Gardeners Merton Cookie Policy
This Cookie Policy explains how Gardeners Merton uses cookies and similar technologies on our website. It describes the types of cookies we use, the purposes for which we use them, and the choices you have in managing your cookie preferences. By continuing to use our website, you agree to the placement of cookies 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 help the website recognise your device, remember your preferences, and provide information to the website owner. Some cookies are necessary for the site to function, while others support performance monitoring, analytics, and marketing activities.
Types of Cookies We Use
Essential Cookies
Essential cookies are required for the basic operation of our website. Without these cookies, certain services and features would not function correctly. They enable core functions such as navigation between pages, access to secure areas, and correct display of content. These cookies do not gather information for marketing purposes and are generally set in response to actions you take, such as setting your privacy preferences or filling in forms.
Analytics Cookies
Analytics cookies help us understand how visitors use the Gardeners Merton website. They collect information about pages visited, time spent on each page, and any error messages encountered. We use this information in an aggregated form to analyse website performance and user behaviour. This supports performance monitoring by allowing us to identify which content is most useful, which areas may require improvement, and how effectively the site is functioning overall.
These cookies do not directly identify you as an individual. Instead, they provide statistical insights that enable us to enhance the user experience, improve navigation, and optimise the performance of our services.
Marketing Cookies
Marketing cookies are used to deliver content and messages that are more relevant to your interests. They may remember that you have visited our website and help us measure the effectiveness of any promotional activities. These cookies can be used to build a profile of your browsing behaviour on our site and, in some cases, on other websites that use similar technologies.
Marketing cookies allow us to tailor our communications and understand which services or content may be most appealing to you. If you choose not to allow these cookies, you may still see general content, but it may be less relevant to your interests.
How We Use Cookies for Performance Monitoring
Gardeners Merton uses cookies to monitor and improve the performance of our website. Through analytics cookies, we track how the site is used, identify technical issues, and measure the effectiveness of changes we make. Performance monitoring helps ensure that pages load correctly, forms work smoothly, and the overall browsing experience is reliable and efficient.
Information gathered through performance monitoring is used to maintain and enhance the quality of our website, ensure stability, and support ongoing improvements to our digital services.
Your Cookie Choices and Control
You have control over how cookies are used on your device. Most web browsers allow you to manage cookie settings, including blocking or deleting cookies. You can usually configure your browser to accept all cookies, reject all cookies, or notify you when a cookie is set. Please note that if you disable essential cookies, parts of our website may not function correctly.
You can also adjust your preferences for analytics and marketing cookies, either through your browser settings or any cookie preference tools that may be available on our site. Your choices may affect your experience of our website and the relevance of the content you see, but you will still be able to access core services.
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, and the revised policy will take effect when published. We encourage you to review this policy periodically to stay informed about how Gardeners Merton uses cookies and how you can manage your preferences.
