Waste Collection Hammersmith Cookie Practices

This Cookie Policy explains how Waste Collection Hammersmith uses cookies and similar technologies on our website. It describes the types of cookies we use, the purposes for which we use them, and the choices you have regarding their use. By continuing to browse our website after seeing a cookie notice, you agree that cookies may be placed on your device as described in this policy.

What Are Cookies

Cookies are small text files that are stored on your computer, tablet, or mobile device when you visit a website. They help the website recognise your device and remember certain information about your visit. Cookies can be session cookies, which are deleted when you close your browser, or persistent cookies, which remain on your device for a set period or until you delete them.

Why We Use Cookies

We use cookies to ensure our website functions properly, to understand how visitors use our pages, and to support our marketing and service improvement activities. Cookies enable us to remember your preferences, measure website performance, and provide content and information that is more relevant to your interests.

Types of Cookies We Use

Essential Cookies

Essential cookies are necessary for the basic operation of our website. Without these cookies, the site may not function correctly and some features may not be available. These cookies are typically set in response to actions you take, such as completing forms, adjusting privacy preferences, or navigating between pages.

We use essential cookies to enable core functions such as page navigation, secure browsing, access to protected areas, and the correct display of content on different devices. Because these cookies are strictly required for the website to work, they cannot usually be switched off via our systems. However, you can configure your browser to block or alert you about these cookies, though some parts of the site may then not function properly.

Analytics Cookies

Analytics cookies help us understand how visitors interact with our website so we can improve performance and user experience. These cookies collect information in an aggregated form, such as which pages are visited most frequently, how visitors move around the site, and if they encounter error messages.

We use analytics cookies to monitor website performance, measure the effectiveness of content, and identify areas that may require adjustments or improvements. The data gathered helps us ensure that our website is fast, reliable, and easy to use. Analytics cookies do not directly identify individual visitors, and we use the information solely for statistical and service enhancement purposes.

Marketing Cookies

Marketing cookies are used to deliver content and advertising that is more relevant to you and your interests. They may be set by us or by our advertising partners to build a profile of your interests based on your browsing behaviour on our site and, in some cases, on other websites.

These cookies help us measure the effectiveness of marketing campaigns and understand which services or information are of most interest to our visitors. If you do not allow these cookies, you may still see advertising, but it will be less tailored to your likely interests.

Performance Monitoring and Service Improvement

We use a combination of essential and analytics cookies to monitor the performance of our website. This includes tracking page load times, identifying technical issues, understanding how visitors arrive at our pages, and reviewing how features are used. The information obtained is used to maintain site reliability, improve navigation, optimise content, and support informed decisions about future enhancements to our waste collection services.

User Control Over Cookies

You have the right to decide whether to accept or reject non essential cookies. When you first visit our website, you may be presented with a notice explaining our use of cookies and options to manage your choices. You can change your cookie preferences at any time by adjusting your browser settings to block or delete cookies.

Most web browsers allow you to control cookies through their settings, including refusing some or all cookies or receiving alerts when websites set cookies. Please note that disabling certain cookies may affect the functionality and performance of our website and may limit your access to some features or services.

Changes to This Cookie Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in technology, law, or our practices. Any updates will be posted on this page with an amended revision date. We encourage you to review this policy periodically to stay informed about our use of cookies and related technologies.
