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, while others support performance monitoring, analytics, and marketing activities.

Types of Cookies We Use

Essential Cookies

Essential cookies are required for the core operation of our website. Without these cookies, certain services and features would not work correctly. They are typically set in response to actions you take, such as navigating between pages, adjusting privacy preferences, or filling in forms. These cookies do not gather information for marketing purposes and are not used to track your browsing across other websites.

Analytics and Performance Cookies

Analytics cookies help us understand how visitors use the Gardeners Eastcote website. They collect information such as the pages you visit, how long you stay on each page, and any error messages you might encounter. We use this information in aggregated form to monitor website performance, measure visitor numbers, and identify areas where we can improve the layout, content, or navigation of the site.

The purpose of these cookies is to support performance monitoring so we can ensure that the website remains reliable, fast, and relevant to our visitors. These cookies do not directly identify you, but they may use identifiers that help us recognise returning visitors in a general, non personal way.

Marketing and Preference Cookies

Marketing cookies are used to tailor content and advertising to be more relevant to your interests. They may be set by us or by third party partners who provide services on our website. These cookies can help us understand the effectiveness of our marketing campaigns and refine our messaging. They may also be used to limit how often you see a particular advertisement and to measure how users engage with marketing content.

Preference cookies allow the website to remember choices you make, such as language or region, so that your experience is more personalised when you return to the site.

How We Use Cookies for Performance Monitoring

Gardeners Eastcote uses cookies to monitor the overall performance and reliability of our website. By analysing cookie data, we can identify technical issues, optimise page loading times, and improve the structure and content of the site. This performance monitoring ensures that visitors can quickly find information about our gardening services and enjoy a smooth browsing experience.

We may use aggregated statistics from analytics cookies to understand trends, such as which pages are most popular or which features are most frequently used. This information informs ongoing improvements to the usability and design of the website.

User Control and Managing Cookies

You have control over how cookies are used on your device. Most web browsers allow you to manage cookie settings, including accepting or rejecting different categories of cookies and deleting existing cookies. You can usually find these options in the privacy or security section of your browser settings.

Please be aware that disabling essential cookies may affect the functionality of the website and could prevent some features from working properly. Disabling analytics or marketing cookies will not impact core site functionality, but it may reduce the relevance of content and limit our ability to improve the website based on user behaviour.
