Cookie Policy for Gardener Addiscombe
Welcome to the Gardener Addiscombe cookie policy. This document explains how the Addiscombe gardener team uses cookies and similar technologies to improve service, monitor performance and personalise experiences. The policy covers the types of cookies we use, how they support our gardening services in Addiscombe, and the controls available to users. Understanding cookies helps you make informed choices about your privacy while interacting with us.
Types of cookies we use
Cookies used by the Gardener in Addiscombe fall into three main categories. We use them to ensure essential functionality, to gather analytics for performance monitoring, and to support marketing where appropriate.
Below is a simple list of cookie categories and quick purposes:
- Essential cookies — required for core functionality, session handling and security when booking or browsing service details.
- Analytics cookies — used for performance monitoring and to measure how visitors use our Addiscombe gardening pages, page load times, and feature usage.
- Marketing cookies — used to deliver content tailored to likely interests and to measure the effectiveness of promotional activities without storing personal identifiers.
Essential, analytics and marketing explained
Essential cookies are mandatory for basic operations. They remember choices you make during a session and maintain secure navigation. Without essential cookies, key features offered by Gardener Addiscombe services may not work reliably. These cookies do not track browsing for marketing purposes.
Performance monitoring and analytics
Analytics cookies are used to monitor performance. The Addiscombe gardener analytics help us understand traffic patterns, page responsiveness, and which pages are most helpful. Performance monitoring data is typically aggregated and anonymised; it is used to improve load times, identify errors, and prioritise enhancements so that gardeners and clients experience faster, more reliable interactions. Performance monitoring enables us to reduce delays, optimise resource use and make sure that booking flows and service descriptions load quickly for everyone.
Marketing cookies support personalised content and may be set by third parties to show relevant offers. These cookies may be used to tailor adverts or to measure campaign reach, but they are not necessary for accessing core features. You can choose to allow or block these cookies depending on your preference.
User control and managing cookies
You control cookie preferences in several ways. Most browsers let you block or delete cookies via settings; some devices provide privacy dashboards for managing permissions. For more granular control you can:
- Adjust browser settings to refuse third-party cookies.
- Clear cookies periodically to remove stored identifiers.
- Use privacy tools or browser extensions to limit tracking while still allowing essential cookies.
For transparency, we do not use cookies to collect sensitive personal data. When analytics data is stored for performance monitoring, it is treated with care and used only to improve service reliability and user experience for the Addiscombe gardening community. Gardener Addiscombe aims to balance useful functionality with respect for privacy.
We may update this cookie policy over time to reflect changes in technology or legal requirements. When this happens, key changes will be reflected here. Continue to manage your preferences through your device or browser settings to keep control of cookie behaviour and the way performance monitoring is applied to your sessions.
