Cookie Policy for Gardeners Greenwich

Gardeners Greenwich respects your privacy and is committed to being clear about how cookies are used while you interact with our services. This cookie policy explains the types of cookies we and our partners may place on your device, what they do, and how you can control them. Whether you refer to us as gardeners greenwich or Gardeners of Greenwich, this statement applies equally to all digital interactions.

What this policy covers

This policy covers cookies and similar technologies placed when you browse pages or use features provided by GardenersGreenwich. Cookies are small text files stored on your device that help recognize you and remember preferences. Essential information about cookie categories, retention, and third-party involvement is summarized below to help you make informed choices.

We use cookies to support site functionality and to improve performance. Cookies may be created by our site or by third parties that provide services such as analytics and marketing. You will see references here to Greenwich gardeners services and related cookie uses. We do not use cookies to collect unnecessary personal data; cookies focus on technical identifiers and usage patterns to maintain service quality.

Cookie types we use

To make the policy practical, cookies are grouped into primary types:

• Essential cookies – required for core site operations, login sessions, security, and accessibility. These cookies cannot be turned off without affecting functionality.
• Analytics cookies – used for performance monitoring and statistical purposes. They help us understand how pages are used, which features are popular, and how the site performs under load.
• Marketing cookies – enable personalized content and measure the effectiveness of communications without storing direct personal identifiers.

Performance monitoring is a key reason we deploy analytics cookies. By measuring page load times, interaction rates, and error occurrences, analytics tools provide aggregated insights into how our content performs and where maintenance or enhancements are required. These cookies do not typically identify you personally; they record activity patterns to improve responsiveness and reduce downtime.

Controlling cookies lets you balance convenience and privacy. Most browsers let you block or remove cookies via settings. Additionally, many operating systems and devices offer privacy controls. If you disable analytics or marketing cookies, some features may be less tailored, and reporting accuracy for performance monitoring will be reduced.

User choice and consent When first visiting our properties online, you may be asked to provide consent for non-essential cookies. Consent management is designed to be simple: accept, decline, or adjust preferences. Choosing to decline does not prevent use of essential cookies that are necessary for the site to work as intended.

Data retention practices vary by cookie type. Essential cookies are short-lived and tied to sessions, analytics cookies may persist for several months to support trend analysis, and marketing cookies can last longer to measure campaign performance. Third-party cookies are governed by their own retention policies, and we recommend reviewing any third-party disclosures when they are referenced.

Third-party services may place cookies in connection with embedded features or integrations. We carefully select partners who provide necessary functionality or analytics and expect them to follow applicable privacy standards. Where relevant, third-party cookie use is disclosed at the point of inclusion so you understand who is involved in performance monitoring or targeting.

Refusing or deleting non-essential cookies can affect how features behave and may limit personalized experiences. However, essential functionality will remain unaffected where feasible. For those using Gardeners Greenwich services through shared or public devices, we encourage clearing cookies after each session to protect privacy.

In summary, this policy explains cookie categories—essential, analytics, and marketing—how they support performance monitoring and service quality, and how you can exercise control. References to various forms of our name like GardenersGreenwich or Gardeners of Greenwich reflect the same commitment: transparent cookie practices and respect for user choices.
