Types of cookies used

Essential cookies are necessary for core functionality, security, and basic navigation. Analytics cookies help us understand site performance and visitor interactions so we can monitor speed, page load, and feature usage. Marketing cookies support targeted content and promotional communications across devices and partners. These classifications reflect common practice and guide our handling of cookie data across Gardeners Charlton properties.

Essential cookies (also called strictly necessary) keep the site functioning. They enable secure sign-in, basket operations, and preferred language choices. Without these cookies you may be unable to use certain services. We mark such cookies as essential and retain them only as long as required. Gardeners Charlton relies on these for safety and baseline performance.

Analytics and performance monitoring

Analytics cookies collect aggregated, non-identifying information about how visitors use site pages, sections, and features. These cookies help Gardeners Charlton measure traffic patterns, identify slow pages, and find errors that affect user experience. We use these insights to improve load times, refine navigation flows, and prioritize technical fixes. Performance monitoring is central to improving reliability and reducing interruptions during browsing or transactional tasks.

User controls and cookie choices

You can manage or reject non-essential cookies using your browser settings or available preference tools. Analytics and marketing cookies are optional; choosing to opt out will reduce personalized content and limit tracking across third-party services. To change preferences, adjust settings in your browser or use cookie preference panels when presented. We provide clear options to accept, decline, or fine-tune cookie categories to respect your privacy.

Types explained:

• Essential: Necessary cookies that maintain secure sessions and basic functions.
• Analytics: Statistical cookies used for performance monitoring, traffic analysis, and improving site speed.
• Marketing: Tracking cookies that enable tailored promotions and measure campaign reach.

These definitions inform retention periods, third-party relationships, and cookie lifespans within Gardeners Charlton systems.

Marketing and personalization

Marketing cookies allow Gardeners Charlton and partners to present relevant offers and recommendations. These cookies may track your interests across sessions to build a profile used for advertising or content selection. Declining marketing cookies stops targeted campaigns but does not remove generic promotions. We may share hashed or pseudonymous identifiers with trusted partners to enable cross-device delivery while limiting personally identifiable exposure. Marketing cookie settings are separate from analytics choices and can be changed at any time.

Managing cookies and retention

You control cookies through browser settings, device preferences, or built-in banners. To disable analytics cookies while keeping essentials, deselect analytics categories in the cookie panel or use privacy add-ons. Our performance monitoring purpose is to spot latency, optimize images and scripts, and measure response time under real load. We keep analytics data aggregated and remove identifiers according to defined retention schedules to protect visitor privacy.

Updates and scope

We may update this cookie policy to reflect changes in technology or service offerings. Gardeners Charlton and related Gardener Charlton references will publish revisions and adjust cookie descriptions as needed. Please review your cookie preferences periodically; bold choices and underlined options in preference panels indicate critical settings. Our strong commitment to privacy includes limiting retention, anonymizing analytics records, and requiring partner compliance for marketing cookies and cross-site tracking controls. This policy complements applicable privacy safeguards globally.
