Gardeners Erith Cookie Policy

This Cookie Policy explains how Gardeners Erith uses cookies and similar technologies on this website. It sets out what cookies are, the types of cookies we use, why we use them, and how you can manage your cookie settings. By continuing to use our website 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 by your web browser when you visit a website. They help websites remember information about your visit, such as your preferences, so that your experience can be improved when you return. Some cookies are necessary for the site to function, while others help us understand how visitors use our website or support our marketing activities.

Types of Cookies We Use

Gardeners Erith uses three main categories of cookies on this website: essential cookies, analytics cookies, and marketing cookies. Each category serves a different purpose and helps us deliver and improve our services.

Essential Cookies

Essential cookies are required for the basic operation of our website. They enable core functions such as page navigation, secure areas, and form submissions. Without these cookies, certain services you request cannot be provided and parts of the website may not function properly.

These cookies do not track your browsing activity outside our website and are not used for marketing purposes. Because they are strictly necessary for the operation of the site, they are set automatically when you visit and cannot be disabled through our on-site tools. You can still block them via your browser settings, but this may affect how the website functions.

Analytics Cookies

Analytics cookies help us understand how visitors interact with our website. They collect information such as which pages are visited, how long visitors stay, which links are clicked, and any error messages encountered. This information is aggregated and does not directly identify individual users.

We use analytics cookies to monitor website performance, measure traffic patterns, and identify areas that may need improvement. This performance monitoring allows Gardeners Erith to make informed decisions about updates to content, layout, and navigation so that the site remains useful, efficient, and relevant for 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 third party partners that provide services to support our marketing activities. These cookies can help limit how often you see an advertisement and measure the effectiveness of campaigns.

Marketing cookies may track your visits to our website and other websites so that a profile of your interests can be built. This information enables personalised content and promotions related to Gardeners Erith to be shown to you on other platforms. If you choose to disable marketing cookies, you may still see advertisements, but they may be less relevant to you.

How We Use Cookies for Performance Monitoring

Gardeners Erith uses cookies to monitor the overall performance and reliability of our website. By analysing aggregated data from analytics and certain functional cookies, we can identify technical issues, understand how quickly pages load, and see how users move through the site.

This performance monitoring helps us maintain a secure and stable website, enhance usability, and ensure that our content is easy to find. It also supports planning for future improvements, such as adding new features or adjusting existing ones, based on how visitors actually use the site.

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 accept or manage non-essential cookies such as analytics and marketing cookies. You can change your preferences at any time by adjusting your browser settings or using any on-site cookie tools that may be available.

Most web browsers allow you to refuse cookies, delete existing cookies, or receive a warning before cookies are stored. The method for doing this varies by browser, so please refer to your browser help section for detailed instructions. If you block certain types of cookies, parts of our website may not work as intended, and your overall experience may be affected.

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 use cookies on the Gardeners Erith website. Any updates will take effect when the revised policy is published on this page. We encourage you to check this policy regularly so you remain informed about how cookies are used.
