Gardening Parsons Green is committed to protecting your privacy while delivering a useful online experience. This Cookie Policy explains what cookies and similar technologies are used, why they are used, and how you can control them.

What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They store information that helps sites remember preferences and measure how a site is used. In the context of Parsons Green gardening, cookies help the site remember settings such as language or display options and allow us to collect aggregate data about how visitors access gardening content.
Types of cookies we use
We use several categories of cookies to support our services. Below is an overview of the cookie types used by Gardening at Parsons Green and the purpose of each type:
- Essential cookies — These are necessary for the site to function properly. They enable core features like secure browsing, session management, and access to restricted areas. Without essential cookies, the site may not operate correctly or provide a smooth gardening content experience.
- Analytics cookies — Also called performance cookies, these collect information about how visitors use the site. This includes which pages are most visited, how long visitors stay, and page load times. Analytics cookies support performance monitoring, helping us improve speed and content relevance for Parsons Green gardening audiences.
- Marketing cookies — These cookies track visitors across sites to display personalized content that may be relevant to gardening interests. They are not required for basic site function but help tailor visual material and promotional content to user preferences.
Purpose for performance monitoring: Performance and analytics cookies are used to measure and enhance the speed, reliability, and usefulness of pages and tools. For example, performance monitoring helps identify slow-loading sections of a plant care article or a gallery of Parsons Green garden images. Data collected is aggregated and anonymized, used only to diagnose issues and refine content presentation, not to identify individual users. These cookies are essential in ensuring a responsive, user-friendly resource for gardeners.
How we use data collected by cookies: we analyze trends, administer the site, track users’ movement around the site, and gather demographic information about our user base. Parsons Green gardening analytics help prioritize improvements — such as making plant care articles clearer or optimizing mobile layouts for visitors checking tips while working outdoors.
