Gardeners Crossness Cookie Policy

This Cookie Policy explains how Gardeners Crossness uses cookies and similar technologies on our website. It describes the types of cookies we use, why we use them, and how you can control your cookie preferences. By continuing to use our website after seeing our cookie notice, you agree to the use of cookies 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 help the site remember your actions and preferences over a period of time, so you do not have to re-enter them whenever you return to the site or move from one page to another. Cookies can also help us understand how our website is used, allowing us to improve performance and user experience.

Types of Cookies We Use

We group the cookies used on the Gardeners Crossness website into three main categories: essential cookies, analytics cookies, and marketing cookies. Some cookies are set directly by us, while others may be set by third parties that provide services to support our website.

Essential Cookies

Essential cookies are required for the basic operation of our website. They enable core functionalities such as page navigation, secure areas of the site, form submission, and remembering your cookie preferences. Without these cookies, certain features and services you request may not function correctly. These cookies do not gather information for marketing purposes and are generally set in response to your actions on the site, such as logging in or filling out a form.

Analytics Cookies

Analytics cookies help us understand how visitors interact with the Gardeners Crossness website. They collect information such as which pages are visited, how long users stay on each page, which links are clicked, and the type of device or browser used. This information is aggregated and does not directly identify individual visitors. We use analytics cookies to monitor website performance, identify technical issues, and make informed decisions about design, content, and navigation improvements.

Marketing Cookies

Marketing cookies are used to deliver content that is more relevant to your interests and to measure the effectiveness of our outreach activities. These cookies may remember that you have visited our website and may be used to tailor messages about Gardeners Crossness on other platforms. They can also help limit how often you see a particular message and allow us to understand whether a campaign has been successful. Marketing cookies may be set by us or by carefully selected third parties acting on our behalf.

Performance Monitoring and Improvement

We use analytics and certain marketing cookies specifically to monitor the performance of the Gardeners Crossness website. This includes tracking page loading times, navigation paths, and interactions with key features. By analysing this data, we can identify areas where the site may be slow, confusing, or difficult to use, and then make targeted improvements. Performance monitoring helps ensure that our visitors have a reliable, efficient, and user-friendly experience.

User Control and Cookie Management

You have control over how cookies are used on your device. When you first visit the Gardeners Crossness website, you may be presented with options to accept or manage different categories of cookies, except for essential cookies which are necessary for the site to function.

You can also manage or delete cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to view which cookies are stored, delete existing cookies, block all cookies, or block cookies from specific sites. If you choose to block or delete certain cookies, please be aware that some features of the website may not operate correctly, and your user experience may be affected.

By continuing to use the Gardeners Crossness website without changing your cookie settings, you acknowledge that you understand and agree to our use of cookies as outlined in this Cookie Policy.
