Gardeners Homerton Cookie Policy

This Cookie Policy explains how Gardeners Homerton uses cookies and similar technologies on its website. It describes the types of cookies we use, the purposes for which we use them, and the choices you have in relation to cookie usage on your device.

What Are Cookies

Cookies are small text files that are stored on your device when you visit a website. They help the site recognise your device, remember your preferences, and understand how you interact with different pages and features. Some cookies are necessary for the site to function correctly, while others support performance monitoring, analytics, and marketing activities.

Why We Use Cookies

Gardeners Homerton uses cookies to improve the performance and experience of our website. Cookies allow us to remember certain choices you make, measure how our website is used, identify technical issues, and support marketing activities that are relevant to your interests. They also help us ensure the website runs securely and efficiently.

Types of Cookies We Use

We group the cookies used on the Gardeners Homerton website into three main categories. Some cookies are set directly by our website, while others may be set by third-party service providers that support our analytics and marketing efforts.

Essential Cookies

Essential cookies are necessary for the basic operation of the Gardeners Homerton website. Without these cookies, key features and core functionality would not work properly. They are typically set in response to actions you take, such as navigating between pages, using forms, or adjusting privacy settings.

These cookies do not track your browsing activity on other websites and are not used for marketing. Because they are required for the website to function, you cannot disable essential cookies through our site, although you can still control them through your browser settings.

Analytics Cookies

Analytics cookies help us understand how visitors use the Gardeners Homerton website. They collect information such as which pages are visited most often, how visitors move around the site, how long they stay on pages, and whether they encounter error messages. This information is aggregated and does not directly identify individual visitors.

We use analytics cookies for performance monitoring so that we can measure and improve the effectiveness, speed, and usability of our website. The insights gained from these cookies guide website enhancements, help us identify popular content, and highlight areas where users may experience difficulty.

Marketing Cookies

Marketing cookies are used to deliver content and advertisements that are more relevant to your interests. They may be set by Gardeners Homerton or by third-party partners that provide marketing and advertising services. These cookies can help limit the number of times you see a particular advert and measure the effectiveness of campaigns.

Marketing cookies may track your visits to our website and other websites to build a profile of your interests. This profile can then be used to show you more tailored content. If you do not allow marketing cookies, you may still see advertising, but it is less likely to be tailored to you.

User Control and Cookie Preferences

You have control over how cookies are used on your device. When you first visit the Gardeners Homerton website, you may be presented with options to manage your cookie preferences. You can typically choose to accept all cookies, reject non essential cookies, or adjust settings for analytics and marketing cookies.

In addition to on site controls, you can manage cookies through your web browser settings. Most browsers allow you to view, delete, or block cookies, as well as to set preferences for certain websites. If you choose to block some or all cookies, parts of the Gardeners Homerton website may not function correctly, and your overall experience may be affected.

Retention and Changes to This Policy

Cookies are stored for varying lengths of time depending on their purpose. Some are session cookies, which expire when you close your browser, while others are persistent cookies, which remain on your device for a defined period or until you delete them.

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in technology, legal requirements, or how we operate our website. Any changes will take effect when the revised policy is published on the Gardeners Homerton website. We encourage you to review this policy regularly to stay informed about our use of cookies and your choices.
