This Cookie Policy explains how Gardeners Old Malden 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.

What Are Cookies

Cookies are small text files that are downloaded to your device when you visit a website. They allow the website to recognise your device and store certain information about your preferences or past actions. Cookies can improve your browsing experience, support website security, and help us understand how visitors use our website.

Some cookies are set directly by our website, while others may be set by third parties that provide services to us, such as analytics or advertising partners.

Types of Cookies We Use

Essential Cookies

Essential cookies are necessary for the basic operation of our website. Without these cookies, some services and features would not function correctly. We use essential cookies to remember your session, manage your consent choices, protect our website from misuse, and provide core features such as page navigation.

Because these cookies are strictly required for the website to work, they cannot be disabled through our website. You can still block them via your browser settings, but parts of the site may not function properly if you do.

Analytics Cookies

Analytics cookies help us understand how visitors use our website. They collect information such as which pages are visited, how long visitors stay on each page, which links are clicked, and any error messages that occur. The information collected is aggregated and does not directly identify individual visitors.

We use analytics cookies to monitor the performance of our website, identify which content is most useful, and make improvements based on how people actually use the site. This performance monitoring helps us ensure that the website is reliable, responsive, and easy to navigate.

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. These cookies may be set by us or by carefully selected third parties who provide marketing or advertising services.

Marketing cookies can help limit how often you see a particular advertisement and help us understand whether our advertising is reaching the right audience. If you disable these cookies, you may still see advertisements, but they may be less relevant to you.

Performance Monitoring and Site Improvement

We use a combination of analytics and performance related cookies to monitor how well our website performs. This includes tracking page load times, responsiveness, error rates, and how visitors move through the site.

The insights we gain from this monitoring allow us to identify technical issues, optimise page layout, improve navigation, and prioritise updates that make the site faster and more reliable. All data used for performance monitoring is handled in a way that aims to protect your privacy and is typically aggregated.

User Control and Managing Cookies

You have several options to control how cookies are used on your device. Most web browsers allow you to accept or reject cookies, delete existing cookies, or receive a warning before a cookie is stored.

You can usually manage cookies in the settings or preferences section of your browser. The method varies by browser and device, so you may wish to consult the help section of your browser for detailed instructions. If you choose to block some or all cookies, certain features of our website may not work as intended.

In addition to browser controls, you may be able to manage preferences for some third party analytics and marketing cookies through the settings they provide. If you adjust your cookie settings, we recommend that you also refresh your browser to ensure that your new preferences are applied.

Changes To This Cookie Policy

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 be posted on this page with an updated effective date.

Your continued use of our website after any changes to this policy will constitute your acceptance of those changes. We encourage you to review this Cookie Policy periodically so that you remain informed about how we use cookies and how you can manage them.
