They help websites recognise your device, store certain information about your visit, and improve your browsing experience. Cookies may be set by the website you are visiting first party cookies or by third parties providing services to that website third party cookies.

Types of Cookies We Use

Essential Cookies

Essential cookies are required for the basic operation of our website. Without these cookies, key features of the site would not function correctly. They are typically set in response to actions you take, such as navigating between pages, setting privacy preferences, or filling in forms.

We use essential cookies to ensure the security and stability of the website, enable core navigation, and remember basic choices you make during a session. Because these cookies are strictly necessary for the website to work, they cannot be switched off in our systems, but you can still block them through your browser settings. Doing so may affect how the site functions.

Analytics Cookies

Analytics cookies help us understand how visitors use the Gardeners Highgate website. They collect information such as which pages are visited most often, how long visitors stay on each page, and how users interact with different parts of the site.

We use these cookies to monitor website performance, identify technical issues, and improve the way our content is presented. The information collected is usually aggregated and does not directly identify you. Analytics cookies allow us to measure trends over time so that we can make informed decisions about updates, new features, and improvements.

Marketing Cookies

Marketing cookies are used to deliver content and advertising that is more relevant to your interests. They may be set through our site by third party partners who provide advertising or social media services.

These cookies can help build a profile of your interests based on your browsing activity and may be used to show you tailored adverts on other websites or platforms. They also help us understand the effectiveness of our marketing campaigns by tracking interactions such as clicks and views.

Performance Monitoring and Improvement

We use cookies, particularly analytics cookies, to monitor the performance of the Gardeners Highgate website. This includes tracking page load times, navigation flows, error messages, and how different devices or browsers interact with the site.

The data collected through performance monitoring allows us to identify slow pages, broken links, or areas where users encounter difficulties. We analyse this information to refine the layout, improve content, enhance technical stability, and ensure that the website remains responsive and user friendly.

User Control and Cookie Management

You have the right to control and manage how cookies are used on your device.

Most web browsers allow you to view, delete, or block cookies, and to set preferences for how cookies are handled in the future. You can usually find these controls in your browser settings under sections such as privacy, security, or site settings. If you choose to block some or all cookies, parts of our website may not function correctly, and your browsing experience may be affected.

You can also clear cookies that have already been stored on your device at any time. Doing so may remove saved preferences, meaning you might need to re enter certain choices when you revisit the site.

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 with an updated revision date. We encourage you to review this policy periodically to stay informed about how Gardeners Highgate uses cookies.
