Cookie Policy for Gardening Brockley

Welcome to the Cookie Policy for Gardening Brockley. This policy explains how Brockley gardening services and the Gardens of Brockley use cookies and similar technologies to support site functionality, improve performance monitoring, and deliver targeted marketing. We aim to be clear about what we collect and why. Please read this policy to understand your choices.

What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files placed on your device that help identify and remember preferences, enable essential features, and measure how a service is used. For Brockley garden pages and related content, cookies allow basic operations like language selection and session continuity. Essential cookies are required for core functionality, while other types support analysis and promotions.

Below we outline the categories of cookies used by Gardening Brockley and similar Brockley garden resources. These categories help you understand the purpose and duration of each cookie type:

• Essential cookies – Necessary for secure access, cart or booking functionality, and user preferences that cannot be disabled without degrading service.
• Analytics cookies – Used for performance monitoring and to understand how visitors move through pages; these cookies help improve the experience by tracking load times and error rates.
• Marketing cookies – Employed to present relevant promotions and measure campaign effectiveness; these can be set by us or trusted third parties.

How Brockley gardening services use cookies

The primary aim of cookies on Gardening Brockley pages is to support reliable operation and to collect anonymized metrics for performance monitoring. Performance monitoring includes measuring page load speed, resource latency, and bounce rates so that the team can prioritize technical improvements and better manage garden service features. Performance monitoring is distinct from personal profiling; data is aggregated and used to enhance stability and speed.

Analytics cookies collect information such as the pages you visit, the links you click, and the time spent on a page. These metrics allow us to detect slow pages, identify broken resources, and understand peak usage times. By monitoring these signals, Gardening Brockley can allocate resources more effectively and reduce errors, resulting in a faster, more resilient experience for visitors.

User control is important. You can manage cookie preferences through your browser settings or the on-site preference tool where available. Disabling analytics cookies stops performance tracking but may limit our ability to spot reliability issues quickly. Disabling essential cookies can prevent certain features from functioning. Marketing cookies can usually be opted out of without affecting general use.

Third-party cookies are sometimes used for analytics and advertising. These cookies are governed by the third parties that set them. Gardening Brockley does not sell personal data; marketing cookies may be used to measure campaign reach and ad relevance across platforms. Marketing cookies help ensure that promotional content is relevant and not repeated excessively.

Cookie retention and lifespan: Cookies can be session-based (deleted after you close your browser) or persistent (remain for a defined period). Typical analytics cookies might persist for several months, while marketing cookies can remain longer to support ad frequency limits. Essential cookies are usually session-based or short-lived to protect functionality.

Updates to this policy: Gardening Brockley reserves the right to update cookie practices as technology and regulations evolve. When changes are significant, the updated policy will describe the new cookie categories, purposes such as enhanced performance monitoring, and any new user controls. We encourage regular review so you remain informed about cookie use in Brockley Garden Services or any Brockley gardening content you access.
