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 and remember information about your visit, such as your preferences, pages viewed, and actions taken. Cookies can be set directly by the website you are visiting or by third parties that provide services on the website.

Types of Cookies We Use

Gardeners Crayford uses several categories of cookies to support the operation and improvement of our website. These cookies may be session cookies, which expire when you close your browser, or persistent cookies, which remain on your device for a specified period or until deleted.

Essential Cookies

Essential cookies are necessary for the basic functioning of our website. They enable core features such as page navigation, secure areas, form submissions, and access to account-related areas where applicable. Without these cookies, the website may not function properly and certain services you request cannot be provided. These cookies do not store information that identifies you directly and are usually set in response to actions you take on the site.

Analytics Cookies

Analytics cookies help us understand how visitors use our website. They collect information such as the pages visited, time spent on each page, links clicked, and any errors encountered. This information is aggregated and does not directly identify individual users. We use analytics cookies to monitor website performance, measure the effectiveness of content, and identify areas that may need improvement. Performance monitoring through analytics cookies allows us to make data-driven changes that enhance the overall user experience.

Marketing Cookies

Marketing cookies are used to deliver content and promotions that may be more relevant to your interests. They may be set by us or by carefully selected third-party partners whose services we use on our website. These cookies can help measure the performance of marketing campaigns and limit how often you see particular messages. Marketing cookies may track your activity across different websites and build a profile of your interests, but they are not used to make decisions that produce legal or similarly significant effects concerning you.

Performance Monitoring and Improvement

We use cookies, primarily analytics cookies, to monitor the technical performance and usability of our website. This performance monitoring includes tracking page load times, responsiveness, navigation patterns, and user interactions. By analysing this data, we can identify technical issues, detect broken pages or features, and optimise content placement. The insights gained enable us to maintain a reliable, secure, and efficient website that better serves visitors to Gardeners Crayford.

You can choose to accept or reject cookies, delete existing cookies, or be notified when cookies are being set. If you disable or block certain categories of cookies, some parts of our website may not function as intended, and your experience may be affected.

To manage cookies, check the settings or help section of your browser and adjust options related to privacy and security. You can typically configure your browser to refuse all cookies, accept only certain types, or delete cookies when you close the browser.
