This Cookie Policy explains how Gardeners Kingston Upon Thames uses cookies and similar technologies on our website. It sets out what cookies are, which types we use, why we use them, and how you can manage your cookie preferences. By continuing to use our website after seeing our cookie notice, you agree to the use of cookies as described in this policy, unless you adjust your browser settings to refuse them.
What Are Cookies
Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device when you visit a website. They help the site remember your device and your preferences over a period of time. 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.
Cookies are widely used to make websites work more efficiently, to improve user experience, and to provide information to website owners about how their services are used.
Types of Cookies We Use
We use several categories of cookies on the Gardeners Kingston Upon Thames website. Each category serves a different purpose and contributes to the performance, security, and personalisation of our services.
Essential Cookies
Essential cookies are necessary for the basic operation of our website. Without these cookies, certain core features and functions would not work properly. These cookies enable you to navigate pages, access secure areas, and use key features such as form submissions and preference settings.
We use essential cookies to keep the website secure, remember your basic choices during a visit, and ensure that the pages you request load correctly. Because these cookies are strictly necessary, they cannot usually be disabled through our site and are generally only blocked via your browser settings.
Analytics Cookies
Analytics cookies allow us to understand how visitors use our website. They collect information about how often pages are visited, how long users stay on each page, and which features are used most frequently. The data gathered is aggregated and does not directly identify individual visitors.
We use analytics cookies for performance monitoring and to help us improve the content and structure of our website. For example, analytics data can show us which gardening service pages attract the most interest or whether users experience difficulties finding certain information. This insight helps us refine navigation, enhance page loading speed, and create more relevant content.
Marketing 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 third parties who provide advertising or social media services. These cookies help build a profile of your interests based on the pages you visit and the actions you take on our website.
Marketing cookies can be used to show you tailored information about our gardening services and offers, and to limit how often you see certain messages. They may also help us measure the effectiveness of promotional campaigns by tracking interactions with advertisements or service highlights.
How We Use Cookies for Performance Monitoring
Performance monitoring is an important part of maintaining a reliable and user friendly website for Gardeners Kingston Upon Thames. Through analytics and similar cookies, we track website performance indicators such as page load times, navigation paths, and general usage trends.
This information helps us detect technical issues, optimise images and content, and ensure our site remains accessible and responsive across different devices and browsers. Monitoring performance through cookies allows us to continuously improve the online experience for new and returning visitors.
User Control and Managing Cookies

You can also manage cookies through your browser settings at any time. Most browsers allow you to view the cookies stored on your device, delete them, block cookies from specific sites, or refuse all cookies. Please note that if you disable essential cookies through your browser, some parts of our website may not function correctly.
If you choose to block analytics or marketing cookies, you will still be able to use our website, but some features, such as personalised content or tailored service information, may be reduced or unavailable.
