Types of Cookies We Use

Essential Cookies

Essential cookies are necessary for the basic operation of the Gardeners Eden Park website. They enable core functions such as page navigation, secure access to areas of the site, and proper display of content. Without these cookies, the website may not function correctly, and some services you request cannot be provided. Because they are strictly required for the operation of the site, you cannot disable essential cookies through our on site tools, although you may be able to block them through your browser settings. Doing so may affect the performance and usability of the website.

Analytics and Performance Cookies

Analytics cookies help us understand how visitors use the Gardeners Eden Park website. These cookies collect information such as which pages are visited, how long users stay on each page, which features are used, and any error messages encountered. The data gathered is aggregated and does not directly identify individual visitors. We use analytics cookies to monitor and improve the performance of our website, to ensure it remains fast, reliable, and relevant to our visitors. Performance monitoring through these cookies allows us to identify popular content, detect technical issues, and make data driven improvements to the user experience.

Marketing cookies are used to deliver content and communications that are more relevant to your interests. They may be set by Gardeners Eden Park or by carefully selected partners that support our promotional activities. These cookies can remember that you have visited our site, and this information may be used to tailor advertising messages, measure the effectiveness of campaigns, or personalise certain content you see on our website. While these cookies can enhance your experience by showing information that is more closely aligned with your interests, the site will still function if you choose to decline them.

Gardeners Eden Park uses cookies and similar technologies to monitor and optimise the performance of our website. Performance monitoring includes tracking site speed, page load times, responsiveness on different devices, and the overall stability of our services. By analysing this information, we can identify when pages are slow or failing to load properly, understand which features require improvement, and plan upgrades that make the site easier and more enjoyable to use. This performance data is processed in an aggregated form and is not used to make decisions about individual visitors.
