Gardening Mottingham and associated Mottingham gardening services use cookies and similar tracking technologies to improve the experience of visitors to our site and to monitor site performance. This Cookie Policy explains the types of cookies we use, how Gardening Mottingham and Mottingham garden services process cookie data, and the choices you have to control cookies. It is intended for anyone accessing pages related to gardening in Mottingham and the wider Mottingham garden services.
Cookies we use
We classify cookies used with our Mottingham gardening content into three primary categories: essential, analytics and marketing. Each serves a distinct purpose and may be placed by us or by trusted third-party providers that support service features or performance monitoring.
Essential cookies are required for the basic operation of our gardening content and interactive tools. These cookies enable functions such as secure session management, cart or booking persistence for Mottingham garden services, and accessibility preferences. Non-essential cookies are optional and are only used with your consent.
Analytics cookies and performance monitoring
Analytics cookies collect information about how visitors interact with pages about Gardening Mottingham. This includes anonymous data on page visits, navigation paths, average load times and error rates. Performance monitoring is a core purpose of these analytics cookies: it helps us understand site speed, identify bottlenecks and prioritize technical improvements so that gardening in Mottingham pages load reliably.
Performance monitoring by analytics cookies measures technical metrics like time to first byte, page rendering delays and resource load failures. These metrics are aggregated and processed in a way that does not identify individual users, enabling us to optimize site performance without exposing personal details. Monitoring performance supports better page responsiveness, fewer interruptions during booking for Mottingham garden services, and improved content delivery.
Marketing cookies are used to deliver content tailored to interests indicated by browsing behavior. They may be set by third-party partners to present relevant offers or adverts related to gardening Mottingham events, seasonal services, or promotions. Such cookies can also measure the effectiveness of those campaigns.
User control and consent: you have several options to manage cookie usage. You can adjust preferences in a cookie banner, use browser settings to block or delete cookies, or employ opt-out tools provided by analytics and ad partners. Note that disabling certain cookies may affect functionality, particularly features that rely on essential cookies for session integrity and secure actions.
Common controls include:
- Consent banner — accept or decline categories of cookies when presented on first visit.
- Browser settings — block third-party cookies or clear stored cookies manually.
- Third-party opt-outs — use vendor tools to limit targeted advertising and analytics collection.
Retention and updates: cookie duration varies by type. Session cookies expire when you close your browser; persistent cookies remain for a period defined by the cookie owner. We periodically review and update this policy to reflect changes in technology or service needs. When substantial changes are made, we will indicate an updated date on the policy and, where required, request fresh consent for non-essential cookies. Gardening Mottingham encourages users to review their choices regularly and to revisit cookie settings if they have concerns about performance monitoring or targeted advertising.
