What Are Cookies
Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer, tablet, or mobile device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites function properly, improve user experience, and provide information to website owners about how their site is being used. Some cookies are temporary and are deleted when you close your browser, while others remain on your device for a longer period or until you delete them.
Types of Cookies We Use
We use several categories of cookies on the Gardeners Twickenham website, each serving a specific purpose to help us deliver and improve our services.
Essential Cookies
Essential cookies are necessary for the basic operation of our website. Without these cookies, certain features and services would not function correctly. They help with core functionalities such as page navigation, secure areas of the site, and basic preferences like your cookie consent settings. Essential cookies do not collect information that identifies you personally and cannot be switched off using the website controls, although you can block them through your browser settings. However, doing so may affect how our site works.
Analytics Cookies
Analytics cookies help us understand how visitors use the Gardeners Twickenham website. They collect information such as which pages are visited most often, how long visitors stay on a page, and whether any error messages are encountered. This information is generally aggregated and does not directly identify individual visitors. We use analytics cookies to monitor website performance, measure overall usage, and identify areas where we can improve layout, navigation, and content. By analysing trends and patterns, we can make our website more useful and efficient for all visitors.

They may be set by us or by our advertising and marketing partners to build a profile of your interests based on your use of our website. This information can be used to show you more tailored adverts on other websites or platforms. Marketing cookies also help us measure the effectiveness of our advertising, for example by understanding whether you visited our site after viewing an advert. If you do not allow these cookies, you may see less targeted advertising.
Performance Monitoring and Improvement
One of the main reasons we use cookies, particularly analytics and some marketing cookies, is to monitor the performance of the Gardeners Twickenham website. Performance monitoring includes tracking page load times, navigation paths, user engagement, and technical issues.
