What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files stored on your device that help websites recognise returning visitors and remember preferences. Cookies do not typically store personal details unless you provide them in site forms.

Cookie types we use
Below is a summary of the cookie categories used by Gardeners Lewisham:
- Essential cookies – required to provide basic site functionality, session management and secure areas. Without these, key parts of the site will not operate.
- Analytics cookies – used to collect aggregated data about how visitors use pages and which pages attract interest. These help us refine the presentation of information about Lewisham gardening services and evaluate performance monitoring.
- Marketing cookies – designed to track visitors across sites to deliver relevant promotional content and measure campaign success.
We use analytics to carry out performance monitoring so we can see which pages about Lewisham gardeners load quickly and which need improvement. This ensures the user experience is smooth when searching for gardeners in Lewisham.
How long cookies remain varies: session cookies expire when you close your browser, while persistent cookies remain for a set period depending on their purpose. Essential cookies are typically short-lived and focused on functionality, whereas analytics and marketing cookies may persist longer to support trend analysis and campaign measurement.
To support transparent use, here are the main purposes of performance monitoring: to measure page load times, identify slow-loading resources, assess feature usage and compare how different pages about Gardeners Lewisham attract attention. These insights let us prioritise improvements that help people find reliable Lewisham gardening services more effectively.
When analytics cookies are active we collect aggregated and anonymised metrics, not detailed personal profiles. This helps us understand traffic patterns without tying data to an identifiable individual.
User control and choices are important. You can manage or block cookies via your browser settings or by using any cookie preference controls presented on the site. Blocking certain cookies may limit access to specific features related to gardeners in Lewisham and reduce the usefulness of tailored content.

Some third-party services (for example analytics platforms and advertising partners) may set their own cookies when you view content related to Lewisham gardeners. We do not control those cookies, but we only work with providers who commit to privacy standards and lawful processing.
