Gardeners Selsdon Cookie Policy Overview

This Cookie Policy explains how Gardeners Selsdon 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 to control their use. By continuing to use our website after seeing the cookie notice, you agree that cookies may be placed 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 and remember certain information about your visit, such as your preferences or actions. Cookies can be set directly by the website you are visiting or by third parties that provide services to that website.

Types of Cookies We Use

We use a combination of essential, analytics, and marketing cookies on the Gardeners Selsdon website. Each type plays a different role in supporting the performance, security, and experience of our site.

Essential Cookies

Essential cookies are necessary for the website to function correctly. They enable core features such as page navigation, access to secure areas, and the basic operation of forms. Without these cookies, the website may not work properly, and certain services you request cannot be provided. Because they are strictly necessary, essential cookies cannot usually be disabled through our site. However, you can set your browser to block these cookies, though this may cause parts of the site to fail.

Analytics Cookies

Analytics cookies help us understand how visitors use our website. We use them to collect information such as which pages are visited most often, how long visitors stay on each page, and how they move through the site. This information is aggregated and does not directly identify individual users. The insights gained from analytics cookies allow us to monitor website performance, identify issues, and improve the way our content is presented. By analysing trends and usage patterns, we can make the site faster, more intuitive, and more relevant to your needs.

Marketing Cookies

Marketing cookies are used to deliver content and messages that are more relevant to your interests. They may be set by us or by carefully selected third parties who provide advertising or social media services. These cookies can help measure the effectiveness of campaigns and limit how often you see certain messages. They may also help us build a better understanding of what services or content may be of interest to you. If you choose to disable marketing cookies, you will still see content and information, but it may be less tailored to your preferences.

How We Use Cookies for Performance Monitoring

Gardeners Selsdon uses cookies to monitor the performance and reliability of our website. Through analytics and similar technologies, we track page load times, error rates, and how visitors interact with key features. This data allows us to identify technical issues, optimise the structure of our pages, and ensure that important information is easy to find. Over time, performance monitoring helps us maintain a stable, secure, and responsive website experience.

User Control and Cookie Management

You have the right to choose how cookies are used on your device. When you first visit our website, you may be presented with a notice that allows you to accept or adjust certain cookie settings. In addition, most web browsers allow you to manage cookies through their settings. You can usually configure your browser to block all cookies, accept only certain types, or delete cookies when you close your browser.

If you decide to disable some or all cookies, please be aware that essential features of the website may no longer function as intended. Pages may not display correctly, and some services may become unavailable. If you delete cookies, any preferences previously stored will also be lost and may need to be set again on your next visit.

Changes to This Cookie Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in technology, legal requirements, or the way we operate our website. Any revised version will apply from the date it is published on our site. We encourage you to review this page periodically so you remain informed about how Gardeners Selsdon uses cookies and how you can manage them.
