Gardeners Hendon Cookie Policy

This Cookie Policy explains how Gardeners Hendon uses cookies and similar technologies on our website. It outlines what cookies are, which types we use, why we use them, and how you can control your cookie preferences. By continuing to use our website, you acknowledge the use of 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 help the site recognise your device and remember certain information about your visit. 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.

Cookies cannot be used to run programs or deliver viruses to your device. They are designed to improve your browsing experience and help website owners understand how their sites are used.

Types of Cookies We Use

We use a combination of essential, analytics and marketing cookies to support the operation and improvement of the Gardeners Hendon website.

Essential Cookies

Essential cookies are necessary for the basic functioning of our website. Without these cookies, key features and services you request may not be available. They enable functions such as navigating between pages, accessing secure areas, remembering your cookie preferences and maintaining the correct display of pages and forms.

Because these cookies are required for the website to work properly, they cannot be switched off through our on site tools. You can set your browser to block or alert you about these cookies, but some parts of the site may then not function correctly.

Analytics Cookies

Analytics cookies collect information about how visitors use our website, such as which pages are visited most often, how long users stay on each page and whether they encounter error messages. These cookies do not directly identify you, but they help us build aggregated statistics about site usage.

We use analytics cookies to monitor performance, understand which content is most helpful and identify areas where the website can be improved. This performance monitoring allows us to make data driven decisions that enhance usability, speed and overall user experience.

Marketing Cookies

Marketing cookies are used to deliver content and messages that are more relevant to your interests. They may remember that you have visited our website and can help us measure the effectiveness of any campaigns. These cookies may work by building a profile of your interests based on your browsing behaviour on our site.

If you disable marketing cookies, you may still see general information and promotions, but they may be less tailored to your interests and browsing patterns.

How We Use Cookies for Performance Monitoring

Gardeners Hendon uses cookies to monitor and enhance the performance of our website. By analysing aggregated data on page load times, navigation paths and user interactions, we can identify technical issues, detect slow pages and optimise the content structure.

This performance monitoring ensures that the site remains reliable, responsive and easy to use, particularly during busy periods when many visitors may be accessing information at the same time.

Your Cookie Choices and Control

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

Most web browsers also allow you to manage cookies through their settings. You can typically view existing cookies, delete them and configure your browser to block or limit certain types. Please note that changing your cookie settings may affect how our website functions, and disabling certain cookies could reduce the quality or availability of some features.

Changes to This Cookie Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in technology, legal requirements or how we operate our website. Any updates will be posted on this page, and the revised policy will apply from the date it is published.

We encourage you to review this Cookie Policy periodically so that you remain informed about how Gardeners Hendon uses cookies and how you can manage your preferences.
