It describes what cookies are, the types of cookies we use, the purposes for which we use them, and how you can manage your cookie preferences. By continuing to use our website after seeing the cookie notice, you acknowledge that cookies may be placed on your device 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 allow the website to recognise your device and remember certain information about your visit, such as your preferences, pages viewed, and actions taken. Cookies can help improve the speed, security, and overall experience of using a website. Some cookies are set directly by the website you are visiting, while others may be set by third parties that provide services to the website owner.

Types of Cookies We Use

We use several types of cookies on the Gardeners Falconwood website to support functionality, analyse performance, and assist with marketing activities. The main categories are essential cookies, analytics cookies, and marketing cookies. Each category serves a different purpose and may remain on your device for varying lengths of time, known as session or persistent cookies.

Essential Cookies

Essential cookies are necessary for the core operation of the Gardeners Falconwood website. They enable features such as page navigation, secure access to certain areas, and correct display of content. Without these cookies, parts of the site may not function properly. Essential cookies do not gather information for marketing purposes and are not used to track your browsing activity on other websites.

Analytics Cookies

Analytics cookies help us understand how visitors use the Gardeners Falconwood website. These cookies collect information such as which pages are visited most often, how long visitors stay on a page, and whether any errors occur. The information is aggregated and does not directly identify individual users. We use analytics cookies to monitor website performance, identify areas that may need improvement, and ensure that our content remains relevant and accessible.

Marketing Cookies

Marketing cookies are used to deliver content and messages that are more relevant to your interests. They may be set by Gardeners Falconwood or by third parties who provide marketing or advertising services. These cookies can remember that you have visited our website and may be used to show you tailored content or promotions on other platforms. Marketing cookies also help us measure the effectiveness of our campaigns by tracking interactions with advertisements and promotional materials.

Purpose of Cookies for Performance Monitoring

One of the primary reasons Gardeners Falconwood uses cookies is to monitor and enhance the performance of our website. By analysing data gathered through analytics and certain marketing cookies, we can understand how visitors interact with pages, which features are most useful, and where technical issues may arise. This performance monitoring helps us optimise page load times, improve navigation, refine the layout of information, and ensure that our services remain reliable and efficient for all users.

User Control and Cookie Management

You have control over how cookies are used on your device. Most web browsers allow you to view, manage, and delete cookies, as well as block cookies from being set. You can usually find these options in the privacy or security settings of your browser. If you choose to block certain types of cookies, such as analytics or marketing cookies, the overall functionality of the Gardeners Falconwood website should remain largely unaffected. However, blocking essential cookies may impact core features and could limit your ability to use some parts of the site.

Many browsers also offer tools for controlling cookies on a site-by-site basis, enabling you to adjust your settings specifically for the Gardeners Falconwood website. If you delete cookies, any preferences previously stored will be removed and may need to be reset on your next visit. By reviewing and updating your cookie settings periodically, you can maintain a level of control that suits your privacy preferences while still benefiting from a functional and responsive website experience.
