Cookie Policy for Gardening Aldgate

Welcome to the Gardening Aldgate cookie policy. This statement explains how cookies and similar technologies are used on the Gardening Aldgate site and related Gardening in Aldgate services. It sets out what cookies are, the types we use, and how you can control them. The policy applies when you interact with our content and tools designed to support Aldgate gardening information and services.

What are cookies and why we use them

Cookies are small text files placed on your device to help recognize it and remember information. Cookies do not identify you personally, but they allow the site to remember preferences, measure performance, and tailor marketing. In the context of Gardening Aldgate, cookies help ensure quick access to gardening resources and smoother navigation.

Types of cookies we use include:

• Essential cookies – required to enable core functions (for example, security, log-in states and form submissions).
• Analytics cookies – used to monitor and improve site performance and usability; they collect aggregated, anonymized data about visits and interactions.
• Marketing cookies – used to deliver relevant ads and measure campaign effectiveness across the web and social platforms.

Essential cookies and site operation

Essential cookies are necessary for the basic operation of the Gardening Aldgate service. They enable the site to remember your choices during a visit and to maintain secure sessions. Without these cookies, important functions may not be available and your experience of Aldgate gardening resources could be degraded.

Analytics and performance monitoring

Analytics cookies help us understand how visitors interact with Gardening Aldgate pages. We use performance monitoring to track page load times, popular content about Aldgate gardening, and error rates so we can fix issues quickly. The purpose of performance monitoring is to improve site speed, reduce downtime, and prioritize enhancements that matter most to users. Data collected is aggregated and not used to identify you personally. Examples include counts of visits, time spent on pages, and paths through gardening content.

Marketing cookies and personalization

Marketing cookies allow us to show relevant gardening offers and promotional content based on general interests. These may be set by third-party partners and are used to measure the effectiveness of campaigns. You can manage or opt out of targeted advertising through your browser settings or platform-specific opt-outs; this does not remove generic advertising but reduces personalization.

User control and choices

We provide several options to control cookies on the Gardening Aldgate site. You can decline non-essential cookies via the cookie banner, adjust preferences in the cookie settings panel, or disable cookies at any time through your browser. The main controls are:

• Cookie banner – choose to accept all, reject non-essential, or manage preferences.
• Browser controls – block or delete cookies using browser settings.
• Opt-out mechanisms – use third-party opt-outs for analytics or marketing where available.

Retention and third-party cookies

Some cookies are session-based and expire when you close your browser; others persist for months to enable convenient repeat visits to Gardening Aldgate resources. Third-party cookies, used for analytics or advertising, are governed by the policies of those providers. We review partners periodically and only work with providers that adhere to appropriate privacy standards.

Updates and changes — We may update this cookie policy when our use of cookies changes or to reflect regulatory developments affecting Aldgate gardening content delivery. When significant changes occur we will indicate the update and the effective date. By continuing to use the Gardening Aldgate content after changes, you accept the revised terms. This policy explains cookie types, how we use them for performance monitoring and improvement, and the controls available to you without offering site-specific contact details.
