Gardeners Hatton Cookie Policy

This Cookie Policy explains how Gardeners Hatton uses cookies and similar technologies when you visit our website. It describes the types of cookies we set, why we use them, and how you can manage your cookie preferences. By continuing to use our website after seeing the cookie notice, you agree to the use of cookies as described in this policy, unless you change your browser settings or opt-out where available.

What Are Cookies

Cookies are small text files stored on your device by your web browser when you visit a website. They allow the website to recognize your device, remember your preferences, and improve your experience. Some cookies are necessary for the website to function correctly, while others support performance monitoring, analytics, and marketing activities.

Types of Cookies We Use

Gardeners Hatton uses several categories of cookies to provide and enhance our services. The main types are essential cookies, analytics cookies, and marketing cookies.

Essential Cookies

Essential cookies are required for the basic operation of our website. Without these cookies, key features of the site cannot function properly. They enable functions such as page navigation, access to secure areas, saving cookie preferences, and maintaining your session as you move between pages. Essential cookies do not track your browsing activity for marketing purposes. Because they are strictly necessary, you cannot disable these cookies through our website, although you can still block them through your browser settings, which may affect site functionality.

Analytics Cookies

Analytics cookies help us understand how visitors use the Gardeners Hatton website. They collect information such as which pages are visited, how long users stay on each page, the type of device and browser used, and general usage patterns. This information is aggregated and does not identify you directly. We use analytics cookies for performance monitoring so that we can measure how well our website is working, identify technical issues, and make improvements to layout, content, and navigation. By analysing this data, we can ensure that the site remains reliable, fast, and relevant to our visitors.

Marketing Cookies

Marketing cookies are used to deliver content and advertisements that are more relevant to your interests. They may be set by Gardeners Hatton or by our advertising and marketing partners. These cookies can help limit the number of times you see the same advertisement, measure the effectiveness of marketing campaigns, and support personalised content. Marketing cookies can track your browsing activity across different websites and build a profile of your interests. If you choose to disable marketing cookies, you may still see advertisements, but they are likely to be less tailored to your preferences.

Performance Monitoring and Site Improvement

Performance monitoring is a key purpose of our use of cookies, especially analytics cookies. By examining how visitors interact with pages, forms, and navigation elements, we can identify which areas of the website are working well and which need improvement. For example, analytics data can show us if pages are loading slowly, if users are leaving the site from certain pages, or if particular features are underused. We use this information to diagnose problems, enhance reliability, and guide future updates so that Gardeners Hatton remains easy to use and efficient.

User Control and Managing Cookies

You have control over how cookies are used on your device. When you first visit the Gardeners Hatton website, you may be presented with options to manage your cookie preferences, allowing you to accept or reject certain categories such as analytics or marketing cookies, while still allowing essential cookies that are required for the site to function.

In addition, most web browsers allow you to manage cookies through their settings. You can usually configure your browser to block all cookies, accept only certain types, delete existing cookies, or receive a notification before a cookie is stored. The steps to do this vary between browsers, so please refer to your browser help section for detailed instructions. Be aware that disabling or blocking some cookies may impact your experience and limit the functionality of the Gardeners Hatton website.

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in technology, legal requirements, or how we operate our website. Any changes will take effect when the revised policy is posted on the Gardeners Hatton website. You should review this page periodically to stay informed about our use of cookies and your choices.
