What Are Cookies

They allow the website to recognise your device and store certain information about your preferences or past actions. Cookies help us operate our website, improve its performance, and provide a more personalised experience for visitors.
Types of Cookies We Use
Essential Cookies
Essential cookies are necessary for the basic functioning of the Gardeners Swiss Cottage website. They enable core features such as page navigation, secure access to certain areas, and correct display of content. Without these cookies, the website may not function properly, and some services you request cannot be provided. These cookies do not gather information that could be used for marketing or to remember your browsing history on other websites.
Analytics and Performance Cookies
Analytics cookies help us understand how visitors use the Gardeners Swiss Cottage website. They collect information such as which pages are visited most often, how long visitors stay on a page, and whether any errors occur. This information is aggregated and does not directly identify individual visitors. We use these insights to monitor website performance, improve site structure and content, and ensure that the website remains reliable and easy to use.
Performance monitoring is an important part of our commitment to a high quality online experience. By using analytics cookies, we can track trends over time, test new features, and identify areas where visitors may be experiencing difficulties. This helps us refine our services and make sure the website performs smoothly on different devices and browsers.
Marketing and Personalisation Cookies
Marketing cookies are used to deliver content that is more relevant to your interests. They may be set by Gardeners Swiss Cottage or by carefully selected partners that provide advertising or social media services. These cookies can remember that you have visited our website and may be used to show you tailored content or promotions on other websites. They also help us measure the effectiveness of our marketing activities by tracking interactions with our content.
Personalisation cookies may be used to remember your preferences, such as language settings, location, or previously viewed pages, so that we can provide a more customised experience each time you visit.

When you first visit the Gardeners Swiss Cottage website, you may be presented with a notice explaining our use of cookies and providing options to manage your preferences. You can usually modify your cookie settings at any time through your browser settings.

Please note that if you choose to block or delete cookies, some features of the website may not function as intended, particularly those that rely on essential cookies.
Retention of Cookie Data
Cookies may remain on your device for different lengths of time. Some are session cookies, which are deleted when you close your browser, and others are persistent cookies, which stay on your device until they expire or are deleted. We use a combination of session and persistent cookies to operate our website effectively and to support ongoing performance monitoring.
Updates 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 changes will be posted on this page, and the revised policy will apply from the date it is published.
