Gardener Greenwich Cookie Policy

Welcome to the Gardener Greenwich cookie statement. This policy explains how Gardener-Greenwich and related services use cookies and similar technologies to recognise you when you visit our pages, how we ensure essential functionality, and how we monitor performance. It applies to all users of gardener greenwich services and describes cookie categories, purposes and user controls.

Essential Cookies: necessary site functionality

Essential cookies enable core features and security. These cookies are required for the platform to operate and cannot be switched off in our systems. Examples include session identifiers, login cookies and preferences that maintain a secure, stable browsing experience for visitors to GardenerGreenwich. Without essential cookies you may not be able to use some parts of the site and your experience could be degraded.

Analytics Cookies

We use analytics cookies to collect aggregated information about how people use the site. Analytics cookies help us understand traffic patterns, page load times and common navigation paths so we can improve layout and content. Typical analytics cookies are used to measure visits, unique users, and interaction events; they do not identify you personally but do support ongoing improvement of the Gardener Greenwich user journey.

• Visitor counts — to see how many people visit and which pages are most popular.
• Session tracking — to follow navigation to diagnose issues and improve flow.
• Performance metrics — to measure responsiveness and load speed.

Marketing Cookies

Marketing and advertising cookies are used to deliver content and offers that may be relevant to you. These cookies can track your visits across services and are often placed by third parties to help present tailored advertising. We explain the categories and do not use invasive profiling without consent. You may see references to Greenwich Gardener in partner cookies where third-party services assist with measurement or campaigns.

Purpose: performance monitoring and improvement

The primary purpose of performance monitoring cookies is to measure how well our site performs and to spot technical issues. Performance monitoring is key to fast, reliable service; cookies collect anonymised site speed data, error logs and feature usage patterns so we can prioritise fixes. These tools allow the Gardener-Greenwich team to reduce load times, improve accessibility and enhance mobile responsiveness without collecting personal identity information.

Third-party cookies may be used where third-party vendors supply analytics or marketing services. We carefully evaluate these vendors to ensure they follow privacy-conscious practices. Cookie durations vary: session cookies expire at the end of your visit while persistent cookies may remain for months depending on their role. All cookie choices are made with the aim of balancing functionality, analytics insight and user privacy.

User control — you have choices about cookies. Most browsers allow you to block, delete or manage cookies at any time using your browser settings or preference panels. For example, you can disable third-party cookies while still allowing essential cookies required by Gardener Greenwich. Changing settings may alter how the site performs, and turning off analytics or marketing cookies may reduce personalised experiences but does not prevent access to core content.

How to manage: adjust cookie settings in your browser or through any cookie preference tool provided on the site. You can clear cookies, set retention periods, or use private browsing modes to limit cookie persistence. If you choose to reject analytics cookies, we will stop collecting anonymised performance data for your sessions where technically feasible.

Updates to this Cookie Policy: we may update this cookie policy to reflect changes in technology, law or how we operate. When we make changes, the updated policy will take effect immediately for new visits, and we will indicate the date of the latest revision in the policy metadata. As a final note, Gardener Greenwich, the gardener greenwich service and related offerings are committed to transparent cookie practices that respect your privacy while enabling a high-quality online experience.
