Cookie Policy for Gardening Bethnal Green
Welcome to the cookie policy for Gardening Bethnal Green. This statement explains how cookies and similar technologies are used by our Bethnal Green gardening service to improve user experience, measure performance and support relevant marketing. Please read carefully to understand the types of cookies we use, how they work and your choices for managing them.
What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files stored on your device by your browser. They allow the Gardens of Bethnal Green team to recognise devices and remember preferences during and between visits. Some cookies are temporary and expire when you close your browser, while others remain on your device for a set period.
Types of cookies we use
We classify cookies used by Gardening in Bethnal Green into three main categories below:
- Essential cookies: These cookies are strictly necessary to provide core site functions. They enable secure area access, session continuity and fundamental features required for the site to operate. Without essential cookies, Bethnal Green gardeners cannot guarantee reliable service delivery.
- Analytics cookies: Also called performance cookies, these collect information about how visitors use our site, including pages visited, time spent on pages and error messages. Data collected by analytics helps with performance monitoring, allowing Gardening Bethnal Green to identify slow pages, broken elements and opportunities to improve speed and usability.
- Marketing cookies: These cookies are used to deliver content and offers that are relevant to your interests. They can help measure the effectiveness of promotional content and tailor ads related to Bethnal Green gardening activities.
Purpose for performance monitoring: Performance monitoring is an essential use of analytics cookies. By collecting anonymised performance metrics, we can diagnose latency, reduce page load times and enhance the responsiveness of our gardening resources. This helps us prioritise technical fixes and user experience improvements without identifying individual visitors.
How long do cookies last? Cookie duration varies by type. Session cookies expire after you close your browser. Persistent cookies remain until they expire or are deleted. We and third-party providers may set both short-lived and longer-term cookies to support functionality and measurement for Bethnal Green gardening content.
