What Are Cookies

Cookies are small text files stored on your device by your web browser when you visit a website. They allow the website to recognise your device, remember your preferences, and understand how you interact with the site. Cookies can be session cookies, which are deleted when you close your browser, or persistent cookies, which remain on your device for a set period or until you delete them.

Types of Cookies We Use

Essential Cookies

Essential cookies are necessary for the operation of the Gardeners Raynes Park website. They enable core functionality such as navigating between pages, accessing secure areas, and maintaining basic features. Without these cookies, the website may not function properly, and certain services you request cannot be provided. These cookies do not collect information for marketing purposes and are usually set in response to actions you take, such as setting your privacy preferences or filling in forms.

Analytics and Performance Cookies

Analytics cookies help us understand how visitors use the Gardeners Raynes Park website. We use these cookies to collect information such as which pages are visited most frequently, how long visitors stay on a page, and any error messages encountered. This data is aggregated and does not directly identify individual users. We rely on analytics cookies to monitor website performance, evaluate the effectiveness of our content, and improve the overall user experience.

Performance monitoring through these cookies allows us to identify technical issues, optimise loading times, and make informed decisions about site improvements. For example, we may use the insights gained from analytics cookies to reorganise content, simplify navigation, or enhance features that users interact with most frequently.

Marketing and Personalisation Cookies

Marketing cookies are used to deliver content and messages that are more relevant to your interests. They may be set by Gardeners Raynes Park or by third parties that provide marketing or advertising services on our behalf. These cookies can remember that you have visited our website and may be used to build a profile of your interests based on browsing behaviour.

Marketing and personalisation cookies also help limit the number of times you see a particular advertisement and measure the effectiveness of campaigns. The information collected may be combined with other data sources where permitted by applicable law, but is typically used in a way that does not directly identify you as an individual.

How We Use Cookies for Performance Monitoring

Gardeners Raynes Park relies on cookies to monitor the performance and reliability of our website. By analysing aggregated usage data, we can detect slow pages, broken links, and other technical issues that affect your experience. Performance insights also help us understand which services and pages are most useful to visitors, so we can focus our efforts on improving and expanding those areas.

Performance monitoring cookies allow us to track trends over time, compare site performance across devices and browsers, and ensure the website remains accessible and responsive. This ongoing evaluation supports our commitment to maintaining a user-friendly and efficient online presence.

Most web browsers also allow you to manage cookies through their settings. You can configure your browser to block or delete cookies, or to alert you when a cookie is being placed. If you disable some or all cookies, certain parts of the website may not function correctly, and your user experience may be affected. Essential cookies cannot usually be disabled through on-site tools, as they are necessary for core functionality.
