This Cookie Policy explains how Clear Waste Route Ltd (Company No. 17168009) uses cookies and similar technologies on clearwasteroute.co.uk and the Clear Waste Route platform at dashboard.clearwasteroute.co.uk. It should be read alongside our Privacy Policy and GDPR Statement.
By continuing to use this site, you consent to cookies being placed as described below. You can withdraw consent for non-essential cookies at any time by adjusting your browser settings — this will not affect your ability to use the site.
Cookies are small text files stored on your device by your browser when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work, improve performance, and provide information to site owners. We also use sessionStorage — a browser-based storage mechanism that works similarly to a cookie but is cleared automatically when you close your browser tab.
These are required for the site to function correctly and cannot be disabled without affecting your ability to use it.
