Gardeners New Addington Cookie Policy

This Cookie Policy explains how Gardeners New Addington uses cookies and similar technologies on our website. It describes what cookies are, the types of cookies we use, why we use them, and how you can manage your cookie preferences. By continuing to use our website, you agree that cookies may be placed on your device as described in this policy.

What Are Cookies

Cookies are small text files that are stored on your device when you visit a website. They allow the website to recognise your device and remember certain information about your visit. This can include your preferences, pages you have visited, and actions you have taken. Cookies help us to provide a smoother, more personalised browsing experience and to understand how our website is performing.

Types of Cookies We Use

We use several categories of cookies on the Gardeners New Addington website. Each type serves a different purpose and helps us to improve the service we provide to you.

Essential Cookies

Essential cookies are necessary for the basic operation of our website. Without these cookies, certain services and features cannot function properly. They enable core functionalities such as page navigation, secure areas of the website, and basic performance features. These cookies do not gather information that could be used for marketing or to remember your activity on other websites. Because they are required for the site to work, essential cookies cannot generally be disabled through our website, though you may still be able to block them using your browser settings.

Analytics Cookies

Analytics cookies help us understand how visitors use our website. They collect information such as which pages are visited most often, how long users stay on each page, and any error messages that may occur. The information is aggregated and does not directly identify individual visitors. We use analytics cookies to monitor website performance, measure the effectiveness of our content, and identify areas where the website can be improved. By analysing this data, we can make informed decisions about layout, navigation, and the content that is most useful to our visitors.

Marketing Cookies

Marketing cookies are used to deliver content and advertisements that are more relevant to your interests. They may be set by us or by carefully selected third parties who provide marketing services on our behalf. These cookies can remember that you have visited our website and may help build a profile of your interests based on your browsing behaviour. Marketing cookies may also limit how often you see a particular advertisement and measure the effectiveness of advertising campaigns. If you choose not to allow marketing cookies, you may still see advertisements, but they are likely to be less tailored to your preferences.

Performance Monitoring and Website Improvements

One of the main reasons we use cookies, particularly analytics cookies, is to monitor the performance of the Gardeners New Addington website. We analyse how visitors navigate the site, which pages are popular, and how quickly pages load. This information helps us to identify technical issues, improve page speed, refine our content, and ensure that our visitors can find the information and gardening services they need with ease. Performance monitoring enables us to continually enhance usability and reliability for all users.

User Control and Managing Cookies

You have control over how cookies are used on your device. When you first visit our website, you may be presented with options to manage your cookie preferences. You can choose to accept all cookies, reject non-essential cookies, or customise which categories you allow. In addition, most web browsers provide controls that let you view, delete, and block cookies. You can usually find these options in your browser settings under privacy or security. Please note that restricting certain types of cookies, especially essential cookies, may affect how our website functions and could impact your ability to use some features.

Changes to This Cookie Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in technology, legal requirements, or our practices. Any updates will be posted on this page with a revised date. We encourage you to review this policy regularly so that you remain informed about how Gardeners New Addington uses cookies and how you can manage them.
