Cookies are small text files that are stored on your browser or device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites function properly, to improve user experience, and to provide information to website owners about how their site is used.

Types of cookies we use

We use several categories of cookies on the Waste Collection Docklands website. Some are essential for the operation of our services, while others help us understand how visitors use our site or support our marketing activities.

Essential cookies

Essential cookies are necessary for the basic operation of the website and for you to be able to use its core features. Without these cookies, services you request cannot be provided correctly. These cookies are typically set in response to actions you take, such as submitting forms, adjusting your privacy preferences, or navigating between pages.

We use essential cookies to remember your cookie choices, maintain secure sessions, and ensure that pages load correctly. Because they are required for the functioning of the site, you cannot disable essential cookies using our on site controls, although you may be able to block them in your browser settings. Doing so may cause parts of the site to stop working as intended.

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 whether any errors occur. The information gathered is aggregated and does not directly identify individual visitors.

We use analytics cookies to monitor the performance of our website, identify areas that may need improvement, and understand which content is most useful to our visitors. For example, we may use analytics data to see whether information about waste collection schedules is easy to find or whether visitors are abandoning certain pages. This performance monitoring enables us to improve navigation, reduce loading times, and provide a smoother experience for users.

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. These cookies can help us measure the effectiveness of marketing campaigns and understand how visitors move between our website and other online services.

Marketing cookies can be used to limit how often you see a particular advertisement and to help us tailor messages about our waste collection services to the needs of our audience. The information collected through marketing cookies may be combined with other non identifying data to build a profile of interests, but it is not used to directly identify individuals.

Performance monitoring and service improvements

An important purpose of using cookies on the Waste Collection Docklands website is performance monitoring. By using analytics and related technologies, we can observe how our site performs under real conditions, identify technical issues, and take steps to improve reliability and speed.

Performance monitoring data helps us ensure that key information, such as service areas, contact details, and booking options, remains accessible and responsive. It also allows us to analyse trends over time so we can adjust our content and services to meet the needs of our users more effectively.

Please note that if you choose to disable some or all cookies, certain features of the Waste Collection Docklands website may not function correctly, and your browsing experience may be affected.
