Rubbish Collection Croydon Cookie Policy

This Cookie Policy explains how Rubbish Collection Croydon 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 in relation to these technologies.

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 Cookie Policy. You can change your cookie preferences at any time through your browser settings.

What Are Cookies

Cookies are small text files that are stored on your computer, tablet or mobile device when you visit a website. They allow the website to recognise your device and store certain information about your preferences or previous actions. Some cookies are deleted when you close your browser, while others remain on your device for a set period or until you delete them.

We use both first party cookies, which are set by our website, and third party cookies, which are set by external service providers that help us operate and improve our site.

Types of Cookies We Use

We group the cookies we use into three main categories: essential cookies, analytics cookies and marketing cookies. Each type supports a different function and purpose on our website.

Essential Cookies

Essential cookies are necessary for the basic operation of our website and for providing the services you request. Without these cookies, parts of the site may not work correctly.

These cookies enable core features such as page navigation, secure areas, online forms and basic functionality required to deliver our rubbish collection and waste disposal information. They do not gather information that can be used for marketing or to remember where you have been on the internet.

Analytics Cookies

Analytics cookies help us understand how visitors use our website so we can measure and improve performance. They collect information such as which pages are visited most often, how long visitors stay on a page, and whether users encounter errors.

The data collected by analytics cookies is aggregated and does not directly identify you. We use this information to monitor the performance of our website, identify popular services, detect technical problems and make improvements that make it easier for you to find information about rubbish collection in Croydon.

Marketing Cookies

Marketing cookies are used to deliver content and advertising that is more relevant to your interests. They may be set through our site by third party advertising partners who help us promote our services.

These cookies can be used to build a profile of your interests based on your browsing activity on our site and other sites. The information from marketing cookies helps us show you more tailored messages about our waste collection services and related local information. If you do not allow these cookies, you may see less targeted advertising.

Performance Monitoring and Service Improvement

One of the key purposes of using cookies, particularly analytics cookies, is to monitor the performance of our website and services. By analysing how visitors use the site, we can understand which pages are useful, where users may be experiencing difficulties, and how quickly pages load.

This performance monitoring allows us to improve the structure, content and navigation of our website, so that residents and businesses in Croydon can access rubbish collection information more efficiently. It also helps us ensure that our site remains reliable, secure and responsive during busy periods.

User Control and Cookie Management

You have several options to control how cookies are used on your device. Most web browsers automatically accept cookies, but you can usually change your browser settings to refuse cookies, delete existing cookies or be notified before a cookie is placed on your device.

If you choose to block or delete certain cookies, some features of our website may not function as intended. Essential cookies are required for core functions, and disabling them may affect your ability to access secure areas or use certain tools.

You can typically manage cookies by using the settings or preferences menu in your browser. Each browser is different, so please refer to the help section of your browser to learn how to adjust your cookie preferences.

Changes To This Cookie Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in the cookies we use, legal requirements or improvements to our services. Any changes will take effect when we publish the revised policy on our website.

We encourage you to review this Cookie Policy periodically so that you remain informed about how we use cookies and how you can manage your preferences.
