Gardeners Queensbury Cookie Policy

This Cookie Policy explains how Gardeners Queensbury uses cookies and similar technologies on our website. It describes the types of cookies we use, the purposes for which we use them, and the choices you have in managing your cookie preferences. By continuing to use our website, you agree to the placement of cookies on your device as described in this policy.

What Are Cookies

Cookies are small text files that are stored on your device when you visit a website. They help the website recognise your device and remember information about your visit. Cookies can support core site functionality, improve performance, and enable more personalised content and advertising.

Types of Cookies We Use

Essential Cookies

Essential cookies are necessary for the basic operation of the Gardeners Queensbury website. They enable key features such as page navigation, secure access to certain areas, and the correct display of content. Without these cookies, the website would not function properly. Because they are strictly necessary, they are always active and cannot usually be disabled through the website’s own settings.

Analytics Cookies

Analytics cookies help us understand how visitors use our website. They collect information such as which pages are visited most often, how long visitors stay on each page, and any error messages encountered. The data collected is aggregated and does not directly identify individual users.

We use analytics cookies to monitor website performance, identify technical issues, and understand how our content is being used. This insight allows us to make improvements to site structure, navigation, and the information we provide, so that the experience for visitors is continually refined and enhanced.

Marketing Cookies

Marketing cookies are used to deliver content and advertising that is more relevant to your interests. They may be set by Gardeners Queensbury or by third parties that provide marketing and advertising services on our behalf. These cookies can remember that you have visited our website and may be used to show you tailored content on other websites.

Marketing cookies can also help us measure the effectiveness of our promotional campaigns by tracking how users interact with our advertisements and related content. This helps us better understand the interests of our audience and improve the way we present our services.

Performance Monitoring and Improvements

A key purpose of using analytics and certain marketing cookies is performance monitoring. By analysing the data collected, we can assess how quickly pages load, how smoothly features operate, and where visitors may experience difficulties. This information supports continuous optimisation of our website’s speed, reliability, and usability.

Performance monitoring enables Gardeners Queensbury to identify patterns such as frequently visited pages, common navigation paths, and areas where visitors may leave the site. Using this insight, we can adjust our content and layout to make it easier to find information and to ensure that our services are presented clearly and effectively.

Your Cookie Choices and Control

You have control over how cookies are used on your device. Most web browsers allow you to manage your cookie settings, including blocking certain types of cookies or deleting existing cookies. You can usually find these options in the settings or preferences menu of your browser.

If you choose to disable or block some cookies, certain features of the Gardeners Queensbury website may not function as intended. Essential cookies, in particular, are required for core functionality and may not be fully disabled without affecting your experience.

You can also clear cookies from your device at any time, which may remove saved preferences and require you to reset certain settings when you next visit our website.

Changes to This Cookie Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in technology, legal requirements, or our practices. Any updates will be posted on this page, and the revised policy will apply from the date it is published. We encourage you to review this policy periodically to stay informed about how cookies are used on the Gardeners Queensbury website.
