Cookie Policy for Gardeners Neasden

Gardeners Neasden and the gardeners of Neasden recognise the importance of privacy. This cookie policy explains how cookies and similar technologies are used to support site functionality, measure performance and deliver relevant content. Gardeners in Neasden adopt these practices to ensure transparency for everyone who interacts with our services.

We use cookies to provide a smooth experience, keep systems secure, and gather anonymous insights. Cookies do not store personal details about your finances or private records; they store small bits of data to remember preferences and interactions. This policy describes the types of cookies we use, how they function for Gardeners Neasden users, and your options for control and consent.

Types of Cookies Used

We categorise cookies into three main groups so you can understand their purpose:

• Essential cookies – required for the basic operation of our services. These cookies enable core functionality and security.
• Analytics cookies – used for performance and usage measurement. These help the Gardeners of Neasden monitor how features perform and where improvements are needed.
• Marketing cookies – used to personalise content and, where relevant, provide appropriate information about events or services.

Essential Cookies

Essential cookies are critical. They allow you to navigate and use key features without disruption. For example, they keep settings active during a visit and protect sessions. Without these, many functions would not work properly. Gardeners Neasden policy treats essential cookies as exempt from consent when strictly necessary for the service.

Analytics and Performance Monitoring

Analytics cookies are central to performance monitoring. Their purpose is to measure how services are used and how well they perform over time. Performance monitoring helps the gardeners in Neasden by identifying slow pages, tracking error rates, and evaluating load times so we can prioritise improvements. These cookies collect aggregated, non-identifying information on:

• page load speed and resource timings,
• frequency of errors and failed requests,
• general usage patterns that indicate what features are most relied upon.

Performance data is used to make technical improvements and ensure a reliable experience for all visitors. Analytics cookies do not store personal details; they support operational decisions and capacity planning for Gardeners Neasden services.

Marketing Cookies

Marketing cookies support content relevance by remembering visitor interests. They may be used by third-party providers to present material aligned with likely preferences. These cookies help us ensure communications and promotions are more useful, though they are not required for the basic functions of this service.

User Control and Consent

You have control over cookie choices. If you prefer not to accept non-essential cookies, you may adjust your browser settings or use cookie preference tools where available. Options typically include:

• accept all cookies,
• reject non-essential cookies,
• clear cookies stored on your device,
• manage consent for analytics and marketing separately.

Choosing to block analytics or marketing cookies may reduce personalised features and limit our ability to monitor performance for Gardeners Neasden services.

Third-Party Cookies and Data Sharing

Some cookies are set by third-party providers that support analytics or advertising. These third parties operate under their own policies and we encourage you to review them. Data collected via third-party cookies is typically aggregated and used to provide insights or tailor content; it is not used to obtain financial or sensitive personal details.

Updates and Effective Use

We may update this cookie policy to reflect changes in practice or law. Gardeners Neasden will keep cookie practices proportionate and transparent. By continuing to interact with our services you acknowledge this policy and the role cookies play in maintaining performance, security and a tailored experience.

Thank you for reviewing our cookie policy — it helps the gardeners in Neasden maintain a quality, monitored and secure environment.
