Waste Collection Greenwich Cookie Policy

This Cookie Policy explains how Waste Collection Greenwich 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 to the use of cookies 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 enable the website to recognise your device, remember your preferences, and help us understand how visitors use our services. Some cookies are necessary for our website to function, while others help us improve performance and support our marketing activities.

Types of Cookies We Use

Essential Cookies

Essential cookies are required for the basic operation and security of our website. Without these cookies, the site may not function properly. They allow you to navigate pages, use forms, and access secure areas. These cookies do not collect information that could be used for marketing or to remember where you have been on the internet. Because they are strictly necessary, you cannot disable essential cookies through our website controls, although you may be able to block them via your browser settings. Doing so may affect the functionality and stability of the site.

Analytics Cookies

Analytics cookies help us understand how visitors interact with our website. They collect information such as which pages are visited, how long users stay on each page, and any error messages encountered. This information is aggregated and does not identify individual users. We use analytics cookies to monitor website performance, identify areas where the site can be improved, and ensure that our content is relevant and easy to access. By analysing this data, we can optimise loading speeds, navigation paths, and overall user experience.

Marketing Cookies

Marketing cookies are used to deliver content and advertisements that are more relevant to your interests. They may be set by us or by third parties that provide marketing services on our behalf. These cookies can help measure the effectiveness of advertising campaigns, limit the number of times you see an advert, and tailor messages based on how you use our website. Information collected through marketing cookies may be combined with other data to build a profile of your interests. You can choose to disable marketing cookies if you prefer not to receive tailored advertising.

How We Use Cookies for Performance Monitoring

We use cookies to monitor the technical performance and reliability of our website. This includes measuring page load times, tracking site availability, and identifying any technical issues that might affect your experience. Performance monitoring cookies allow us to test new features, ensure that the site works correctly across different devices and browsers, and maintain a stable and secure online service. Data collected is used in an aggregated form, helping us make informed decisions about upgrades, design changes, and content improvements.

User Control and Cookie Management

You have control over how cookies are used on your device. When you first visit our website, you may be presented with a cookie notice that allows you to accept or manage non-essential cookies, such as analytics and marketing cookies. You can change your cookie preferences at any time using your browser settings. Most web browsers allow you to view, delete, or block cookies, and to set rules for how cookies are handled. Please note that disabling certain cookies, particularly essential or performance-related cookies, may affect the way our website functions and could reduce the quality of your user experience.

Changes to This Cookie Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in technology, legal requirements, or how we operate our website. Any updates will be posted on this page with a revised date. We encourage you to review this policy periodically so that you remain informed about how we use cookies at Waste Collection Greenwich and how you can manage your preferences.
