This Cookie Policy explains how Gardeners Rotherhithe uses cookies and similar technologies on our website. It describes the types of cookies we use, what they do, and how you can manage your cookie preferences. By continuing to use our website after seeing our cookie notice, you agree that cookies may be set on your device as described in this policy.

What Are Cookies

Cookies are small text files that are stored on your device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work, to improve their performance, and to provide information to website owners. Cookies help us recognise your device, remember your preferences, and understand how visitors interact with our website.

Types of Cookies We Use

We use several types of cookies on the Gardeners Rotherhithe website. Some are necessary for the site to function, while others help us analyse usage or support our marketing activities.

Essential Cookies

Essential cookies are required for the basic operation of our website. Without these cookies, the site may not function correctly, and certain services may not be available. These cookies typically enable core features such as page navigation, access to secure areas, and saving basic preferences that are necessary to display the site properly. Because they are strictly necessary, essential cookies cannot usually be disabled through our website, although you can still block them via your browser settings. However, doing so may affect the way the site functions.

Analytics Cookies

Analytics cookies help us understand how visitors use the Gardeners Rotherhithe website. They collect information such as which pages are visited, how long visitors stay on each page, and which features are used most often. This information is aggregated and does not directly identify individual visitors. We use analytics cookies to monitor website performance, identify technical issues, and improve the overall design and content of our site. By analysing patterns of use, we can make the website more intuitive, relevant, and reliable for our visitors.

Marketing Cookies

Marketing cookies are used to deliver content and messages that may be more relevant to your interests. They may be set by us or by third-party partners that provide marketing or advertising services. These cookies can help limit the number of times you see a particular advertisement and measure the effectiveness of our promotional campaigns. They work by tracking your use of our website and may also combine this information with activity on other websites where the same providers operate.

How We Use Cookies for Performance Monitoring

Cookies play a key role in monitoring the performance and reliability of the Gardeners Rotherhithe website. Analytics cookies allow us to measure loading times, detect errors, and understand how different pages perform across devices and browsers. By reviewing these performance indicators, we can identify areas where the site may be slow or difficult to use and implement improvements. This helps us maintain a secure, stable, and user friendly experience, ensuring that visitors can access the information and services they need efficiently.

User Control and Managing Cookies

You have control over how cookies are used on your device. When you first visit the Gardeners Rotherhithe website, you may be presented with a notice asking you to confirm or adjust your cookie preferences, particularly in relation to analytics and marketing cookies that are not strictly necessary.

You can also manage cookies at any time through your browser settings. Most web browsers allow you to view, delete, or block cookies, and to set rules for certain websites. The steps for managing cookies will vary depending on the browser and device you use. If you choose to block all cookies, some features of our website may not work as intended, and your overall experience may be affected.
