This Cookie Policy explains how Gardeners Petersham 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 options available to you to manage or disable cookies through your browser settings.

By continuing to use our website after being presented with a cookie notice, you agree that cookies may be placed on your device as described in this policy. You can withdraw or modify your consent at any time by adjusting your browser controls.

What Are Cookies

Cookies are small text files that are stored on your device when you visit a website. They allow the website to recognise your device and store certain information about your preferences or actions. Cookies can improve your browsing experience by remembering choices you make and helping us understand how visitors use our site.

Some cookies are set directly by Gardeners Petersham, while others may be set by third parties that provide services on our behalf, such as analytics or marketing providers.

Types of Cookies We Use

Essential Cookies

Essential cookies are necessary for the basic operation of our website. Without these cookies, certain services and features would not function correctly. They help with core activities such as page navigation, access to secure areas, and maintaining your preferences within a single browsing session.

These cookies do not store personally identifiable information and are usually set in response to actions made by you, such as filling in forms or adjusting privacy settings. Because they are required for the website to function, essential cookies cannot be disabled through our site and are generally only controllable via your browser settings.

Analytics Cookies

Analytics cookies help us understand how visitors use the Gardeners Petersham website. They collect information such as which pages are visited most often, how long visitors stay on each page, and how users arrive at our site. We use this information in an aggregated form to analyse trends and improve the design, content, and usability of our website.

These cookies support performance monitoring by allowing us to identify technical issues, measure page load times, and evaluate how new features are performing. Analytics cookies are optional, and you may choose to disable them through your browser if you prefer not to be tracked in this way.

Marketing Cookies

Marketing cookies are used to tailor content and advertising to be more relevant to your interests. They may be set through our site by third-party partners that provide advertising or social media services. These cookies help to limit the number of times you see an advertisement and measure the effectiveness of campaigns.

Marketing cookies may track your browsing activity across different websites. If you do not allow these cookies, you may still see advertisements, but they will be less targeted to your interests.

Performance Monitoring and Improvement

Gardeners Petersham uses cookies to monitor the technical performance and reliability of our website. By analysing cookie data, we can detect errors, identify slow pages, and ensure that the site functions smoothly across different devices and browsers.

This performance monitoring enables us to maintain a high-quality user experience, optimise page speed, and refine our content. The information collected for this purpose is typically aggregated and not used to identify individual users.

Your Cookie Choices and Control

You have control over how cookies are used on your device. Most web browsers allow you to manage cookies through their settings, including blocking certain types of cookies or deleting existing ones. You can usually find these controls in the privacy or security sections of your browser settings.

Be aware that disabling certain cookies, especially essential cookies, may affect the functionality of the Gardeners Petersham website and limit your ability to use some features. If you choose to delete cookies, any preferences previously stored will not be remembered on your next visit.

Changes to This Cookie Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in technology, legal requirements, or how we operate our website. Any updates will be posted on this page with a revised effective date. We encourage you to review this policy periodically to stay informed about our use of cookies and your choices.

Your continued use of the Gardeners Petersham website after changes are published will signify your acceptance of the updated Cookie Policy.
