What Are Cookies

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work efficiently, to improve user experience, and to provide website owners with information about how their sites are used. Cookies may be set directly by our website or by third parties acting on our behalf.

Types of Cookies We Use

Essential Cookies

Essential cookies are necessary for the basic operation of the Gardeners South Harrow website. These cookies enable core functions such as page navigation, secure access to certain areas, and correct display of content. The website cannot function properly without these cookies, and they are usually set in response to actions you take, such as submitting a form or adjusting privacy preferences. Because they are required for the service you request, essential cookies cannot generally be disabled through our systems.

Analytics Cookies

Analytics cookies help us understand how visitors use the Gardeners South Harrow website. They collect information such as which pages are visited, how long users stay on a page, and how they navigate through the site. The information gathered is aggregated and does not directly identify individual visitors. We use analytics cookies to monitor website performance, identify areas for improvement, and ensure our content is relevant and easy to find.

By analysing this data, we can improve the structure, design, and content of our website, making it more useful and efficient for visitors. These cookies support our ongoing performance monitoring by allowing us to measure load times, detect errors, and track the overall responsiveness of the site.

Marketing Cookies

Marketing cookies are used to deliver content and promotions that are more relevant to your interests. They may be set through our site by third party partners who provide advertising or analytics services. These cookies can help build a profile of your interests by tracking your interactions with our website and, in some cases, with other websites. This allows us to measure the effectiveness of our marketing campaigns and to present information about Gardeners South Harrow that may be more closely aligned with your needs.

If you choose not to allow marketing cookies, you may still see general promotions, but they may be less tailored to you.
