Last updated: August 14, 2026

This Cookie Policy explains how The Home Store (“we”) uses cookies and similar technologies on this website.

Cookies are small text files stored on your device. Similar technologies include localStorage, pixels, and embedded scripts. Essential cookies keep the site secure and working. Optional cookies such as analytics, marketing, and embeds load only after you give consent through our Cookie Settings banner.

The inventory below comes from a privacy scan of this site. It lists cookies and related technologies we observed, with category and purpose where known. Re-scan and refresh this page after major site changes so the list stays current. This is a technical disclosure, not a legal compliance guarantee.

You can Accept All, Reject All (essential only), or Customize categories at any time with Cookie Settings on this site. Rejecting optional cookies, or pressing Escape on the banner, keeps only essential technologies active.

Privacy rights and Do Not Sell or Share

You may also withdraw consent for optional cookies and opt out of certain advertising, sale, or sharing of personal information as those terms are defined under US state privacy laws such as CCPA / CPRA.

Cookie Settings on this site control optional cookies and similar technologies. Broader privacy rights requests such as access, deletion, and Do Not Sell or Share are handled through the links and contact methods below. They are explained in full in our Privacy Policy.
