What Are Cookies

Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. They help the website remember your actions and preferences over a period of time, making your browsing experience more efficient and personalised. Cookies can be session cookies, which expire when you close your browser, or persistent cookies, which remain on your device for a set period or until you delete them.

Types of Cookies We Use

Gardeners Charlton uses several types of cookies to ensure the website functions properly and to help us understand how visitors interact with our content.

Essential Cookies

Essential cookies are necessary for the basic operation of the website. Without these cookies, key features and services would not work correctly. They are typically set in response to actions you take, such as navigating between pages, filling in forms, or setting your privacy preferences.

These cookies do not store information that directly identifies you. They are used to maintain secure connections, support page loading, and remember basic site configuration so that the website can function as intended.

Analytics Cookies

Analytics cookies help us understand how visitors use the Gardeners Charlton website. They collect information such as which pages are visited, how long users stay on each page, the type of device and browser used, and general patterns of navigation.

The information provided by analytics cookies is aggregated and anonymised. We use it to monitor site performance, identify areas that may need improvement, and make informed decisions about content and layout. This performance monitoring allows us to enhance the overall user experience, ensure the website is responsive, and resolve technical issues more effectively.

Marketing Cookies

Marketing cookies are used to deliver content and messages that are more relevant to your interests. They may help us measure the effectiveness of promotional campaigns, understand how users arrive at our website, and provide more tailored information about Gardeners Charlton services.

These cookies may be set by us or by partners that provide advertising or marketing services on our behalf. They can help to limit how often you see certain messages and support our efforts to offer content that aligns with your preferences.

Cookies and Performance Monitoring

Gardeners Charlton uses cookies as part of our ongoing performance monitoring. By analysing cookie data, we can track website stability, loading times, and user interactions. This helps us maintain a reliable and efficient website, improve page layouts, and ensure that important information is easy to find.

Performance monitoring through cookies also enables us to test new features and design changes safely, so that updates improve rather than disrupt your experience.

User Control and Managing Cookies

You have control over how cookies are used on your device. Most web browsers allow you to review, delete, or block cookies, and to set preferences for different websites. You can usually find these options in the privacy or security settings of your browser.

If you choose to disable or block certain cookies, parts of the Gardeners Charlton website may not function properly, and your browsing experience may be affected. Essential cookies are required for core functionality, so blocking them may prevent you from accessing some features or completing certain actions on the site.

You can also clear cookies stored on your device at any time. Doing so may remove saved preferences and require you to reenter certain information or settings when you return to the website.
