Gardeners Merton Park Cookie Policy

This Cookie Policy explains how Gardeners Merton Park uses cookies and similar technologies on our website. It describes the types of cookies we use, the purposes for which we use them, and how you can manage your cookie preferences. By continuing to use our website after seeing a cookie notice, you agree that we may store and access 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 are widely used to make websites function properly, improve performance, and provide information to website owners. Cookies can be session cookies, which are deleted when you close your browser, or persistent cookies, which remain until they expire or are removed.

Types of Cookies We Use

We use several types of cookies on the Gardeners Merton Park website. Each type serves a different purpose, from enabling core functionality to helping us understand how visitors use our pages.

Essential Cookies

Essential cookies are necessary for the basic operation of our website. Without these cookies, certain features and services cannot function correctly. These cookies do not gather information for marketing or track your browsing across other websites.

We use essential cookies to ensure pages load correctly, maintain your selections as you navigate the site, and keep the website secure. For example, they may help remember your cookie preferences so you do not need to set them each time you visit.

Analytics Cookies

Analytics cookies help us understand how visitors use the Gardeners Merton Park website. They collect information such as which pages are visited, how long visitors stay on each page, and which features are used most often. The information is aggregated and does not directly identify individual users.

We use analytics cookies to monitor website performance, measure traffic, and identify issues such as errors or slow loading pages. This helps us improve the structure, content, and navigation of the website so that it is more useful and efficient for visitors. Performance monitoring through analytics cookies enables us to refine our services and present relevant gardening information for the Merton Park area.

Marketing Cookies

Marketing cookies are used to deliver content that is more relevant to your interests and to measure the effectiveness of our promotional activities. These cookies may be set by us or by third parties that provide advertising or social media services.

Marketing cookies help us understand the impact of campaigns, such as how many visitors access the website after viewing a particular promotion. They may also be used to limit the number of times you see a specific advertisement and to help tailor messages about Gardeners Merton Park services.

How We Use Cookies for Performance Monitoring

We specifically use analytics and certain functional cookies to monitor the performance of our website. This includes tracking loading speeds, identifying pages that are difficult to use, and analysing patterns such as frequent exit pages. By reviewing this data, we can make informed improvements to ensure that our gardening content, service details, and booking information are easy to access and perform reliably.

Performance monitoring does not focus on you as an individual. Instead, it helps us understand overall visitor behaviour so we can maintain a fast, stable, and user friendly website.

If you choose to block or delete certain cookies, some parts of the Gardeners Merton Park website may not function as intended. Essential features may become unavailable, and your preferences may not be saved for future visits. However, you can still browse many sections of the site without accepting non essential cookies.

To manage cookies, check the help or settings section of your browser, where you can find instructions on how to adjust your cookie preferences. You may need to configure these settings separately on each device and each browser you use to access our website.
