What are cookies? Cookies are small text files stored on your device that remember preferences and activity. The GardeningBow platform relies on them to deliver faster page loads, maintain sessions, and understand usage patterns so we can improve reliability and performance.

Essential cookies are necessary for the basic operation of the site. These cookies enable core functions such as security, session management, and access to restricted areas. Without essential cookies, some features of the gardening bow service would not work.

Analytics cookies collect information about how visitors use our site, which pages are most visited, and how visitors move through the site. These performance and analytics cookies are used strictly for performance monitoring, to diagnose issues, and to measure improvements in site speed and reliability. Analytics helps us spot patterns and optimize the user journey on Gardening Bow.

Marketing cookies are used to deliver content and offers that are relevant to your interests. They can track visitors across different sites to build a profile of interests and display more relevant promotions. These are not required for basic functionality and can be controlled by the user.

You have choices about cookies. Most modern browsers let you manage cookie settings and remove stored cookies. Adjusting browser settings can restrict the use of cookies, but disabling certain cookies may degrade your experience.
