What Are Cookies

Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites function properly, to improve performance, and to provide information to the website owner. 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 several categories of cookies on the Gardeners Eltham website. These include essential cookies, analytics cookies, and marketing cookies. Each type of cookie has a specific purpose that helps us deliver and improve our online services.

Essential Cookies

Essential cookies are necessary for the basic operation of our website. Without these cookies, core features of the site would not function correctly. They enable functions such as page navigation, secure areas, and basic accessibility tools. These cookies do not store personally identifiable information and are usually only set in response to your actions, such as filling in forms or adjusting privacy settings. Because they are required for the website to work, you cannot switch off essential cookies through our site, although you can still block them through your browser settings. Doing so, however, may affect how the site functions.

Analytics Cookies

Analytics cookies help us understand how visitors use the Gardeners Eltham website. They allow us to count visits, see which pages are most popular, and understand how users move around the site. The information collected is typically aggregated and does not directly identify you. We use analytics cookies to monitor performance, diagnose technical issues, and make informed improvements to our content, navigation, and overall user experience. By analysing trends and usage patterns, these cookies help us ensure that our website remains reliable, fast, and relevant for visitors.

Marketing Cookies

Marketing cookies are used to deliver content and messages that may be more relevant to your interests. They can help us measure the effectiveness of our promotional activities by tracking interactions with certain pages or content. These cookies may remember that you have visited our site and can be used to present more tailored information about Gardeners Eltham services when you browse elsewhere. Marketing cookies may involve the use of third party tools that assist with audience measurement and promotional campaigns. If you choose to disable marketing cookies, you may see less relevant content, but you will still be able to use the main features of our website.

Cookies and Performance Monitoring

We use cookies to monitor the performance of the Gardeners Eltham website and to ensure that it operates efficiently. Performance monitoring includes tracking page load times, error rates, and overall responsiveness. By understanding how quickly pages load, which features are used most often, and where users encounter issues, we can identify areas that need attention and optimise our site accordingly. This ongoing analysis helps us deliver a smoother, more consistent experience and maintain the reliability of our online services.

Your Cookie Choices and Control

You can change your preferences at any time by adjusting your browser settings to block or delete cookies. Each browser offers different controls, usually found in the privacy or security settings. Please be aware that if you choose to disable some or all cookies, parts of our website may not function as intended, and your overall user experience could be affected.
