Gardeners Barnes Cray Cookie Policy

This Cookie Policy explains how Gardeners Barnes Cray uses cookies and similar technologies on our website. It describes the types of cookies we use, the purposes for which we use them, and the options you have to manage your cookie preferences.

By continuing to use our website after being presented with a cookie notice, you consent to the use of cookies as described in this policy, subject to any preferences you set through your browser or device controls.

What Are Cookies

Cookies are small text files that are stored on your device when you visit a website. They help the site recognise your device, remember your preferences, and improve your browsing experience. Some cookies are necessary for the site to function properly, while others provide analytical or marketing insights.

Types of Cookies We Use

Essential Cookies

Essential cookies are required for the basic operation of our website. Without these cookies, certain core features would not work correctly. They are usually set only in response to actions made by you, such as navigating between pages, filling in forms, or setting your privacy preferences.

These cookies do not gather information for marketing purposes and are not used to track your browsing across other websites. Because they are strictly necessary, they generally cannot be disabled through our site, although you may still be able to block them through your browser settings. Doing so, however, may affect how the site functions.

Analytics Cookies

Analytics cookies help us understand how visitors use our website. They collect information such as which pages are visited most frequently, how users move around the site, and whether they encounter errors. This information is aggregated and does not directly identify individual users.

We use analytics cookies to monitor website performance, measure the effectiveness of our content, and identify areas for improvement. By analysing this data, we can enhance usability, refine our services, and ensure that the site continues to run smoothly and efficiently for all visitors.

Marketing Cookies

Marketing cookies may be used to deliver content that is more relevant to your interests. They can help us understand the effectiveness of promotional activities and may be used to present information about our services that is tailored to your browsing behaviour.

These cookies can also assist in limiting how often you see particular content and in measuring how users respond to marketing messages. Marketing cookies may be set by us or by carefully selected third parties who work with us to support our promotional efforts.

Use of Cookies for Performance Monitoring

We use certain cookies specifically to monitor the performance and reliability of our website. These cookies help us track page loading speeds, detect technical issues, and understand how different features are used. By reviewing this performance data, we can quickly identify problems, maintain site stability, and improve the overall experience for visitors.

Performance monitoring cookies do not usually collect information that directly identifies you. Instead, they provide aggregated metrics and trends that allow us to maintain a high standard of service quality.

User Control and Managing Cookies

You have control over how cookies are used on your device. Most internet browsers allow you to manage cookie settings, including accepting, rejecting, or deleting cookies. Typically, you can find these options within the settings or preferences section of your browser.

You may choose to block some or all cookies. However, if you disable essential cookies, certain functions of our website may not operate correctly, and your browsing experience may be affected. Adjusting analytics and marketing cookie settings may reduce the extent to which we can tailor and improve our services, though the core site functions should remain available.

Changes to This Cookie Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in technology, legal requirements, or our practices. Any revisions will be posted on this page with an updated effective date. We encourage you to review this policy regularly to stay informed about how we use cookies.

Your continued use of our website following any changes to this policy will constitute your acceptance of those changes, subject to your browser and device settings.
