This Cookie Policy explains how Gardeners Herne Hill uses cookies and similar technologies when you visit our website. It describes the types of cookies we use, the purposes for which we use them, and how you can control or manage your cookie preferences.

By continuing to use our website after seeing a cookie notice, you agree to our use of cookies as described in this policy. You can change your cookie settings at any time through your browser settings or, where available, through on-site preference tools.

What Are Cookies

Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. They enable the website to recognise your device, remember your preferences and help us understand how you use our site. Some cookies are necessary for the site to function properly, while others help us improve performance and tailor content.

Cookies can be session cookies, which expire when you close your browser, or persistent cookies, which remain on your device for a set period or until you delete them.

Types of Cookies We Use

We classify the cookies used on the Gardeners Herne Hill website into three main categories: essential cookies, analytics cookies and marketing cookies. Each category supports different features and purposes.

Essential Cookies

Essential cookies are required for the basic operation of our website. They enable core functions such as page navigation, secure areas and basic preferences. Without these cookies, our website may not function correctly and certain services you request cannot be provided.

Examples include cookies that remember your cookie consent choices, maintain security during your visit and help ensure that pages load correctly. These cookies do not track your browsing activity on other websites and are generally set only in response to actions you take on the site.

Analytics Cookies

Analytics cookies help us understand how visitors use the Gardeners Herne Hill website. They collect information such as which pages are visited most often, how long visitors stay on each page and whether any errors occur. The information is usually aggregated and does not directly identify you.

We use analytics cookies for performance monitoring, allowing us to measure the effectiveness of our content and services. The insights gained help us improve the structure, navigation and overall experience of the website, so that it better meets the needs of current and future visitors.

Marketing Cookies

Marketing cookies are used to deliver content and messages that are more relevant to your interests. They may be set by us or by third-party partners who provide services on our site, such as advertising or social media tools.

These cookies can help us understand the effectiveness of promotional campaigns, limit how often you see a particular advertisement and tailor messages based on your interactions with our website. If you do not allow marketing cookies, you may still see general advertisements, but they may be less relevant to your interests.

Performance Monitoring and Improvement

We use a combination of essential and analytics cookies to monitor the performance of our website. This includes tracking page load times, website responsiveness and how users move through different sections.

The data collected through these cookies helps us identify technical issues, optimise our site for different devices and browsers, and ensure that key pages and features work as intended. By analysing trends and usage patterns, we can continuously refine the website to provide a smoother and more reliable experience for visitors to Gardeners Herne Hill.

User Control and Cookie Management

You have control over how cookies are used on your device. Most internet browsers allow you to manage cookies through their settings. You can choose to block all cookies, accept only certain types of cookies or delete cookies that have already been set.

Changing your cookie settings may affect the functionality of our website. If you block essential cookies, some parts of the site may not work properly. Disabling analytics or marketing cookies will not affect basic site operation, but it may reduce our ability to improve your experience and to provide tailored content.

You can usually find cookie management options in the privacy or security section of your browser settings. To learn more about these options, consult the help section of your browser. By adjusting your preferences, you can decide how Gardeners Herne Hill and other websites use cookies on your devices.
