Gardeners Archway Cookie Policy

This Cookie Policy explains how Gardeners Archway uses cookies and similar technologies on our website. It describes the types of cookies we use, why we use them, and how you can manage your cookie preferences. By continuing to use our website after seeing our cookie notice, you agree that we may place cookies 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 allow the site to recognise your device, remember your preferences, and help us understand how visitors use our pages. Some cookies are set directly by Gardeners Archway, while others may be set by third party providers that deliver services on our behalf.

Types of Cookies We Use

We use several categories of cookies to support the operation and improvement of our website. These include essential cookies, analytics cookies, and marketing cookies. Each type serves a different purpose, as explained below.

Essential Cookies

Essential cookies are necessary for the core functioning of the Gardeners Archway website. Without these cookies, certain features and services would not work correctly. They are typically set in response to actions you take, such as navigating between pages, submitting forms, or adjusting privacy settings. Because they are required for the website to operate, you cannot disable essential cookies through our on site controls, although you can still block them through your browser settings. Doing so may affect the availability and performance of key functions.

Analytics Cookies

Analytics cookies help us understand how visitors use the Gardeners Archway website. They collect information such as which pages are visited, how long users stay on each page, and how they navigate through the site. This information is aggregated and does not directly identify you. We use analytics cookies to monitor website performance, identify technical issues, and improve the content and layout of our pages. Performance monitoring through analytics allows us to make informed decisions about updates, ensuring that the website remains useful, reliable, and easy to use for all visitors.

Marketing Cookies

Marketing cookies are used to deliver content and messages that are more relevant to your interests. They may be set by Gardeners Archway or by carefully selected partners who provide marketing or advertising services. These cookies can help us measure the effectiveness of campaigns, avoid repeating the same advertisements, and understand how users respond to promotional content. Marketing cookies may track your activity across different websites and online services to build a profile of your interests. If you choose not to allow marketing cookies, you may see less tailored content and offers.

How We Use Cookies for Performance Monitoring

Performance monitoring is an important part of maintaining and improving the Gardeners Archway website. We use analytics and certain functional cookies to measure page load times, detect errors, and understand which features are most frequently used. This insight allows us to optimise images, code, and layouts, reduce disruptions, and plan future enhancements. The data used for performance monitoring is generally aggregated and is not used to personally identify individual visitors.

User Control and Managing Cookies

You have several options for controlling how cookies are used on the Gardeners Archway website. When you first visit, you may be presented with a cookie banner or notice that allows you to accept or reject different categories of cookies, except for essential cookies which are required for core functionality. You can change your preferences at any time through your browser settings, where you can block, restrict, or delete cookies from our site or any other site.

Most web browsers allow you to review and delete existing cookies and to configure whether new cookies can be set. The method for doing this varies by browser and device. If you choose to disable some or all cookies, please be aware that the functionality and performance of the Gardeners Archway website may be affected, and some services or features may not be available.

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 updates will be posted on this page, and the revised policy will apply from the date it is published. We encourage you to review this page periodically to stay informed about how we use cookies and how you can manage your choices.
