What Are Cookies

Cookies are small text files that are stored on your device when you visit a website. They enable the website to recognize your device, remember your preferences, and gather information about how you interact with pages and features. Some cookies are set directly by Gardeners Aperfield, while others may be set by third parties that provide services to us.

Types of Cookies We Use

Essential Cookies

Essential cookies are necessary for the basic functioning of the Gardeners Aperfield website. They enable core features such as page navigation, secure areas, and access to certain services. Without these cookies, the website may not function properly and certain requested services cannot be provided. These cookies do not store information that can be used for marketing or to track your browsing activity across other sites.

Analytics and Performance Cookies

Analytics cookies help us understand how visitors use the Gardeners Aperfield website. They collect information such as which pages are visited most often, how long users stay on a page, and any error messages encountered. This information is aggregated and does not directly identify individual visitors. We use these cookies to measure and monitor the performance of our website, identify areas that may need improvement, and make the site easier and more efficient to use.

Performance monitoring through analytics cookies allows us to assess how quickly pages load, how responsive features are, and how changes to layout or content affect user experience. This ongoing evaluation helps ensure that the Gardeners Aperfield website remains stable, reliable, and aligned with the needs of our visitors.

Marketing and Personalisation Cookies

Marketing cookies are used to deliver content and messages that are more relevant to your interests. They may be set by Gardeners Aperfield or by third parties acting on our behalf. These cookies can help us understand which services or offers may be of interest to you and can be used to measure the effectiveness of advertising or promotional campaigns.

Marketing cookies may also be used to limit how often you see a particular message and to help tailor the content you see when you return to our website. While these cookies may track your use of our site, they are not used to make decisions that have legal or similarly significant effects on you.

How We Use Cookies for Performance Monitoring

Gardeners Aperfield uses cookies to monitor and improve the performance of our website over time. By collecting statistical information about page visits, loading times, and user interactions, we can detect technical issues, identify trends, and test improvements. This performance monitoring helps us ensure that our pages remain accessible, that forms and interactive elements work correctly, and that the overall browsing experience is smooth and efficient.

The insights we gain from performance monitoring are used solely to support and enhance the functioning and usability of the Gardeners Aperfield website. We do not use this data to create profiles for unrelated purposes.

You have control over how cookies are used on your device. Most web browsers allow you to view, delete, or block cookies, as well as to set preferences for how cookies are handled in the future. You can usually find these options in the settings or preferences section of your browser.

You may choose to block or delete all cookies, or only certain categories, such as marketing cookies. Please note that disabling essential cookies may affect the operation of the Gardeners Aperfield website and could prevent you from using some features or accessing certain areas.

If you use multiple devices or browsers, you will need to adjust cookie settings on each device and in each browser individually, as preferences are not shared across them.
