Types of Cookies Used by Gardeners Barnes
Essential Cookies
Essential cookies are required for the core operation of the Gardeners Barnes website. They enable functions such as page navigation, access to secure areas, and the correct display of content. Without these cookies, the website may not function properly. These cookies do not gather information for marketing purposes and are generally set in response to actions you take, such as setting your privacy preferences or filling in forms.
Analytics Cookies
Analytics cookies help us understand how visitors interact with the Gardeners Barnes website. They collect information such as which pages are visited, how long users stay on each page, and any technical issues that may occur. The information gathered is aggregated and does not directly identify individual users. We use these cookies to monitor website performance, measure the effectiveness of content, and identify areas for improvement. This performance monitoring helps us ensure that our website remains reliable, responsive, and useful for visitors.
