Welcome to Waste London — this cookie policy explains how WasteLondon uses cookies and similar technologies on our digital services. This document describes the types of cookies we set, why we set them and how you can control them.

What are cookies and why we use them

Cookies are small text files placed on your device to remember information about your visit. Waste London cookies help the service operate efficiently, improve site performance and tailor experiences. Some cookies are necessary for basic operations, while others help us analyse usage or deliver personalised content. We use a combination of session and persistent cookies for functionality and analytics.

The bin is situated on a paved pathway in a well-maintained park or garden area, with a large tree trunk visible on the left, green grass, and neatly trimmed shrubbery and flowerbeds in the background. The scene suggests a waste disposal or rubbish collection setting, with natural daylight illuminating the area. The overall environment appears clean and orderly, consistent with professional rubbish removal services in London, such as those offered by Waste London.

Types of cookies we deploy

Essential cookies - These cookies are strictly necessary to enable core functions such as navigation, security and access to protected areas. Without essential cookies, key features may not work correctly.
Analytics cookies - Employed to measure how visitors use Waste London services, which pages are visited most and how long people stay. These help with performance monitoring and improving the service. Marketing cookies - Used to provide relevant content and adverts, though our primary focus is informational and operational.

Essential, Analytics and Marketing explained

Essential cookies support day-to-day functions and security. Analytics cookies enable aggregated reporting so we can review site speed, usage patterns and technical errors. Marketing cookies may track visits across services to build an understanding of interests. These three categories — essential, analytics, marketing — form the backbone of our cookie taxonomy for Waste London and related platforms.

He is smiling while holding an old, bulky CRT television with a grey plastic casing, glass screen, and attached power cord. The container is partially filled with black plastic bags and miscellaneous waste items, visible in the background along with a pallet jack or trolley. The environment appears to be an outdoor or semi-covered area likely associated with rubbish disposal services in London, close to postal code areas within the city. The scene reflects the process of disposing or recycling electronic waste as part of a waste management operation by Waste London.Performance monitoring and purpose

Performance monitoring through analytics cookies is focused on improving operational reliability and efficiency. We collect anonymous data on page load times, error rates, and interaction flows to identify bottlenecks and optimise routes for waste collection information. This monitoring supports service improvements, reduces latency and helps prioritise technical updates. No personal data is required to analyse aggregated performance metrics for Waste London services.

User control over cookies

You can manage cookie preferences via your browser settings or through any in-page cookie controls where offered. Choosing to block analytics or marketing cookies will limit tracking and personalised content but will not prevent the service from functioning at a basic level. Below are common controls available to visitors:

  • Adjust browser privacy settings to block or delete cookies
  • Use built-in preference tools to accept only essential cookies
  • Clear stored cookies to reset tracking choices

Two large, dark grey plastic wheelie bins are positioned on a paved area outdoors, likely a driveway or street in a residential area. The bin on the left has its lid securely closed, while the bin on the right has its lid partially open, revealing a glimpse of orange plastic object and some miscellaneous trash inside. Both bins exhibit a slightly textured surface typical of durable plastic waste containers and have rectangular indents for grip. The background shows blurred greenery and a segment of road or pathway, with a small tunnel or culvert visible in the distance. The setting appears to be a typical rubbish collection area, consistent with waste management services such as those provided by Waste London, serving local neighbourhoods in the vicinity of London or nearby boroughs, and highlights the practical aspect of waste disposal in urban or suburban environments.

Data minimisation and retention

We apply data minimisation principles: analytics cookies record aggregated, non-identifying information and are retained only as long as needed for performance insights. Retention periods are kept as short as operationally feasible and cookies that are not essential are given explicit expiry periods to respect user privacy on WasteLondon properties.

Two large green plastic wheelie bins positioned side by side on a paved surface, likely in an outdoor urban or suburban area. Each bin has a smooth finish, a slightly rounded lid, and small black wheels at the base for mobility. The bin on the left is larger with a broader profile, while the one on the right is slightly smaller, both with closed lids. Behind the bins, there is a hedge with brown and green foliage, indicating an outdoor environment, possibly along a driveway or street in a residential area near London. The ground surface is dark grey asphalt, with some scattered leaves and debris around the bins, suggesting they are used for rubbish collection and waste management. The setting appears to be during daylight hours with natural lighting illuminating the scene. Waste London often provides rubbish removal services, and these bins are typical of the type used for household or commercial waste disposal in the UK.Changes and review We may update this cookie policy to reflect changes in technology or operational needs. When revisited, updates will clarify any new cookie types or altered purposes for monitoring site performance. Users are encouraged to review cookie notices periodically to stay informed about how cookies support Waste London services and the ways to control them.
