Types of Cookies We Use

Gardeners Burnt Oak uses different types of cookies for distinct purposes. The main categories of cookies we use are essential cookies, analytics cookies, and marketing cookies.

Essential Cookies

Essential cookies are necessary for the core operation of our website. Without them, certain services and features cannot function properly. These cookies enable basic functions such as page navigation, secure access to certain areas, and proper loading of content. They do not collect information that identifies you personally and are generally set in response to actions you take, such as setting your privacy preferences or filling in forms.

Analytics Cookies

Analytics cookies help us understand how visitors use the Gardeners Burnt Oak website. They collect information about how you interact with our pages, including which pages you visit, how long you stay, and any error messages you may encounter. The data gathered is aggregated and anonymised, meaning it does not directly identify you. We use this information to monitor website performance, identify areas that could be improved, and ensure that our content is useful and relevant to visitors.

Marketing Cookies

Marketing cookies are used to track visitors across websites and to build a profile of your interests. Gardeners Burnt Oak may use these cookies to deliver content and promotions that are more relevant to you and your gardening interests.

Marketing cookies can be set by us or by third-party partners who provide services on our behalf.

These cookies provide insight into site speed, navigation patterns, and how often particular pages are accessed. By analysing this information, we can identify technical issues, optimise page loading times, and improve the overall usability of our website. This ongoing performance monitoring helps ensure that visitors experience a reliable and efficient service.
