What Are Cookies

Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. They help websites recognise your device, remember your preferences, and understand how visitors interact with pages and features. 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

We use three main categories of cookies on the Gardeners Addiscombe website. Each category serves a different purpose and may be necessary for the website to function correctly or to help us understand and improve performance.

Essential Cookies

Essential cookies are required for the basic operation of our website. They enable core functions such as page navigation, secure access to certain areas, and the correct display of content. Without these cookies, the website may not work properly. These cookies do not collect information that identifies you as an individual and are usually set only 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 our website. They collect information such as which pages are visited, how long users stay on each page, which features are used, and any error messages encountered. This information is aggregated and does not directly identify individual visitors. We use analytics cookies to monitor website performance, measure the effectiveness of our content, and identify areas where the user experience can be improved.

Marketing Cookies

Marketing cookies are used to deliver content that is 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 measure the effectiveness of promotions, understand which services attract more attention, and ensure that, where advertising is used, it is more closely aligned with what visitors may find useful. Marketing cookies can track your browsing activity across websites to build a profile of your interests.

Performance Monitoring and Improvements

We use analytics and certain marketing cookies for performance monitoring. The data collected allows us to:

Monitor website speed and responsiveness so that pages load efficiently on different devices and connections.

Identify technical issues such as broken pages, display problems, or navigation difficulties.

Analyse visitor behaviour to understand which content, services, and features are most used or most helpful.

Evaluate changes and improvements by comparing traffic patterns and engagement over time.

This performance monitoring helps us maintain a reliable, secure, and user friendly website for visitors interested in Gardeners Addiscombe services.
