This Cookie Policy explains how Gardeners Bow 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 choices you have to control their use.

What Are Cookies

Cookies may be set directly by Gardeners Bow or by third parties that provide services to us, such as analytics or advertising partners.
Types of Cookies We Use
Essential Cookies
Essential cookies are necessary for the basic operation of the Gardeners Bow website. They enable core functions such as page navigation, secure access to certain areas, form submissions, and maintaining your selections across pages. Without these cookies, the website cannot function correctly. Because they are strictly necessary, these cookies are always active when you use our site and cannot be switched off via our cookie tools, although you may block them in your browser settings, which may affect site functionality.
Analytics and Performance Cookies
Analytics cookies help us understand how visitors interact with the Gardeners Bow website. They collect information such as which pages are visited most often, how long visitors stay on each page, and any error messages encountered. The data is aggregated and does not directly identify individual users. We use this information to monitor site performance, diagnose issues, and improve the structure, content, and usability of our website so that it better serves gardeners and other visitors.
Marketing and Personalisation Cookies
Marketing cookies are used to deliver content and messages that are more relevant to you and your interests. They may be set through our site by Gardeners Bow or by our advertising and social media partners. These cookies can help limit how often you see a particular advertisement, measure the effectiveness of campaigns, and tailor messages to your gardening preferences or previous interactions with our site. They may also enable sharing of content on social platforms. If you do not allow these cookies, you will still see general advertising, but it may be less relevant to you.
How We Use Cookies for Performance Monitoring
Gardeners Bow uses cookies to monitor the performance and stability of our website. Analytics and performance cookies allow us to track loading times, identify pages that may be causing delays, and understand how different devices and browsers experience the site. This information helps us maintain a reliable, responsive platform and supports continuous improvements to our digital services, including content about plants, garden design, and related resources.
Your Cookie Choices and Controls
You have control over how cookies are used when you visit Gardeners Bow. Most web browsers allow you to manage cookies through their settings, including blocking all cookies, blocking cookies from specific sites, or deleting cookies already stored on your device. Note that disabling certain cookies, particularly essential cookies, may affect your ability to use some parts of our website or reduce the quality of your experience.
Some areas of our site may provide on-page tools or settings that let you manage non-essential cookies, such as analytics and marketing cookies. Changes you make to these preferences will typically apply to future visits, but may not remove cookies that have already been placed, which you may need to delete through your browser.
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 the Gardeners Bow website. Any updates will be posted on this page with a revised effective date. We encourage you to review this policy periodically so that you remain informed about how we use cookies and the options available to you.
