Gardeners Morden Cookie Policy

This Cookie Policy explains how Gardeners Morden uses cookies and similar technologies on our website. By continuing to use our website after seeing our cookie notice, you consent to the use of cookies as described in this policy, subject to any preferences you choose to manage in your browser settings or cookie tools.

What Are Cookies

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device when you visit a website. They allow the site to recognise your device, remember your preferences, and understand how visitors interact with pages and content. Cookies may be set by the website you are visiting or by third parties that provide services to the website.

Types of Cookies We Use

Essential Cookies

Essential cookies are necessary for the basic operation of the Gardeners Morden website. They enable core functions such as page navigation, access to secure areas, and correct display of content. Without these cookies, the website may not function properly and certain services you request cannot be provided. These cookies do not store information that directly identifies you, and they are usually set in response to actions you take on the site, such as requesting a page, submitting a form, or adjusting your privacy settings.

Analytics Cookies

Analytics cookies help us understand how visitors use the Gardeners Morden website. They collect information such as which pages are visited, how long users stay on a page, which links are clicked, and whether any errors occur. The information collected is aggregated and used to generate statistics about website performance and usage trends. This helps us identify which content is most useful, where users may encounter difficulties, and where we can improve navigation and page layout. Analytics cookies are important for performance monitoring, as they provide insight into how well our website is functioning and how we can enhance the experience for visitors.

Marketing Cookies

Marketing cookies are used to deliver content and messages that may be more relevant to your interests. They may be set by Gardeners Morden or by third party partners who help us measure the effectiveness of our marketing activities. These cookies can help limit the number of times you see a particular message and can assist in understanding whether our advertising and promotional materials are engaging and useful. Information gathered through marketing cookies may be combined with other non identifying data to build a general picture of audience interests and preferences.

Performance Monitoring and Improvement

Gardeners Morden uses analytics and certain marketing cookies to monitor the performance of our website. This performance monitoring allows us to track page load times, identify technical issues, and understand how users move through the site. By analysing this data, we can make informed decisions about improving site speed, refining content, and adjusting the overall structure of the website so that it better supports the needs of visitors. All performance monitoring is conducted with the aim of enhancing user experience rather than identifying individual users.

User Control Over Cookies

You have control over how cookies are used on your device. Most web browsers allow you to manage cookies through their settings. You can choose to accept or reject cookies, delete existing cookies, or set your browser to notify you when a cookie is being placed. Some browsers also provide options to block cookies from specific websites or to restrict third party cookies. Please note that if you disable certain cookies, particularly essential cookies, parts of the Gardeners Morden website may not function correctly, and your experience may be affected.

If you use multiple devices or browsers to access the Gardeners Morden website, you will need to adjust cookie settings on each device or browser separately. Your cookie preferences are specific to the device and browser you are using.

Retention and Changes to This Policy

Cookies are stored for different lengths of time depending on their purpose. Some are session cookies, which expire when you close your browser, while others are persistent cookies that remain on your device for a set period or until you delete them. Gardeners Morden may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in technology, legal requirements, or our use of cookies. Any updates will be posted on this page, and the revised policy will apply from the date it is published.
