This Cookie Policy explains how Gardeners Cheam 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, you agree that cookies may be stored on your device in accordance with this policy, unless you have disabled them in your browser settings.

What Are Cookies

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer, tablet, or smartphone when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work, to improve their efficiency, and to provide information to the website owner. Cookies may be set directly by us, known as first party cookies, or by third parties providing services on our behalf, known as third party cookies.

Types of Cookies We Use

Essential Cookies

Essential cookies are necessary for the basic operation of the Gardeners Cheam website. They enable core functionalities such as page navigation, secure areas, and form submissions. Without these cookies, parts of the site will not function properly. These cookies do not collect information that identifies you personally and are usually set in response to actions you take, such as requesting a service or moving through the website.

Analytics and Performance Cookies

Analytics cookies help us understand how visitors use the Gardeners Cheam website. They collect information such as which pages are visited most often, how users move around the site, and whether they encounter errors. The information gathered is aggregated and does not directly identify individual visitors.

The purpose of these cookies is to support performance monitoring and continuous improvement of our website. By analysing trends and usage patterns, we can evaluate which content is most useful, identify areas that may require changes, and optimize page load times. This allows us to provide a smoother, more relevant experience for visitors.

Marketing and Personalisation Cookies

Marketing cookies are used to deliver content that is more relevant to your interests. They may be set through our site by us or by carefully selected third parties who provide advertising or social media services. These cookies can remember that you have visited our site and may help show you adverts or content that is tailored to your gardening interests.

These cookies may also be used to limit how often you see certain messages and to measure the effectiveness of any promotional activity. Information collected through marketing cookies may be combined with other non-identifying information to build a general profile of your preferences.

How We Use Cookies for Performance Monitoring

Gardeners Cheam uses cookies specifically to monitor website performance and reliability. By examining aggregated usage data, we can measure response times, identify technical issues, and ensure that pages load consistently across different devices and browsers.

Performance monitoring through cookies allows us to test new features, evaluate design changes, and ensure that the overall user journey remains intuitive. This ongoing process helps us maintain a website that works efficiently for all visitors and supports our gardening services effectively.

User Control and Managing Cookies

You have the right to control how cookies are used on your device. Most web browsers allow you to manage cookies through their settings. You can choose to block all cookies, accept only certain types, or delete cookies that have already been set.

If you choose to disable essential cookies, some features of the Gardeners Cheam website may not function correctly, and your experience may be limited. Disabling analytics or marketing cookies will not affect the core operation of the site, but it may reduce our ability to improve performance and provide relevant content.

To manage cookies, refer to the help section or privacy settings within your browser. From there, you can view the cookies currently stored, set preferences for future cookies, and clear existing data.

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in technology, legal requirements, or how we operate our website. Any changes will take effect when the updated policy is published on the Gardeners Cheam website. We encourage you to review this page periodically to stay informed about how we use cookies and how you can manage them.
