It describes the types of cookies we use, the purposes for which we use them, and how you can manage 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 stored on your device by your web browser when you visit a website. They enable the website to recognise your device and store information about your visit, such as your preferences or actions. Some cookies are necessary for the site to function correctly, while others help us improve performance, understand visitor behaviour, and support our marketing activities.
Types of Cookies We Use
Essential Cookies
Essential cookies are required for the basic operation of the Gardeners Tooting website. Without these cookies, certain core features and services cannot function properly. They are typically set in response to actions you take, such as navigating between pages, filling in forms, or setting your privacy preferences. These cookies do not store information that directly identifies you and cannot be switched off through our website tools, although you can configure your browser to block them. Doing so may cause parts of the site to fail or behave unexpectedly.
Analytics Cookies
Analytics cookies help us understand how visitors use the Gardeners Tooting website. They collect information such as which pages are visited most often, how long visitors stay on each page, and how users arrive at the site. The data gathered is aggregated and does not aim to identify individual visitors. We use this information to monitor website performance, identify technical issues, and make improvements to content, design, and navigation. Analytics cookies are important for ensuring that the site remains reliable, efficient, and relevant to our visitors.
Marketing Cookies
Marketing cookies are used to deliver content that is more relevant to your interests and to measure the effectiveness of our promotional activities. They may be set by Gardeners Tooting or by third party partners who provide advertising or social media services. These cookies help us understand which services or offers might be of interest to you, limit the number of times you see a particular advertisement, and measure how well our marketing campaigns perform. If you choose to disable marketing cookies, you may still see advertising, but it may be less tailored to your interests.
Performance Monitoring and Improvements
We use analytics and certain functional cookies to monitor the performance of the Gardeners Tooting website. This includes tracking loading times, error messages, navigation paths, and interactions with key features. The insights gathered allow us to identify areas where the website can be made faster, easier to use, and more reliable. By analysing aggregated usage data, we can refine our content, improve the structure of our pages, and ensure that our services are accessible and responsive across different devices and browsers.
User Control Over 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 cookies and deleting existing cookies. You can usually find these options in the privacy or security sections of your browser settings. Please note that disabling certain types of cookies, particularly essential cookies, may impact the functionality of the Gardeners Tooting website and limit your ability to use some features.
You may also be able to adjust your preferences for analytics and marketing cookies through tools or banners provided on our website when you first visit or when we update our cookie settings. Your choices may need to be renewed from time to time, especially if you clear cookies from your browser.
