What are cookies and why we use them
Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a page about Gardening Barbican. They allow us to remember preferences, maintain sessions, and run analytics. Some cookies are strictly necessary to deliver basic functionality, while others help us improve speed and monitor performance. In this policy we explain essential, analytics and marketing cookies and the purpose behind performance monitoring.
Below is a concise list of cookie categories used across our Barbican gardening pages:

Performance monitoring and analytics purpose
Analytics and performance cookies are deployed to collect anonymous metrics about page speed, resource usage and user flows through our Gardening Barbican resources. Performance monitoring helps us identify slow pages, broken links and content that can be optimized. We use aggregated data to reduce page load times, improve image delivery and enhance the overall user experience without storing personal details.
When performance cookies are active, we may record metrics such as page load time, server response, time on page and error rates. These measures are used solely for service improvement and operational stability, not to create personal profiles.

Third-party cookies: Some tools we use for analytics or marketing are provided by third parties. These partners may set their own cookies and have separate policies. We select reputable providers and strive to limit data to non-identifiable performance metrics whenever possible.
