Cookie Policy for Gardener Charlton
Gardener Charlton provides this cookie policy to explain how cookies and similar technologies are used. This policy covers the roles of essential cookies, analytics and marketing cookies and describes how the gardener charlton team uses them to ensure site functionality and to help improve performance over time. Read this policy to understand your options.We use a limited set of cookies to operate services reliably and securely. These cookies are grouped by purpose so you can make informed choices. This policy applies to all visitors interacting with content associated with Gardener Charlton and related services. It does not include any third-party services not controlled by Gardener Charlton, though those services may also set cookies when you interact with embedded features.
Types of cookies we use
Cookies fall into three main groups:- Essential cookies — required for basic site operation and security;
- Analytics cookies — used for performance monitoring and to analyze site use;
- Marketing cookies — used to deliver relevant ads and measure campaign effectiveness.
Essential cookies ensure you can access secure areas, retain selections, and complete transactions. Without these, core functions such as session management, language preferences, and security checks may fail. Essential cookies do not track browsing across sites. For clarity, when we refer to "gardener charlton" or "Gardener C. Charlton" within this policy, we mean the organization operating the service and the technical systems that support it.
Performance monitoring and analytics
Analytics cookies help with performance monitoring by collecting aggregated and anonymized information about how visitors use pages and features. These cookies allow us to measure page load times, identify errors, and determine which content is most useful. The resulting insights drive improvements to speed, reliability, and overall experience for the Gardener Charlton community. Performance monitoring is focused on service quality, not on building individual profiles.Marketing cookies enable advertisers to present relevant content across multiple visits and devices. These may be used to estimate campaign reach and to avoid showing repetitive ads. Gardener Charlton limits marketing cookies to partners who adhere to privacy standards. If third-party marketing cookies are present, they will be disclosed and their purposes explained within this policy.
User control over cookies is important.
Managing your cookie preferences
You can accept or reject non-essential cookies at any time. Most browsers provide settings to delete cookies, block new cookies, or notify you when a cookie is set. Changing your settings may affect how some features behave. For those who prefer, opt-out mechanisms provided by analytics or advertising partners may also be used.
To change cookie settings: review your browser privacy or preferences panel, clear cookies for a specific service, or use available opt-out links. For mobile devices, cookie controls are typically found in the app or browser settings. Note: disabling analytics or marketing cookies will not prevent essential cookies from functioning, since those are required to maintain site security and basic operation.
Retention and updates: cookies have different lifespans, from session only to several years depending on purpose. Gardener Charlton periodically reviews cookie use and may update this policy to reflect new tools or compliance requirements. Gardener Charlton encourages visitors to check this policy regularly. By continuing to use services after changes are posted, you accept the updated cookie practices.
