Super Gardener Cookie Policy

Welcome to the Super Gardener Cookie Policy. This cookie notice explains how Super Gardener (also presented as Super-Gardener and supergardener in some places) uses small data files called cookies to improve your experience. It describes cookie categories, what they do, and how you can control or limit them. Reading this SuperGardener cookie policy will help you make informed choices about personalisation and site performance monitoring.

What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files stored on your device that track preferences and site usage. The Super Gardener cookies help remember settings, analyse site speed, and deliver relevant content. They are not used to collect sensitive personal information. The purpose is to improve functionality and measure how well the site performs for visitors, including gardeners, professionals, and hobbyists who visit the supergardener pages.

Cookie categories: Below are the main cookie types we use. These categories explain the role each cookie plays for the Super Gardener service and why they matter.

• Essential cookies — necessary for basic site operation. These cookies enable core features like secure access, session management, and language selection.
• Analytics cookies — used for performance monitoring and site improvement. Analytics data helps Super-Gardener measure load times, identify slow pages, and see how visitors move through pages.
• Marketing cookies — support targeted content and advertising. These cookies may come from third-party providers and are used to deliver relevant promotional content.

Essential cookies (required)

Essential cookies are mandatory for the site to function. Without them, basic services would fail. For example, they preserve your session while you navigate and keep secure form submissions working. The Super Gardener essential cookies do not collect information used for marketing and are retained only as long as necessary for the session or a short persistent period.

Analytics and performance monitoring

Analytics cookies enable performance monitoring so we can understand and improve system reliability. These cookies collect anonymous information such as page load times, error rates, and resource usage. The purpose for performance monitoring is to spot slow-loading pages, optimise images and scripts, and prioritise fixes that enhance site speed for all visitors to Super Gardener services. Performance metrics may include time to first byte, time to interactive, and aggregate session length. This is about improving experience, not identifying individuals.

Marketing cookies track visitor behaviour across sites to provide more relevant content and advertising. They may be set by third-party partners. If you decline marketing cookies, you may still see generic ads, but these will be less tailored. Super Gardener respects your choices and limits marketing activity accordingly, and we do not sell personal data for advertising.

How you control cookies — You can manage cookie preferences using browser settings or privacy controls. Most browsers allow you to disable cookies, clear existing cookies, and set rules for individual sites. Additionally, some analytics and marketing services offer opt-out tools. If you block analytics cookies, performance monitoring data will be reduced and it may be harder for Super-Gardener teams to detect and fix problems quickly.

Retention and changes — Cookies vary in lifespan: session cookies expire when you close your browser; persistent cookies remain for a defined period. We review cookie use regularly and may update this policy. If we change cookie practices, we will update this policy and, where required, seek fresh consent. By continuing to use the service without changing your settings, you accept the current cookie usage.

Summary of rights

You have the right to manage cookies at any time. Use your browser settings, clear cookies, or use provided opt-out mechanisms from analytics and marketing providers. Super Gardener provides these options to ensure that users can choose the level of tracking they are comfortable with.

Final notes

This cookie policy for Super Gardener is intended to be clear and practical. It explains essential, analytics, and marketing cookies and emphasises the purpose for performance monitoring and site improvements. Strong privacy practices and transparent controls help protect users while allowing the supergardener platform to operate efficiently.

Changes to this cookie policy — We may revise this policy from time to time. Continued use of the site after updates indicates acceptance of any changes. Please review cookie settings periodically to ensure they match your preferences.
