London Rubbish Website Cookie Policy

This Cookie Policy explains how London Rubbish uses cookies and similar technologies on our website. It describes the types of cookies we use, the purposes for which we use them, and how you can manage your cookie preferences. By continuing to use our website after seeing our cookie notice, you agree that we can place cookies on your device as described in this policy.

What Are Cookies

Cookies are small text files that are stored on your device when you visit a website. They help the website recognise your device and remember information about your visit, such as your preferences or actions. Some cookies are necessary for the website to function, while others support analytics, performance monitoring, and marketing activities.

Types of Cookies We Use

We use several categories of cookies on the London Rubbish website. These cookies may be set by us directly or by carefully selected third parties who provide services on our behalf.

Essential Cookies

Essential cookies are required for the basic operation of our website. Without these cookies, the site may not function properly, and you may not be able to use certain features. These cookies enable core functions such as page navigation, secure areas, form submissions, and cookie preference management. Because they are strictly necessary, they are always active when you use our website and cannot be switched off through our on site tools. You can still block them in your browser settings, but doing so may significantly affect how the site works.

Analytics and Performance Cookies

Analytics cookies help us understand how visitors use our website so we can improve its performance and user experience. These cookies collect information such as which pages are visited, how long users stay on each page, what links are clicked, and whether any errors occur. The data is aggregated and does not directly identify you, but it does give us valuable insight into how our services are used. We use this information to monitor website performance, measure the effectiveness of content, and identify areas where navigation or layout can be improved.

Performance monitoring is a key purpose of these cookies. They allow us to track load times, responsiveness, and overall site stability. By analysing this data, we can quickly address technical issues, optimise the site for different devices and browsers, and ensure that our booking forms and service information pages remain available and efficient.

Marketing and Advertising Cookies

Marketing cookies are used to deliver content and advertising that is more relevant to you and your interests. They may remember that you have visited our website and can help us present information about London Rubbish services that is likely to be of interest, such as rubbish clearance, recycling options, or special offers. These cookies may also limit how often you see a particular advertisement and help measure the effectiveness of our marketing campaigns. Some marketing cookies may be set by third party advertising partners who help us reach people who may be interested in our services.

How You Can Control Cookies

You can manage cookies in several ways. When you first visit our site, you may be presented with options that allow you to accept or reject certain categories of cookies, such as analytics or marketing cookies, while still allowing essential cookies.

In addition, most web browsers allow you to control cookies through their settings. You can choose to block all cookies, delete existing cookies, or configure the browser to alert you before a cookie is stored. The method for doing this varies by browser and device, so you should check the help section or settings menu of your browser for detailed instructions. Please note that if you block or delete cookies, some features of our website may not function as intended, and your user experience may be reduced.

Retention and Changes to This Policy

Cookies are stored for different periods, depending on their purpose. Some are session cookies that expire when you close your browser, while others are persistent cookies that remain on your device for a set period or until you remove them. We regularly review our use of cookies to ensure they remain appropriate and limited to what is necessary for our services and performance monitoring.

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in technology, legal requirements, or our services. Any updates will be posted on this page, and the revised policy will apply from the date it is published. We encourage you to review this page periodically to stay informed about how London Rubbish uses cookies and how you can manage your preferences.
