Recycle Now Cookie Policy
This Cookie Policy explains how Recycle Now uses cookies and similar technologies on our website. It describes the types of cookies we use, the purposes they serve, and the choices you have to manage them. By continuing to use our website, you agree to the placement of cookies on your device as described in this policy, unless you choose to disable them in your browser settings.
What Are Cookies
Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They help the site recognise your device, store certain information about your preferences and actions, and support features that improve your experience. Some cookies are set directly by Recycle Now, while others may be set by trusted third parties that provide services on our behalf.
Types of Cookies We Use
Essential Cookies
Essential cookies are necessary for the basic functioning of the Recycle Now website. Without these cookies, key services and features would not work properly. They enable core functions such as page navigation, secure access to forms or tools, and the correct display of content. Because they are strictly required to provide our online services, you cannot opt out of essential cookies through our site, although you can disable them in your browser. Doing so may limit your ability to use certain parts of the website.
Analytics Cookies
Analytics cookies help us understand how visitors use the Recycle Now website. These cookies collect information such as which pages are visited most often, how users move around the site, and whether they encounter error messages. The data is aggregated and does not directly identify individual visitors. We use analytics cookies to monitor site performance, measure the effectiveness of our content, and identify areas where we can improve navigation, layout, and functionality to better support recycling information and services.
Marketing Cookies
Marketing cookies are used to deliver content and messages that may be more relevant to your interests. They can help limit the number of times you see a particular message and measure the effectiveness of our campaigns. These cookies may be set by Recycle Now or by carefully selected partners that assist us in communicating about recycling initiatives, events, and services. Marketing cookies may track your visits across different websites in order to build a profile of your interests, but they do not store information that directly identifies you by name.
How We Use Cookies for Performance Monitoring
We use cookies to monitor the technical performance and stability of the Recycle Now website. This includes tracking page load times, identifying pages that fail to load correctly, and assessing how different devices and browsers interact with our site. Performance monitoring data helps us diagnose problems, maintain the reliability of our services, and ensure that information about recycling is available quickly and consistently. By analysing these performance indicators, we can make targeted improvements that enhance usability, accessibility, and overall user experience.
Your Cookie Choices and Control
You have control over how cookies are used on your device. Most web browsers allow you to manage cookies through their settings. You can choose to block cookies, delete existing cookies, or set alerts before a cookie is stored. The method for managing cookies varies between browsers, so you should consult the help section of your browser to understand your options. Please note that if you disable certain cookies, especially essential or functional ones, some features of the Recycle Now website may not operate as intended, and your overall experience may be affected.
Changes to This Cookie Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in technology, legal requirements, or how we operate our website. Any updates will be posted on this page with a revised date. We encourage you to review this policy periodically so that you remain informed about how Recycle Now uses cookies and how you can manage your preferences.
