Gardeners Hornsey Cookie Policy

This Cookie Policy explains how Gardeners Hornsey 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 options you have to manage your cookie preferences. By continuing to use our website, you agree to the placement of cookies on your device as described in this policy, unless you have adjusted your browser settings to refuse cookies.

What Are Cookies

Cookies are small text files that are stored on your device when you visit a website. They help websites recognise your device, remember your preferences, and understand how you interact with different pages and features. Some cookies are necessary for the website to function properly, while others help us improve performance and support our marketing activities.

Types of Cookies We Use

We use several categories of cookies on the Gardeners Hornsey website. Each type serves a different purpose and may remain on your device for varying lengths of time, either for the duration of your visit or for repeat visits.

Essential Cookies

Essential cookies are necessary for the basic operation of our website. They enable core features such as page navigation, secure areas, and access to forms or booking tools. Without these cookies, the website may not function correctly, and some services you request cannot be provided. These cookies do not store information that can identify you directly and are usually set only in response to actions you take, such as setting your privacy preferences or submitting a form.

Analytics Cookies

Analytics cookies help us understand how visitors use our website. They collect information such as which pages are visited most often, how visitors move around the site, and whether they encounter error messages. The data gathered is aggregated and does not directly identify you. We use this information to analyse trends, assess which content is most useful, and refine the website to make it more user friendly. These cookies are important for performance monitoring, as they allow us to track the effectiveness and reliability of our web pages over time.

Marketing Cookies

Marketing cookies are used to deliver content and promotions that are more relevant to your interests. They may be set by us or by third party partners who provide marketing services on our behalf. These cookies help limit the number of times you see a particular advertisement and measure the effectiveness of marketing campaigns. Information collected by marketing cookies may be combined with other non personal data to build a picture of your preferences, so we can tailor our communications and offers more appropriately.

Performance Monitoring and Improvement

One of the key reasons we use cookies, particularly analytics cookies, is to monitor the performance of the Gardeners Hornsey website. Performance monitoring involves measuring page load times, identifying broken or slow pages, and understanding how visitors navigate through the site. This insight allows us to improve the reliability, speed, and overall experience of our online services. By analysing cookie data in this way, we can prioritise updates, refine content, and ensure that core features work efficiently for all users.

Your Cookie Choices and Control

You have the ability to manage and control cookies through your browser settings. Most web browsers allow you to block or delete cookies, accept certain types, or receive a warning before a cookie is stored on your device. If you choose to disable essential cookies, some parts of our website may not function properly, and your experience may be affected. Disabling analytics or marketing cookies will not impact core functionality, but it may limit our ability to improve the website and provide tailored content.

You can usually find cookie management options in your browser settings under privacy or security sections. You may also remove cookies that have already been set on your device. Because each browser is different, you should consult the help section within your browser for specific instructions on how to adjust your cookie preferences.

Updates to This Cookie Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in technology, legal requirements, or our practices. Any changes will take effect when the revised policy is published on our website. We encourage you to review this page periodically to stay informed about how Gardeners Hornsey uses cookies and how you can manage your choices.
