This Cookie Policy explains how Gardeners East Ham uses cookies and similar technologies on this website. It describes what cookies are, which types we use, why we use them, and how you can manage your cookie preferences. By continuing to use our website after seeing the cookie notice, you consent to the use of cookies as described in this policy.

What Are Cookies

Cookies are small text files 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 reenter information whenever you return or move between pages. Some cookies are set directly by our website, while others may be set by third parties that provide services to us.

Types of Cookies We Use

We use several categories of cookies on the Gardeners East Ham website. Each category serves a different purpose, ranging from enabling basic site functions to helping us understand how visitors use our pages.

Essential Cookies

Essential cookies are necessary for the basic operation of our website. They enable core features such as page navigation, access to secure areas, and proper functioning of forms and preference settings. Without these cookies, the website may not work correctly and some requested services cannot be provided. These cookies do not collect information for marketing purposes and are usually only set in response to actions you take, such as logging in, submitting a form, or changing privacy preferences.

Analytics Cookies

Analytics cookies help us understand how visitors interact with our website. They collect information such as which pages are visited, how long users stay on each page, which links are clicked, and whether visitors experience errors. This information is aggregated and does not identify you directly. We use these cookies to measure performance, improve the structure and content of our pages, and ensure that the website remains useful and relevant for visitors interested in gardening services in East Ham.

Marketing Cookies

Marketing cookies are used to deliver content that is more relevant to your interests. They may be set on our site by advertising partners or other third party providers. These cookies help us understand the effectiveness of our promotional activities, such as which adverts lead users to our website. They can also be used to limit how often you see a particular advert and to help tailor messaging about our gardening services. Marketing cookies may track your browsing activity across different websites, but they do not give us direct access to your personal identity.

Purpose of Cookies for Performance Monitoring

We use cookies specifically to monitor and improve the performance of the Gardeners East Ham website. By analysing anonymous usage patterns, we can identify popular pages, detect navigation issues, and understand which information is most helpful to visitors. Performance monitoring through analytics cookies allows us to refine content, adjust page layouts, and optimise loading times. This ensures that users have a smoother experience when accessing information about our gardening services, seasonal tips, or service areas.

When you first visit our site, you may be presented with options to accept or adjust nonessential cookies, such as analytics and marketing cookies. You can change your preferences at any time by updating your browser settings to block or delete cookies. Most browsers allow you to refuse all cookies, accept only certain types, or notify you before a cookie is stored. Please note that disabling essential cookies may affect how the website functions and some parts of the site may not be fully accessible.
