Gardeners Hoxton Cookie Policy

This Cookie Policy explains how Gardeners Hoxton uses cookies and similar technologies on our website. It describes the types of cookies we use, the purposes for which we use them, and the choices you have in managing your cookie preferences.

By continuing to use our website after seeing a cookie notice, you agree that cookies may be placed on your device as described in this policy. You can withdraw or modify your consent at any time using your browser settings or available on-site controls.

What Are Cookies

Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They help the website recognise your device and remember information about your visit, such as your preferences, pages you visited, and actions you took. Some cookies are deleted when you close your browser, while others remain on your device for a defined period or until you delete them.

Types of Cookies We Use

Essential Cookies

Essential cookies are necessary for the basic operation of the Gardeners Hoxton website. Without these cookies, core features and services would not function properly. They are typically set in response to actions you take, such as navigating between pages, filling in forms, or adjusting privacy settings.

These cookies enable functions such as secure browsing, correct page loading, and access to restricted areas where applicable. Because they are required for the website to work, essential cookies cannot generally be turned off using our internal controls, but you may still block them in your browser settings, which may cause parts of the site to stop working correctly.

Analytics Cookies

Analytics cookies help us understand how visitors use the Gardeners Hoxton website. They collect information such as which pages are visited most often, how long visitors stay on a page, and whether they encounter errors. This information is aggregated and does not directly identify you.

The purpose of analytics cookies is to support performance monitoring and continual improvement. By analysing how the site is used, we can identify trends, measure the effectiveness of content, and make informed decisions about design, navigation, and functionality. This enables us to provide a smoother, more relevant experience for visitors.

Marketing Cookies

Marketing cookies are used to deliver content that is more relevant to your interests. They may be set by Gardeners Hoxton or by selected third parties whose services we use to support marketing and advertising activities.

These cookies can help limit the number of times you see a particular advertisement, measure the effectiveness of marketing campaigns, and understand how users respond to promotional content. They may also be used to build a profile of your browsing behaviour on our site in order to show you more tailored information.

Performance Monitoring and Improvement

Performance monitoring is a core purpose of our use of cookies, particularly analytics cookies. We use the data collected to assess site speed, navigation efficiency, user engagement, and technical reliability. This includes identifying pages that load slowly, features that are rarely used, and content that is frequently revisited.

By reviewing this data, Gardeners Hoxton can prioritise improvements, fix issues, and develop new features that better meet the needs of visitors. Performance monitoring cookies do not track your activity across unrelated websites, and we aim to use them in a way that respects your privacy while still enabling us to enhance the overall site experience.

Your Cookie Choices and Control

You have control over how cookies are used on your device. Most web browsers automatically accept cookies, but you can change your browser settings to refuse some or all cookies, or to notify you when a cookie is being placed.

If you choose to disable or block certain cookies, especially essential cookies, some parts of the Gardeners Hoxton website may not function as intended. Analytics and marketing cookies can often be managed separately through browser tools or on-site preference panels where available.

Deleting cookies does not prevent the website from placing new cookies on your device in the future. To manage your preferences on an ongoing basis, review and adjust your browser settings regularly.

Changes to This Cookie Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in technology, legal requirements, or our practices. Any updated version will be posted on this page with a revised date. We encourage you to review this policy periodically to stay informed about how Gardeners Hoxton uses cookies and how you can manage your preferences.
