What Are Cookies

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device when you visit a website. They allow the website to recognise your device and store certain information about your visit. Cookies can be session cookies, which are deleted when you close your browser, or persistent cookies, which remain on your device for a set period or until you delete them.

Why We Use Cookies

We use cookies to make our website work efficiently, to understand how visitors use our pages, and to support our marketing activities. Certain cookies are essential for the operation of the site, while others help us to improve performance, tailor content, and measure the effectiveness of our services.

Types of Cookies We Use

Essential Cookies

Essential cookies are necessary for the basic functioning of our website. They enable features such as navigating between pages, accessing secure areas, and remembering your basic settings during a visit. Without these cookies, the website may not operate correctly, and some services you request cannot be provided. These cookies do not track your browsing activity on other websites and are generally set in response to actions you take on the site, such as filling in forms or setting privacy preferences.

Analytics and Performance Cookies

Analytics cookies help us understand how visitors interact with our website so we can monitor performance and improve user experience. These cookies collect information such as which pages are visited most often, how long users stay on each page, and if they encounter errors. The information gathered is aggregated and does not directly identify individual visitors. We use these insights to optimise the layout of our pages, enhance navigation, and ensure our content remains relevant and useful.

Performance monitoring is a key purpose of our use of analytics cookies. By tracking page load times, navigation flows, and usage patterns, we can identify technical issues, improve responsiveness, and maintain a reliable and efficient website for all 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 us or by our advertising and marketing partners. These cookies can help show you information that aligns with your gardening interests and measure the results of promotional campaigns. They may also be used to limit the number of times you see an advertisement and to help us understand how effective our marketing communications are.

Marketing cookies can track your visits to our website and may combine this information with data from other websites, enabling the creation of a profile of your interests. This profiling helps personalise our communications, but you can control or disable these cookies as described below.

User Control and Managing Cookies

You have the right to decide whether to accept or reject cookies. When you first visit our website, you may be presented with options to manage your cookie settings. You can modify these choices at any time by adjusting your browser settings to refuse cookies or to alert you when cookies are being used.

Most web browsers allow you to block some or all cookies, delete existing cookies, or configure your preferences for specific websites. Please note that if you choose to disable essential cookies, certain features or services on our website may not function properly or may become unavailable.

By continuing to browse our website without adjusting your settings, you consent to our use of cookies as outlined in this Cookie Policy. You can revisit this policy periodically to stay informed about how we use cookies and make any changes to your preferences through your browser tools.
