Types of cookies we use

The cookies we use fall into three primary groups. Below is a concise summary and examples of how each group helps the Brompton gardeners community.

Essential cookies

Essential cookies are required for the site to function. These necessary cookies enable core features such as page navigation, secure areas, and session integrity. Without them, parts of the site would not work correctly. We classify these as strictly necessary for the service.

Analytics & performance cookies

Analytics cookies collect anonymised data to help us understand how visitors use the site. These are used for performance monitoring, load times, and identifying errors so we can improve speed and reliability for Brompton gardeners and visitors. Examples include tools that measure pageviews, bounce rates, and event timings—information used to optimise our content and technical setup.

Marketing cookies

Marketing cookies support personalised content and promotional materials. They may be used to deliver tailored content about gardening events, seasonal tips, and relevant gardening resources. These cookies may come from third-party partners and are only used where consent is given, helping us make communications more relevant to the Brompton gardening audience.

To summarise cookie types in list form:

• Essential: session, authentication, security-related cookies.
