Gardener Eltham values your privacy and aims to be transparent about the cookies we and our partners use. This policy explains what cookies are, why we use them on our Eltham gardener pages, and the choices available to you. Cookies help deliver a reliable, personalised experience when interacting with our gardening services in Eltham and allow us to monitor site performance.
What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files stored on your device that collect information about how you use our services. As an Eltham gardening specialist, we rely on cookies to remember preferences, measure visits, and tailor content. Essential technical cookies keep basic features working, while other types support analysis and marketing.
The categories used by this policy are Essential, Analytics, and Marketing. Each category has a distinct role: essential cookies maintain functionality, analytics cookies measure how the site is used for performance monitoring, and marketing cookies support relevant third-party advertising. The following section explains each cookie type in detail.
Cookie categories and their purpose
Essential cookies: These are required for the basic operation of our Eltham gardening site. They enable core features such as session management, language selection, and security checks. Without these cookies, some parts of the site would not function properly.
Analytics cookies: Analytics cookies help us understand how visitors use our gardening services in Eltham. They support performance monitoring by collecting aggregated data on page visits, load times, and navigation paths so we can improve site speed, reliability, and user experience.
Marketing cookies: Marketing cookies are used to deliver more relevant messages about our Eltham garden care and landscaping offerings. These cookies may be set by advertising partners to measure the effectiveness of campaigns and to serve ads that align with your interests. We do not use these to personally identify you.
How we use performance monitoring
Performance monitoring through analytics cookies provides key insights such as load times, error rates, and user journeys. This data allows us to prioritise improvements for the benefit of all users engaging with an Eltham gardener or exploring our gardening service options. Performance metrics are treated in aggregate, and any analysis is used to enhance speed and stability.
User control and choices
You can control and manage cookies in several ways. Most browsers let you block or delete cookies via settings; however, blocking essential cookies may limit your ability to use certain features. For analytics and marketing cookies, you can opt out of tracking through your browser or via recognised opt-out tools provided by third parties. If you choose to block cookies, the site may still function but with reduced personalization and performance.
Retention and third-party cookies: Some cookies remain for a single session and are deleted when you close your browser, while others persist for months to remember choices between visits. We may also allow third-party providers to set cookies to deliver analytics and advertising services. These third parties operate under their own policies; we recommend reviewing those policies for additional detail.
Changes to this policy — We may update this cookie policy to reflect technical or legal changes. When significant updates occur, we will revise this statement so visitors understand how cookies relate to the delivery of Eltham gardening content and services.
