google AdSense may use cookies and similar technologies to help deliver advertisements, measure advertising performance, manage frequency and, depending on applicable settings and consent, personalize advertising.
Google explains that AdSense can place cookies after an ad impression, click or other interaction that results in a request to Google’s servers.
Google also states that third-party vendors, including Google, may use cookies to serve advertisements based on a user’s previous visits to a website or other websites.
3. Google AdSense Cookies
Because HerbalHealer participates in Google AdSense, third-party advertising technologies may be used on pages displaying advertisements.
These technologies may include:
- Cookies
- Web beacons
- IP addresses
- Similar identifiers or technologies
Google’s publisher policies require publishers using Google products to disclose the data collection, sharing and usage associated with those products, including the technologies used.
Google explains that advertising cookies can be used for purposes including advertising relevance, campaign-performance reporting and avoiding repeatedly showing the same advertisement.
4. Personalized Advertising
Depending on your location, consent choices, and available advertising settings, Google may use information associated with advertising cookies to help personalize advertisements.
Users can manage Google’s personalized advertising settings through Google’s advertising controls.

Google explains that users can opt out of personalized advertising through Ads Settings.
Choosing not to receive personalized advertising does not necessarily mean that you will stop seeing advertisements. You may continue to receive contextual or non-personalized advertisements.
5. Third-Party Cookies
Some cookies used on HerbalHealer may belong to third parties rather than HerbalHealer.
Third-party services may include providers involved in:
- Advertising
- Analytics
- Website security
- Embedded content
- Social media

Third-party cookies are controlled by the relevant third party and may be subject to that company’s own privacy and cookie policies.

6. Cookies and International Visitors
HerbalHealer serves visitors from Uganda and other countries, including the United Kingdom, United States, Canada, Australia, New Zealand and countries in Europe.
Cookie and privacy requirements can differ depending on where a visitor is located.
For visitors in the European Economic Area (EEA), United Kingdom and Switzerland, Google has specific consent requirements for publishers using its advertising products. Where legally required, consent must be obtained for the use of cookies or similar local storage and for certain processing of personal information for personalized advertising.
HerbalHealer may therefore display different consent or privacy choices depending on a visitor’s location and applicable requirements.
7. Cookie Consent
Where consent is legally required, HerbalHealer may use a consent-management system to ask visitors whether they wish to allow certain categories of cookies and related technologies.
Depending on the visitor’s location, the consent interface may allow visitors to:
- Accept cookies
- Reject non-essential cookies
- Manage cookie preferences
- Change previously selected preferences
Google’s Privacy & Messaging system can provide publishers with privacy messages and consent-management functionality for relevant regulatory requirements.
Important: The exact consent mechanism used on HerbalHealer will depend on the cookie-consent/CMP system actually installed on the website.
