Cookies are small text files placed on your device by your browser when you visit sites like Gardeners in Enfield. They perform a range of tasks from enabling sign-in and preserving preferences to measuring performance. We use a combination of first-party and third-party cookies delivered by trusted providers to support these functions and to monitor the effectiveness of our pages and resources.
The types of cookies we use include essential, analytics and marketing cookies. Essential cookies are necessary for secure operation. Analytics cookies help with performance monitoring and reporting, allowing us to measure visits, page views, and page load times so we can improve speed and reliability. Marketing cookies are used to deliver targeted content and advertising where applicable. Key cookie categories are listed below in brief:
Essential cookies
Essential cookies are used to enable critical features such as account authentication, form submissions, and security controls. Without these, the site functions would be limited or unavailable. Examples include session identifiers and preferences that maintain your language or consent choices while you navigate content provided by Gardeners-Enfield.
Analytics and performance monitoring: these cookies aggregate anonymous data about visits, page timing, bounce rates, and interaction patterns. They support our goal of performance monitoring by revealing slow pages, broken links, and barriers to content access. Analytics cookies are not intended to identify individual visitors — rather they inform improvement of site speed and content relevance for all Enfield Gardeners users.
Marketing cookies may be used to display relevant offers and information to users based on interests inferred from browsing activity. These are typically placed by third parties. If marketing cookies are enabled, you may receive tailored content but you can opt out of targeted advertising if you prefer not to be profiled for promotional purposes.
How to control cookies: you can manage cookie preferences through your browser or device settings and by using available preference tools on the site. For clarity, here are common options you can take:
- Accept all cookies to allow full functionality and improved performance analytics.
- Reject non-essential cookies to limit tracking and targeted content.
- Clear cookies from your browser to reset preferences and stored data.
Retention, third-party cookies and changes: cookie durations vary — some expire at the end of your browsing session while others remain for weeks or months to remember preferences. Third-party cookies may be set by external analytics or advertising partners; those parties have their own policies and opt-out mechanisms. We may update this cookie policy from time to time to reflect changes in services or legal requirements. When we change the policy, we will post the revised version on the site and update the effective date so Gardeners of Enfield users know when changes take effect. Please review periodically to stay informed about how cookies support site performance and functionality.
