Skip Hire Lee Cookie Policy

Welcome to the Skip Hire Lee cookie policy. This document explains how Skip-Hire Lee and its services use cookies and similar technologies to provide a reliable experience. Skiphire Lee respects your privacy and aims to be transparent about what we collect and why. This policy describes cookie categories, how cookies are used for performance monitoring, and how you can control cookie settings. Please read carefully.

What are cookies and why we use them

Cookies are small text files placed on your device that help a service recognize your browser and remember information. At Skip Hire Lee we use cookies to enable essential functionality, monitor service performance, and deliver marketing features. Cookies do not usually store personal information directly, but they can link to data we hold about you when you interact with our skip hire service.

Cookie types used by Skip Hire Lee

We use three main categories of cookies to support our operations and improve user experience. Below are the categories and examples of their purposes:

• Essential cookies: required for core functions such as session management and security. Without these cookies the site cannot operate correctly.
• Analytics cookies: used to understand how visitors interact with our site, to monitor page load times and identify errors for performance monitoring and improvement.
• Marketing cookies: enable relevant advertising and measure campaign effectiveness across platforms when you engage with our content.

Essential cookies explained

The essential cookie group powers login sessions, basket or booking continuity, and security checks. These cookies are always active for users of our skip hire platform to protect access and ensure continuity while you browse. Skip Hire Lee does not require consent for strictly necessary cookies, but we do inform users about their presence.

Analytics and performance monitoring

Analytics cookies help us collect aggregated performance data. We use performance monitoring tools to measure page response times, error rates, and user flows. The primary purpose of this monitoring is to identify bottlenecks, improve load times, and ensure reliable quote and booking processes. Data collected is anonymized and used to enhance the overall reliability of the skip hire experience.

Marketing cookies

Marketing cookies are deployed to show relevant promotions and to measure the effectiveness of advertising campaigns. These cookies may be placed by third-party partners and are used to tailor content to likely interests. If you prefer not to receive these, you can opt out using the controls below.

User control and cookie settings

You have control over cookies. Most browsers let you block or delete cookies through settings. To manage cookies, adjust browser preferences for cookie acceptance, or use the cookie preference banner where available to toggle categories such as analytics and marketing. If you disable analytics cookies, performance monitoring will be limited and our ability to improve site speed and reliability may be reduced.

How to manage cookies

Changes you make to cookie preferences affect only the device and browser you use. Clearing cookies may remove saved choices and require you to reselect preferences. You can also use browser extensions or privacy tools to limit tracking. For essential functions, however, some cookies must remain enabled to use the skip hire features.

Data retention and policy updates

Retention: We retain cookie identifiers for the period required to support the purpose stated at collection, usually between session duration and up to a limited number of months for analytics. Policy updates: We may update this cookie policy from time to time to reflect changes in technology or regulation. When updates are significant we will make reasonable efforts to make them visible to users of the skip hire service.
