Cookie Policy for Gardeners Croydon

Welcome to our cookie statement. This policy explains how Gardeners Croydon and associated Croydon gardeners services use cookies and similar technologies. Cookies help us deliver a reliable online experience, keep our systems secure, and measure how our pages and services perform. By using our pages you consent to the placement of cookies as described below unless you choose to control them.

What are cookies? Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a site. They remember preferences, distinguish users, and enable features. As a local lawn and garden provider, Gardeners in Croydon use cookies to keep sessions stable, reduce repeated form entries, and to enable essential functions such as booking flows and cart persistence for seasonal offers.

Types of cookies we use

We classify cookies into three general groups so you can make informed choices. These categories reflect the typical uses of cookies for small businesses and larger garden services in Croydon.

Cookie categories

• Essential cookies — necessary for core functionality. These cookies support site navigation, security checks, and account sessions. They cannot be switched off without affecting the site.
• Analytics cookies — used to understand how visitors use the site. They collect anonymous data about page visits, time on site, and interaction with content to improve performance monitoring and user experience.
• Marketing cookies — help deliver relevant promotions and adverts across the web. They track visitors across sites to show tailored content but are optional.

Performance monitoring is a key reason we deploy analytics cookies. These cookies help measure load times, identify slow pages, and detect technical errors that impact the browsing experience. With this information, our Croydon gardening team can prioritise improvements, reduce downtime, and ensure seasonal booking pages remain fast and reliable under heavy demand.

User control is central to our approach. You can manage cookie settings through your browser or device, or via cookie preference tools displayed on our site. Disabling analytics cookies stops data collection for performance analysis, though it will not affect essential cookies required for basic navigation and security.

People searching for garden services Croydon should know that retaining essential cookies ensures features like quote calculators, appointment scheduling, and secure checkout keep working. If you decline essential cookies, some functions may no longer work as expected and the experience could be reduced.

How to change cookie preferences — most browsers let you block or delete cookies via settings. You can clear stored cookies, set preferences for individual cookie categories, or use private browsing. When choosing to block advertising cookies, you may still see general ads but they will be less targeted. For performance purposes, analytics cookies are helpful but optional.

Retention and third parties — some cookies are set by third-party providers used to deliver analytics and marketing features. Retention periods vary: session cookies expire when your session ends; persistent cookies remain for a predetermined time to remember preferences. We do not use cookies to collect personal details beyond what is needed for the stated purposes.

Data minimisation is a core principle: we limit cookie-collected data to what is necessary for functionality, performance monitoring, and lawful marketing. If you later change your choices, you can update cookie settings and withdraw consent where applicable. Your privacy rights remain respected throughout.

Policy updates — from time to time we may revise this cookie policy to reflect changes in technologies or services. Significant changes will be signposted where practical. Continued use of the site after changes indicates acceptance of the new terms.

Acceptance — by continuing to use our services you acknowledge this Cookie Policy and the ways Gardeners Croydon and Croydon gardeners employ cookies for essential operation, analytics, and marketing. You retain control and can exercise choices at any time through browser settings or in-site preference tools.
