Types of Cookies We Use

We use a combination of essential, analytics and marketing cookies on the Waste Collection Islington website. Each type serves a different purpose, as described below.

Essential Cookies

Essential cookies are necessary for the operation of our website and cannot be switched off in our systems. They are usually set in response to actions you take, such as navigating between pages, submitting online forms, or adjusting your privacy settings. Without these cookies, certain services you request, such as booking a waste collection or accessing secure areas, may not function correctly. These cookies do not collect information that identifies you for marketing purposes.

Analytics Cookies

Analytics cookies help us understand how visitors use the Waste Collection Islington website. They collect information such as which pages are visited, how long users stay on a page, which features are used and any error messages that occur. We use this information in an aggregated form to monitor the performance of our website, identify areas for improvement and make sure the site is easy to use.

The data gathered through analytics cookies supports performance monitoring by allowing us to track trends in website traffic, measure the effectiveness of new content and ensure that essential services, such as online forms and service updates, are functioning reliably. These cookies may be set by us or by carefully selected third party analytics providers acting on our behalf.

We may use marketing cookies to measure the performance of information campaigns, for example by understanding whether a notice about changes to collection schedules has been viewed. Marketing cookies may be set by us or by trusted third parties that help us manage and deliver communications.

How We Use Cookies for Performance Monitoring

Performance monitoring is an important part of managing the Waste Collection Islington website. By using analytics and certain marketing cookies, we can review how well our online services are working, detect technical issues and maintain site security. This helps us ensure that key information, such as service updates and guidance on waste and recycling, is consistently available and easy to access. We analyse this information at a statistical level and do not use it to make automated decisions about individuals.
