Gardener Seven Sisters Cookie Policy

Gardener Seven Sisters (also referred to as Gardener - Seven Sisters or Seven Sisters gardener) is committed to transparency about how cookies and similar technologies are used on our services. This cookie policy explains the types of cookies we use, their purpose, and how you can exercise control. Please read this policy carefully; it describes how information collected by cookies supports site functionality, performance monitoring, and relevant marketing activities.

What is a cookie? Cookies are small text files placed on your device by your web browser when you visit a website. They enable the site to remember your actions and preferences (such as language or region) over a period of time, so you don’t have to keep re-entering them whenever you come back to the site or browse from one page to another.

Scope and applicability

This cookies notice applies to tracking performed on pages and services maintained by Gardener Seven Sisters. It covers first-party cookies set by our domain and third-party cookies set by partners. We use cookies to support necessary site functions, to collect analytics for performance monitoring, and to deliver marketing content where permitted.

Types of cookies we use

Essential cookies: These are required for the website to function properly. They enable basic features like page navigation, secure areas, and form processing. Without these cookies, the site may not operate correctly.
Analytics cookies: Used to collect information about how visitors use the site. These cookies help us measure performance, monitor page load times, and understand which parts of the site are most used so we can improve overall user experience.
Marketing cookies: Used to track visitors across websites to present ads that are relevant and engaging. These cookies remember that you have visited a site and may share that information with other organizations such as advertisers.

Purpose: performance monitoring and optimization

Performance monitoring is a key reason we deploy analytics cookies. By capturing anonymous usage statistics—like page response times, error rates, and user navigation paths—we can pinpoint slow pages, optimize load order, and prioritize improvements. Monitoring tools help the Gardener - Seven Sisters team make data-driven decisions to enhance reliability, improve content delivery, and reduce latency for visitors across regions.

Analytics cookies do not typically store personal information. Instead, the data collected is aggregated and anonymized wherever possible. This allows us to track trends and patterns without identifying individual users, while still enabling detailed performance analysis and capacity planning.

User control and consent

Your control is important. You can manage cookie preferences in several ways:

Use the cookie preference tool displayed on initial visit to accept or decline non-essential cookies.
Adjust browser settings to block or delete cookies—consult your browser’s documentation for instructions.
Install browser extensions that limit tracking if you prefer stricter controls.

Note: Blocking cookies may affect site functionality; essential cookies cannot be disabled if you want to use certain services.

Third-party cookies and advertising

Gardener Seven Sisters uses third-party vendors for analytics and marketing. These partners may set their own cookies to collect anonymous usage data or to deliver targeted advertising. Third-party cookie behavior is governed by those providers’ policies. If you opt out through our cookie preferences, we will not permit third-party marketing cookies to be set for targeted advertising.

We review cookie use periodically and may update this policy. When material changes occur, we will reflect them in this policy and, where appropriate, request fresh consent.
