Gardeners Sanderstead Cookie Policy

This Cookie Policy explains how Gardeners Sanderstead uses cookies and similar technologies when you visit our website. It describes what cookies are, the types of cookies we use, the purposes for which we use them, and how you can manage your cookie preferences.

What Are Cookies

Cookies are small text files placed on your device by websites you visit. They help websites function properly, provide security features, remember your preferences, and improve your overall browsing experience. Some cookies are necessary for the site to work, while others are used to analyse performance or show relevant content and promotions.

Types of Cookies We Use

We use a combination of essential, analytics, and marketing cookies on the Gardeners Sanderstead website. These cookies may be set by us directly or by third-party service providers acting on our behalf.

Essential Cookies

Essential cookies are required for the website to operate correctly. Without these cookies, certain core features and security functions will not work as intended. These cookies are typically set in response to actions you take on the site, such as navigating between pages, submitting forms, or adjusting privacy settings.

Essential cookies do not store information that directly identifies you. They are used solely to deliver the services and features you explicitly request and to maintain the stability and security of our website.

Analytics Cookies

Analytics cookies help us understand how visitors use the Gardeners Sanderstead website. They collect information such as which pages are visited most often, how long visitors stay on a page, which features are clicked, and whether any errors occur. The information gathered is aggregated and does not directly identify individual users.

We use this data to monitor the performance of our site, identify areas that may require improvement, and ensure that our content and navigation remain helpful and efficient. Analytics cookies support continuous performance monitoring, allowing us to keep the website reliable, responsive, and relevant.

Marketing Cookies

Marketing cookies are used to deliver content and promotions that are more relevant to your interests. They may be set through our site by third-party partners that provide advertising or social media services. These cookies can help create a profile of your interests and show you tailored content on our website or on other websites you may visit.

Marketing cookies typically track your browsing activity across different websites. While they do not usually store information that directly identifies you, they may be used to recognise your device or browser over time.

Purpose of Cookies for Performance Monitoring

One of the main reasons we use cookies is to monitor and improve the performance of the Gardeners Sanderstead website. Performance monitoring cookies, which are usually analytics cookies, help us measure site speed, identify technical issues, and understand how visitors interact with our pages and features.

By analysing this information, we can optimise page loading times, refine navigation, enhance content layout, and ensure that forms and other interactive elements work smoothly. This enables us to maintain a reliable website experience for all visitors.

User Control and Cookie Management

You have the right to decide whether to accept or reject non-essential cookies. When you first visit our website, you may be presented with options to manage your cookie preferences. You can usually choose to accept all cookies, reject non-essential cookies, or customise which types of cookies you permit.

Most web browsers also allow you to control cookies through their settings. You can configure your browser to block or delete cookies, receive alerts before cookies are stored, or limit cookies to selected websites. Please be aware that blocking or removing essential cookies may affect how the website functions and could prevent you from using certain features.

You can change your cookie preferences at any time by adjusting your browser settings. Changes will not remove cookies that have already been placed on your device, but you can delete them manually within your browser.

Changes to This Cookie Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in technology, legal requirements, or how we operate our website. 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 our use of cookies and your choices.
