Introduction

This Cookie Policy explains how Waste Collection Swiss Cottage uses cookies and similar technologies on our website. It describes the types of cookies we use, the purposes for which we use them, how they support performance monitoring, and the choices you have to manage or disable cookies in your browser settings.

By continuing to use our website after seeing a cookie notification, you agree that cookies may be stored on your device as described in this policy. You can withdraw or change your consent at any time by adjusting your browser or device settings.

What Are Cookies

Cookies are small text files placed on your computer, smartphone, or tablet when you visit a website. They help the site recognise your device, remember your preferences, and understand how visitors use different pages and features. Some cookies are necessary for the website to function correctly, while others help us measure performance and improve our services.

Cookies used by Waste Collection Swiss Cottage may be set directly by our website or, in some cases, by trusted third parties that provide services such as analytics or advertising. All cookies we use are intended to enhance your experience or support the efficient operation of our services.

Types of Cookies We Use

Essential Cookies

Essential cookies are required for the core operation of our website. They enable basic functions such as page navigation, secure access to forms, and correct display of content. Without these cookies, certain features of the site may not work properly.

We use essential cookies to maintain session information, remember cookie preferences, support security features, and ensure that pages load efficiently. These cookies do not collect information for marketing purposes and are generally set only in response to actions you take, such as filling in forms or adjusting privacy settings.

Analytics Cookies

Analytics cookies help us understand how visitors interact with our website. They collect information such as which pages are visited most often, how long users stay on each page, and whether they encounter errors or broken elements. The data gathered is aggregated and does not directly identify individual visitors.

We use analytics cookies to monitor website performance, measure the effectiveness of our content, and identify areas for improvement. These insights enable us to optimise page layouts, streamline user journeys, and ensure that important information about waste collection services is easy to find and understand.

Marketing Cookies

Marketing cookies are used to deliver content and advertising that is more relevant to your interests. They may remember that you have visited our website and help us present information about our services that is more aligned with your needs. These cookies may also limit how often you see certain messages.

Marketing cookies can be set by our site or by selected third parties that assist with advertising or promotional campaigns. The information gathered may be combined with data from other sources to build a general profile of your interests, without directly identifying you.

Performance Monitoring and Service Improvement

Performance monitoring is a key purpose of using analytics and certain functional cookies on the Waste Collection Swiss Cottage website. By analysing visitor numbers, navigation paths, page loading times, and interaction with forms, we can detect technical issues and usability problems quickly.

This ongoing performance monitoring helps us maintain a reliable website, improve response times, and present information about collection schedules, recycling guidance, and contact options in a clear and accessible way. The goal is to provide a smooth online experience that supports residents and businesses using our waste collection services.

User Control and Cookie Management

You have control over how cookies are used on your device. Most web browsers allow you to view, delete, or block cookies, and to set preferences for how cookies are handled in the future. Typically, you can find these options in the privacy or security settings of your browser.

If you choose to block all cookies, some parts of our website may not function correctly, and you may not be able to access certain features or submit forms. You can usually choose to block only non essential cookies, such as marketing or certain analytics cookies, while allowing essential cookies that are necessary for the site to work.

You may also be able to configure your browser to notify you when a cookie is set or updated, giving you the opportunity to accept or reject it. For more detailed instructions, please refer to the help section of your specific browser or device. Your continued use of the website after changing cookie settings will be treated as your updated preference.

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in technology, legal requirements, or the way we operate our website and services. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated revision date. We encourage you to review this Cookie Policy periodically to stay informed about how we use cookies at Waste Collection Swiss Cottage.
