Waste Collection Haringey Cookie Policy

This Cookie Policy explains how Waste Collection Haringey uses cookies and similar technologies on our online services. It describes the types of cookies we use, what they do, and how you can manage your cookie settings. By continuing to use our services after seeing the cookie notice, you agree to the use of cookies as described in this policy.

Cookies are small text files that are stored on your device when you visit a website. They help us remember your preferences, understand how you use our services, and improve the way our waste and recycling information is delivered to residents and businesses in Haringey.

Types of Cookies We Use

We use three main categories of cookies: essential cookies, analytics cookies, and marketing cookies. Each category plays a different role in providing and improving our waste collection services.

Essential cookies

Essential cookies are necessary for our website and online tools to function correctly. Without these cookies, some features will not work. For example, essential cookies may allow you to:

Stay logged in while using online waste collection forms or requests, move between pages without losing the information you have entered, and access secure areas of our services, such as booking a bulky waste collection or managing a service request.

These cookies do not track your browsing activity on other websites and are not used for marketing purposes. Because they are required for the operation of our services, you cannot disable essential cookies through our cookie settings, although you may be able to block them through your browser. Doing so may affect how our services work.

Analytics cookies

Analytics cookies help us understand how visitors use Waste Collection Haringey online services. They collect information such as which pages are visited, how long visitors stay on a page, and whether they encounter errors or broken journeys.

We use analytics cookies to monitor and improve the performance of our website. This performance monitoring enables us to:

Identify which information about waste collection, recycling, and street cleaning is most useful, measure the effectiveness of new features or changes to our online forms, and find and resolve technical problems such as slow loading pages or navigation issues.

The data collected through analytics cookies is aggregated and does not directly identify individual users. You can choose whether to allow analytics cookies through your cookie settings or browser controls.

Marketing cookies

Marketing cookies are used to deliver information and messages that are more relevant to you and your interests. They may be set by us or by carefully selected partners that help us communicate about waste and recycling services in Haringey.

Marketing cookies can help us:

Show tailored messages about service changes, collection schedules, or local recycling initiatives, avoid showing you the same notices repeatedly, and understand how effective our information campaigns are so we can improve them.

These cookies may track your use of our services over time for the purposes of measuring engagement with our campaigns. You can choose to disable marketing cookies if you prefer not to receive tailored messages.

How We Use Cookies for Performance Monitoring

Performance monitoring is an important part of maintaining and improving our waste collection services. By using analytics and certain essential cookies, we can:

Monitor traffic levels to ensure our site remains available and responsive during busy periods, such as service changes or severe weather, identify pages or online forms that may confuse users or cause them to abandon a request, and assess whether service information, such as collection dates or recycling guidance, is easy to find and understand.

This information helps us plan improvements, reduce errors, and provide a more reliable and user friendly experience for residents and businesses.

Your Control Over Cookies

You have control over how cookies are used when you access Waste Collection Haringey online services. When you first visit, you may see a notice explaining that we use cookies and providing options to accept or manage them.

You can usually manage your preferences in two ways. First, you can use any on site cookie settings tool to allow or refuse analytics and marketing cookies. Essential cookies will remain enabled so that the website can function. Second, you can change the settings in your web browser to block or delete cookies from our site or from all sites.

Please note that blocking all cookies, including essential cookies, may mean that some features of our online waste collection services do not work correctly or at all. For example, forms may not remember information between pages and secure areas may not be accessible.

By continuing to use the Waste Collection Haringey website after adjusting your cookie settings, you acknowledge that your preferences will apply to future visits from the same browser and device, unless you change your settings again.
