Gardeners Cranford Cookie Policy

This Cookie Policy explains how Gardeners Cranford uses cookies and similar technologies on its website. It sets out what cookies are, what types we use, why we use them, and how you can control their use. By continuing to browse our site after seeing the cookie notice, you agree to the use of cookies 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 help the website recognise your device, remember your preferences, and understand how you interact with the site. Some cookies are necessary for the website to function correctly, while others are used to improve performance, analyse usage, or support marketing activities.

Types of Cookies We Use

We group the cookies used on the Gardeners Cranford website into three main categories: essential cookies, analytics cookies, and marketing cookies. Each category serves a different purpose and may be active for different lengths of time.

Essential Cookies

Essential cookies are required for the basic operation of our website. They enable core functions such as page navigation, secure login areas where applicable, and access to features that rely on your previous actions, such as remembering items you place in a basket or preferences you have selected.

Without these cookies, our website cannot function properly and certain services you request may not be provided. Because they are strictly necessary for the operation of the site, essential cookies cannot usually be disabled through our systems, although you may still block them using your browser settings. Doing so may cause parts of the site to stop working as intended.

Analytics Cookies

Analytics cookies help us understand how visitors use the Gardeners Cranford website. These cookies collect information such as which pages are visited most frequently, how long users stay on each page, which features are used, and whether any errors occur.

The information gathered is aggregated and does not directly identify individual visitors. We use analytics cookies to monitor website performance, identify areas where the user experience can be improved, and ensure our content is relevant and accessible. Performance monitoring with analytics cookies allows us to make informed decisions about design, functionality, and content updates.

Marketing Cookies

Marketing cookies are used to deliver content and advertising that are more relevant to your interests. They may be set by Gardeners Cranford or by third party partners we work with. These cookies can help limit the number of times you see an advertisement, measure the effectiveness of marketing campaigns, and tailor content based on your browsing behaviour.

Marketing cookies can track your visits across different websites and build a profile of your interests. This information is typically anonymised, but it is used to present you with more targeted messages and offers that may be of interest to you.

How We Use Cookies for Performance Monitoring

We rely on analytics and certain functional cookies to monitor the performance of the Gardeners Cranford website. Performance monitoring includes assessing page load times, navigation flows, interaction with features, and technical errors that visitors may encounter.

By analysing this data, we can improve site speed, refine navigation, enhance accessibility, and ensure that important information about our gardening services is easy to find. These insights help us maintain a reliable and user friendly website and support continuous improvement of the overall online experience.

User Control and Cookie Management

You have control over how cookies are used on your device. When you first visit the Gardeners Cranford website, you may be presented with a cookie notice or banner that gives you options to accept or manage cookie settings. You can typically choose to accept all cookies, reject non essential cookies, or adjust preferences by category.

In addition to on site controls, most web browsers allow you to manage cookies directly through their settings. You can usually configure your browser to block certain types of cookies, delete existing cookies, or notify you when a cookie is being set. Please note that blocking or deleting cookies, especially essential cookies, may affect the functionality of our website and limit your ability to use certain 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 use of cookies. Any updates will be posted on this page with an updated revision date. We encourage you to review this policy periodically to stay informed about how Gardeners Cranford uses cookies and how you can manage your preferences.
