Cookie Policy — Gardener Catford

Welcome to the cookie policy for Gardener Catford. This statement explains how Gardener Catford and related Catford gardener services use cookies and similar technologies. It is designed to make clear what cookies are, why we use them for site operation and optimization, and how they support performance monitoring and user experience for gardeners in Catford and visitors exploring gardening services.

Types of cookies we use

We use three primary categories of cookies to support our site:

• Essential cookies — required for secure access, session management, and basic functionality so the site operates reliably for users booking or browsing gardening offerings.
• Analytics cookies — these are used for performance monitoring, helping us measure page load times, popular pages, and technical errors so our Catford gardening pages run smoothly.
• Marketing cookies — used to deliver relevant promotions and to assess campaign reach for gardening services Catford, while respecting privacy and user choices.

Essential cookies are strictly necessary to provide core features such as secure sign-in, basket and booking continuity, and protection against fraud. They do not profile you for advertising and are active whenever you use our core Catford gardener features. Disabling essential cookies will often prevent parts of the service from working.

Analytics and performance monitoring cookies collect aggregated and anonymised data about how people use the site. Performance monitoring helps identify slow-loading pages, track average response times, record error rates, and spot patterns that indicate where technical improvements are needed. This aggregated information is crucial to improve the speed and reliability of our gardening services pages and to enhance the experience for gardeners in Catford without exposing individual identities.

Marketing cookies may be set by trusted third parties to show tailored adverts and measure campaign effectiveness. These cookies can support cross-site advertising, audience insights and conversion tracking. We limit data sharing and require partners to handle data in accordance with applicable privacy standards for gardening and local service promotion.

Control and choice are important. You can manage cookie preferences through the cookie settings tool (if presented), or by changing your browser settings to refuse or block cookies. Note: blocking analytics or marketing cookies reduces tracking but will not prevent essential cookies from functioning, and some features tied to booking or account access may be affected.

Cookies are retained for different durations based on purpose: session cookies last until your browser is closed, performance cookies may persist for weeks or months so we can monitor trends over time, and marketing cookies often persist longer to support campaign measurement. We review retention periods regularly and only keep cookie data for as long as needed for the stated purpose.

Your choices and consent

Consent for non-essential cookies is sought where required by law. You can accept all cookies, reject non-essential cookies, or choose granular settings to allow only analytics but not marketing. If you withdraw consent later, you can update settings via your browser or any preference management interface we provide. We recommend periodic review of your choices to ensure they match how you want to be tracked while using services provided by the Catford gardening team.
