It describes what cookies are, the types of cookies we use, the purposes for which we use them, and the options you have to manage or disable cookies in your browser settings.

What Are Cookies

Cookies are small text files that are stored on your device when you access our website. They allow the website to recognise your device and remember information about your visit, such as your preferences, pages you have visited, and how you interact with our services. Cookies help us improve the performance and usability of our website and support the delivery of relevant content and services.

Types of Cookies We Use

We use several categories of cookies on the Waste Collection West Kensington website. Each category plays a specific role in supporting the smooth operation, measurement, and improvement of our services.

Essential Cookies

Essential cookies are necessary for the basic functioning of our website. Without these cookies, certain core features and security controls cannot operate correctly. These cookies enable actions such as navigating between pages, accessing secure areas of the site, and submitting forms. They also help maintain the integrity of your session and protect the site against misuse or security threats. Because they are required for the website to function, essential cookies cannot usually be disabled through our site, although you may still block them in your browser, which could affect how the website works.

Analytics Cookies

Analytics cookies collect information about how visitors use our website. This may include which pages are visited most often, how long visitors stay on a page, which features are used, and whether any errors occur. We use this anonymous or aggregated data to monitor performance, identify trends, and understand how our waste collection information and services are being accessed. This performance monitoring helps us improve page load times, enhance navigation, and make our content clearer and more relevant. Analytics cookies do not directly identify you but focus on overall usage patterns and technical performance.

Marketing Cookies

Marketing cookies are used to provide content and messages that may be more relevant to your interests. They can help us understand how you interact with our promotional materials, such as information about waste collection services in West Kensington, special service notices, or seasonal campaigns. These cookies may remember that you have visited our website and can be used to measure the effectiveness of marketing activities. Information collected through marketing cookies is typically combined with other data to build a clearer picture of how our services are being discovered and considered.

Purpose of Cookies for Performance Monitoring

A key purpose of using cookies on the Waste Collection West Kensington website is to monitor and improve performance. Through analytics and certain functional data, cookies help us measure page response times, identify technical issues, and track how users move through the site. This insight allows us to optimise layouts, simplify booking or enquiry processes, and ensure that important information about waste collection, recycling, and service availability is easy to find. By using cookies for performance monitoring, we can make ongoing improvements that support a smoother and more reliable user experience.

If you decide to block some or all cookies, certain features of our website may not work as intended, especially those that rely on essential cookies. However, you can usually continue to browse core information about our waste collection services.

You can review and adjust your cookie preferences at any time through your browser controls. The method for doing this varies by browser and device, but it commonly appears in the privacy or security settings.
