Gardeners Dagenham Cookie Policy

This Cookie Policy explains how Gardeners Dagenham uses cookies and similar technologies on our website. It outlines the types of cookies we use, the purposes for which we use them, and the choices you have for managing your cookie preferences. By continuing to use our website, you agree that cookies may be placed on your device in accordance with this policy, subject to your browser settings and consent choices where applicable.

What Are Cookies

Cookies are small text files that are stored on your device when you visit a website. They enable the website to recognise your device and store certain information about your preferences or previous actions. Cookies can be set by the website owner or by third parties that provide services through the website, such as analytics or advertising partners.

Types of Cookies We Use

Gardeners Dagenham uses several types of cookies to support the operation of our website, improve performance and enhance your experience. These cookies fall into three main categories: essential cookies, analytics cookies and marketing cookies.

Essential Cookies

Essential cookies are necessary for the basic functioning of our website. They enable core features such as page navigation, secure access to certain areas and proper display of content. Without these cookies, the website may not operate correctly. These cookies do not collect information for marketing purposes and are typically set in response to actions you take, such as adjusting your privacy preferences or filling in forms.

Analytics Cookies

Analytics cookies help us understand how visitors use the Gardeners Dagenham website. They collect information such as which pages are visited most often, how long visitors stay on each page and what kind of device or browser is used. This information is usually aggregated and does not identify you personally. We use analytics cookies to monitor website performance, identify technical issues and make improvements so that our content and services are more relevant and easier to use.

The performance monitoring enabled by analytics cookies allows us to measure the effectiveness of our website layout, content and navigation. For example, if we notice that visitors frequently leave a particular page quickly, we may review the content or design of that page. This ongoing analysis helps us deliver a smoother and more efficient experience for everyone using the Gardeners Dagenham website.

Marketing Cookies

Marketing cookies are used to deliver content and promotions that are more relevant to your interests. They may be set by us or by carefully selected third parties. These cookies can help limit how often you see a particular advertisement and measure the effectiveness of our marketing campaigns. Marketing cookies may track your visits across different pages of our website, and in some cases across other websites, to build a profile of your interests and show you more tailored content.

How We Use Cookie Information

The information collected through cookies is used to support three main aims: ensuring the website works correctly, improving performance and personalising content. For performance monitoring, we rely particularly on analytics cookies to understand traffic patterns, detect errors and refine how information is presented. The insights gained allow us to optimise loading times, simplify user journeys and ensure the website can handle demand at busy periods.

We do not use cookies to make automated decisions that significantly affect you without human involvement. Any data derived from cookies is handled in accordance with our broader approach to privacy and data protection.

User Control and Managing Cookies

You have control over how cookies are used on your device. Most web browsers allow you to manage your cookie settings, including blocking or deleting cookies. You can usually find these settings in the privacy or security sections of your browser. If you choose to block all cookies, some parts of the Gardeners Dagenham website may not function as intended, particularly features that rely on essential cookies.

You can also clear existing cookies from your browser at any time. Doing so may remove saved preferences and require you to reconfigure settings when you return to our website. If your browser includes options for managing analytics or marketing cookies separately, you can adjust these settings to suit your preferences.

Changes To This Cookie Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, technology or legal requirements. Any updates will be posted on this page with an amended effective date. We encourage you to review this policy periodically so that you remain informed about how Gardeners Dagenham uses cookies and your options for controlling them.
