Cookie Policy for Gardener Clapham

Welcome to the Gardener Clapham cookie policy. This document explains how Gardener in Clapham and affiliated services use cookies and similar tracking technologies. We aim to be clear about what we collect, why we collect it, and how you can manage your preferences. This policy applies when you interact with content provided by a Clapham gardener, whether reading notices, booking services, or viewing images of our work.

What are cookies? Cookies are small text files placed on your device to store information that helps sites remember you. A Gardener-Clapham session cookie, for example, keeps your settings stable while you navigate pages. Cookies do not typically identify you personally, but they do record preferences and usage patterns for better service delivery.

Types of cookies we use are grouped below so you can understand their roles and how they help the Clapham gardener service:

• Essential cookies — These cookies are necessary for core functions. They enable you to access secure areas, maintain a booking session, and ensure basic navigation. Without essential cookies, some features will not work.
• Analytics cookies — Also called performance cookies, these track how users interact with pages and features. Analytics let our Gardener in Clapham team understand which pages are visited most and where improvements are needed. This supports performance monitoring to optimize load times and content placement.
• Marketing cookies — These cookies help deliver content and offers relevant to you, based on browsing behaviour. They may be used by third parties to build a profile of interests and serve targeted advertising.

Each cookie type serves a distinct purpose: essential cookies preserve functionality; analytics cookies enable performance monitoring and site improvement; and marketing cookies assist relevant communications. The Clapham gardener service uses aggregated analytics to refine service delivery and scheduling.

We do not use cookies to collect sensitive personal data. When analytics are used, they are aggregated and anonymized where possible so the gardener at Clapham can make decisions based on trends, not individual identities.

The following options outline how you control cookie use:

Consent and toggles: You may accept or decline non-essential cookies through a cookie banner or preference center presented when you first visit. Choosing to decline marketing or analytics cookies will limit some personalization and analytical insights but will not prevent essential functionality.

Browser settings: Most browsers allow you to block or delete cookies via their settings. Use your browser’s privacy or security settings to review stored cookies and remove those you no longer want.

Managing third-party cookies: Some cookies are set by external providers (for example, analytics platforms). You can opt out of many third-party tracking services through their public opt-out tools or by adjusting your browser or device settings.

Security and retention: Cookies are stored on your device for a limited time. Essential cookies are short-lived where possible. Analytics and marketing cookies may persist longer to allow meaningful performance monitoring and trend analysis by the Clapham gardener team.

Changes to this policy: We may update this cookie policy to reflect new practices or changes in law. When we do, we will update the date of the policy and, if required, request renewed consent for non-essential cookies. This policy aims to balance the gardener Clapham service’s need to monitor performance and deliver helpful content while respecting your privacy and control preferences.
