We use three main cookie categories to support site operation and user experience. These are listed below and described so you can make informed choices:

How the Notting Hill Gardeners site uses cookies

Cookies permit our services to remember information about your visit so that the site operates as intended. Essential cookies keep transactional and security functions working, while analytics cookies support performance monitoring to track load times, error rates, and general responsiveness across pages used by Gardeners Notting Hill and related gardening services.

Performance monitoring and analytics: we use analytics cookies to collect technical metrics such as page load duration, resource timing, JavaScript errors, and navigation patterns. This aggregated information helps our team, including gardeners in Notting Hill, to pinpoint slow pages, reduce latency, and improve the overall site performance for visitors. The collected analytics do not identify you personally and are processed in compliance with applicable privacy expectations.

Marketing cookies are provided by third parties to present relevant promotional content and to measure advertising reach. If you prefer not to receive personalized adverts, you can disable these cookies as detailed below. Marketing and analytics cookies may come from services used by Notting Hill gardeners to understand outreach effectiveness, but they do not change essential site functions.

You have choices about how cookies are used on your devices. Most browsers allow you to block or delete cookies through settings. Gardeners Notting Hill encourages you to review browser preferences, where you can clear stored cookies or set rules for future cookie behavior. Blocking essential cookies, however, may affect the usability of some parts of the service.

Retention and updates: cookie lifespans vary by type. Essential cookies are often session-based and expire when you close your browser.
