Types of Cookies Used by Gardener Docklands

Our cookie categories include the following. Each category is used to support core operations and improve experience.

• Essential cookies – These are necessary for the site to operate. Essential cookies enable basic functions such as navigation, secure areas, and session management. Without essential cookies, parts of the service cannot function.

Purpose for Performance Monitoring

Performance monitoring is a critical reason we use analytics cookies. These cookies let us measure page load times, identify errors, and analyze visitor flows so we can optimize site speed and reliability. Performance monitoring cookies do not typically identify individual users; they collect statistical and aggregated data to improve functionality and user experience across the Docklands gardener environment.

Performance and analytics cookies support internal diagnostics and long-term planning. For example, they help us see which content is most used, which pages slow down, and where bottlenecks occur. This data informs technical improvements while preserving privacy through aggregation and anonymization where possible.

How we handle marketing cookies: marketing tags may be placed to measure campaign reach and match messages to likely interests. These may involve third-party ad networks and partners. We do not use marketing cookies to collect sensitive personal data.
