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, remember your preferences, and improve your overall browsing experience. Some cookies are deleted when you close your browser session, while others remain on your device for a set period or until you delete them.
Types of Cookies We Use
We use several categories of cookies on the Gardeners South Kensington website. Each type plays a different role in how the site functions and how we improve our services.
Essential Cookies
Essential cookies are necessary for the basic functioning of our website. Without these cookies, certain services or features you request cannot be provided. They enable core functions such as page navigation, secure areas, and access management. These cookies do not gather information for marketing purposes and are usually set in response to actions you take, such as submitting a form or adjusting privacy preferences. Because they are strictly required for the website to operate, you cannot opt out of essential cookies through our cookie tools, although you can block them via your browser settings, which may affect site performance.
Analytics and Performance Cookies
Analytics cookies collect information about how visitors use our website. They help us understand which pages are visited most often, how users move around the site, and whether they encounter errors. We use this information in aggregate form to monitor website performance, measure the effectiveness of our content, and make improvements to navigation and structure. For example, analytics data may show that a particular page loads slowly or that visitors frequently leave the site from a certain page, helping us identify areas where we need to improve speed or clarity. These cookies are not used to identify you personally but do help us build a clearer picture of how our website is used overall.
Marketing and Personalisation Cookies
Marketing cookies are used to deliver content that is more relevant to your interests and to measure the effectiveness of our promotional efforts. They may remember that you have visited our website and help us show you gardening services or related information that aligns with your preferences. These cookies can also be used to limit the number of times you see a particular message and to help us understand the performance of our marketing campaigns. If you disable marketing cookies, you may still see general promotional content, but it may be less tailored to you.
How We Use Cookies for Performance Monitoring
Cookies play a key role in how we monitor and enhance the performance of the Gardeners South Kensington website. Through analytics and performance cookies, we track page load times, visit duration, navigation paths, and interactions with specific content. This performance monitoring helps us identify technical issues, optimise images and code, streamline page layouts, and ensure that our website remains fast, stable, and reliable. By understanding trends and user behaviour, we can prioritise improvements that make it easier for visitors to find the gardening information and services they need.

When you first visit our website, you may be presented with a cookie notice that allows you to accept or manage certain categories of cookies. You can usually change your choices at any time by adjusting settings within your browser. Most web browsers allow you to view, delete, or block cookies, and to set preferences for how cookies are handled in the future. Please note that if you choose to disable some or all cookies, certain features of our website may not function as intended, and your browsing experience may be affected.
