What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small data files sent by a website’s server to your web browser, processor memory, or hard drive, where they are stored. They serve a range of purposes — such as personalising your website experience, helping you navigate the site, improving functionality, and storing your preferences or login information.


What Are the Different Types of Cookies?

Cookies are classified as either ‘essential’ or ‘non-essential’:

  • Essential cookies: Used solely to carry out or facilitate the transmission of communications over a network, or strictly necessary to provide an online service (e.g., our website or a feature on it) that you have requested.

  • Non-essential cookies: These include cookies used for analytics (to understand user behaviour) or advertising purposes.

Cookies can also be classified as ‘session’ or ‘persistent’, depending on how long they remain active:

  • Session cookies: These last only for as long as your browser is open and are deleted when you close it.

  • Persistent cookies: These remain on your device until a set expiry date or until you delete them manually.


What Type of Cookies Do We Use?

The Burns Waste Management website uses essential cookies only.
These cookies are necessary for the proper operation and functionality of the site. We do not use cookies for analytics, advertising, or tracking purposes.
