This cookie policy explains what cookies are, why we use them, and how you can control them. The policy applies to all visitors and covers common cookie categories used by Haringey gardener pages and services.

We recognise that privacy matters. Essential cookies are necessary for the basic function of the site and to secure your session. These cookies do not store personal information beyond what is required to provide core functionality. Essential cookies ensure that pages load properly, forms behave as expected, and navigation remains stable while you browse content about Gardening in Haringey.

Types of Cookies We Use

The main cookie categories used across our materials include:

• Essential cookies – required for security, login states, and basic navigation.
• Analytics cookies – to collect anonymous data about visitor behaviour for performance monitoring and improvement.
• Marketing cookies – used to personalise and manage promotional content where applicable.

Purpose: Performance Monitoring

Performance and analytics cookies help us measure how gardeners and visitors use our resources so we can make informed improvements. Performance monitoring cookies track page load times, broken links, and common journeys through content about Haringey garden services. This information is aggregated and anonymised to respect user privacy while enabling better site performance.

Analytics cookies are set to collect statistical information such as pages visited, time spent on pages, and general navigation patterns. These cookies do not collect names or personal contact details. Instead, they support decisions that improve content clarity, reduce load times, and prioritise high-value gardening resources for the community of Haringey gardeners.

User Control Over Cookies

You have control over cookies at any time. You can manage cookie preferences through your browser settings or via available opt-out tools. Many browsers allow you to block cookies, delete existing cookies, or configure prompts to accept cookies on a case-by-case basis. For those who prefer more direct control, look for cookie preference options presented in the site banner when first visiting pages about the Gardener Haringey services.

When you choose to disable analytics cookies, some site features related to usage reporting and performance tracking may be affected. This may result in less personalised content or slower identification of technical issues. Nevertheless, essential functions remain active so that core tasks are still possible: browsing, reading gardening advice, and viewing images and resources.

Marketing and Personalisation

Marketing cookies may be used to tailor promotional content if you opt in. These cookies help present relevant gardening topics or event notices that match interests indicated by your browsing behaviour. Haringey gardener content may be recommended based on general preferences, always respecting user choices and privacy options.

User Choices and Retention Cookie retention periods vary: essential cookies are typically session-based, while analytics and marketing cookies may persist for several months. If you clear cookies from your device, saved preferences will be removed and may need to be set again. We encourage regular review of your browser settings to keep control of stored data related to gardening content and services.
