Gardener Blackwall and related names take your privacy seriously. This cookie policy explains how the Gardener-Blackwall service uses small data files called cookies when you access pages, how we categorize cookies and what control you have. This policy describes the types of cookies used, their purposes and your choices for managing them.
Types of cookies we use
Cookies are grouped into categories so you can understand why they are set. The main cookie classifications used by Gardener Blackwall include: essential cookies that enable basic functions, analytics cookies that measure performance, and marketing cookies that support personalized promotions. These categories help you decide which cookies you allow.
Essential cookies are necessary for secure operation and basic functionality such as session management and accessibility preferences. Without these, the core features you expect from Gardener Blackwall may not work. Essential cookies do not track your browsing for advertising purposes and are usually set in response to your explicit actions.
Below is a concise list of cookie types used across the Gardener Blackwall platform:
- Essential: security, login state, and load balancing.
- Analytics: performance metrics and visit statistics.
- Marketing: advertising identifiers and interest-based profiles.
Analytics and performance monitoring
Analytics cookies collect information about how visitors use our services so we can track and improve performance. The primary purpose of performance monitoring is to measure page load times, identify errors, and understand which features are most used. That helps Gardener Blackwall optimize speed and reliability and prioritize fixes where they matter most.User control is central to our approach. You can manage cookies through your browser settings, choose preferences via cookie banners where offered, or use opt-out choices available for some analytics and marketing cookies. Please note that disabling certain cookies may affect how features behave.
We use analytics cookies to gather aggregated, non-identifying information such as number of visits, pages viewed, and time spent on specific pages. Performance monitoring data is used to generate reports, monitor uptime and diagnose technical issues without tying metrics to personally identifiable information. These insights enable the Gardener Blackwall team to make evidence-based improvements.
Marketing cookies may be used to deliver relevant content and offers, and to measure the effectiveness of campaigns. Marketing cookies can be set by third-party advertising partners; opting out where possible limits targeted advertising but does not remove all ads. These cookies are not necessary for basic operation and require your consent where applicable.
How long we keep cookies varies: session cookies expire when you close your browser, while persistent cookies remain for a set period to retain settings or recognize returning devices. Retention periods are defined by the purpose of the cookie and whether it is first- or third-party.
Your choices — You can:
- Use browser controls to block or delete cookies;
- Change consent settings via cookie banners;
- Use privacy tools to limit tracking.
Data minimization and security are applied where cookies are used. We adopt measures to limit access to cookie data and to avoid storing unnecessary personal details in cookie values. When analytics data is combined for monitoring, it is kept aggregated to reduce privacy risks.
Policy updates — We may revise this cookie policy to reflect changes in technology or regulation. By continuing to use Gardener Blackwall services you agree to the cookie practices described, subject to the options and controls outlined above. Please review cookie settings periodically to ensure they reflect your preferences.
