What Are Cookies
Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They help the website recognise your device and store certain information about your preferences or actions. Cookies can be session cookies, which are deleted when you close your browser, or persistent cookies, which remain on your device for a set period or until you delete them.
Cookies are widely used to make websites work, to make them operate more efficiently, and to provide information to website owners about how visitors interact with their services.
Types of Cookies We Use
Essential Cookies
Essential cookies are necessary for the basic operation of the Gardeners Acton website. Without these cookies, some parts of the site would not function correctly. They are typically set in response to actions made by you such as navigating between pages, submitting forms, or setting privacy preferences.
These cookies do not store information that directly identifies you. They are used only to provide core features such as secure access, correct page loading, and remembering basic settings that are required for the site to run smoothly.
Analytics Cookies
Analytics cookies help us understand how visitors use the Gardeners Acton website. They collect information such as which pages are visited, how long visitors stay on a page, which features are used, and any error messages encountered. The information is aggregated and does not directly identify individual users.
We use analytics cookies to monitor website performance, analyse trends, and improve the overall user experience. By examining this data, we can identify which content is most useful, which pages may need improvement, and how to make our site easier to navigate.
Marketing Cookies
Marketing cookies are used to deliver content that is more relevant to your interests. They may be set by Gardeners Acton or by third party partners that provide advertising or social media services. These cookies can help ensure that any adverts or promotional messages you see are more tailored to your needs and interests.
Marketing cookies may track your browsing activity across different websites to build a profile of your preferences. This information is typically used to show you targeted advertising. You can choose to disable these cookies if you prefer a less personalised experience.
Cookies and Performance Monitoring
Gardeners Acton uses cookies as a key part of our performance monitoring. By collecting anonymous and aggregated data about how visitors use our website, we can measure the effectiveness of our content and identify any technical issues.
Performance monitoring through cookies allows us to test new features, optimise loading times, and ensure that pages display correctly across different devices and browsers. This continuous improvement helps us provide a stable, responsive, and user friendly website experience.
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 blocking cookies, deleting existing cookies, or receiving a notification before a cookie is stored. Please note that disabling essential cookies may affect the functionality and performance of the Gardeners Acton website.
To manage cookies, you can use the settings in your browser. Options typically allow you to accept or reject all cookies, accept only certain types, or delete cookies when you close your browser. You may also be able to use browser tools or built in settings to manage tracking technologies used for analytics and marketing.
If you choose to disable analytics or marketing cookies, some personalised features may not be available, and you may see less relevant content. However, the core functionality of the site should remain accessible as long as essential cookies are allowed.

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in technology, legal requirements, or how we operate our website. Any updates will take effect when the revised policy is published on the Gardeners Acton website.
