1. Introduction

This Cookie Policy explains how Clear It Waste Management Ltd ("we", "us", "our") uses cookies and similar technologies on our website.

It should be read alongside our Privacy Policy, which explains how we use personal data.

We comply with the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR) and the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations (PECR).

2. What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They help websites function properly, improve performance, and provide information to the website owners.

Cookies do not usually contain information that directly identifies you, but personal data we store about you may be linked to information stored in cookies.

3. Cookies and storage we currently use

This website is deliberately light on tracking. The table below lists every cookie or browser-storage item we currently set, together with its purpose, type, and lifetime.

Name	Provider	Purpose	Type	Expiry
ciwm_cookie_consent_v1	clearitwastemanagement.co.uk	Remembers your cookie banner choice (accepted / rejected) so we don't show the banner again.	Strictly necessary (localStorage)	Persistent, until cleared
cf_chl_*, __cf_bm	Cloudflare Turnstile	Bot/spam protection on the enquiry form. Verifies the request is human without using a CAPTCHA. Processes IP address and limited browser characteristics.	Strictly necessary (security)	Up to 30 minutes (challenge) / 30 days (__cf_bm)
_ga, _ga_*	Google Analytics 4	Measures how visitors use the site (pages viewed, sessions, traffic source) so we can improve it. IP addresses are anonymised. Only set if you accept on the cookie banner.	Analytics (consent required)	Up to 2 years
_gcl_au, _gcl_aw	Google Ads	Measures the performance of our Google Ads campaigns (which ads led to an enquiry or call). Only set if you accept on the cookie banner.	Marketing (consent required)	Up to 90 days

We use Google Consent Mode v2: until you accept on the cookie banner, all Google Analytics and Google Ads cookies are blocked and no personal identifiers are sent. Only anonymous, aggregated signals (cookieless pings) reach Google, which we use to measure roughly how our ads perform. You can change your choice at any time by clearing this site's storage in your browser, which will re-display the banner.

Cloudflare, content delivery, security and the Turnstile bot check (see above).
Google (Analytics, Ads, Maps, Reviews), measurement, advertising attribution, map embeds and live review widgets. See Google's cookie policy.
