Cookie policy
Like most websites, ours uses a few small cookies to keep things running smoothly. Here's what they do and how you stay in control.
The short version
Last updated June 2026
This is the cookie policy for Wakefield Skip Hire, accessible from wakefieldskiphire.co.uk. It explains what cookies we use, what information they gather, why we sometimes need to store them, and how you can manage them.
What are cookies?
As is common with almost all professional websites, our site uses cookies — tiny files downloaded to your device — to improve your experience. This page describes the information they gather, how we use it, and how you can prevent them being stored if you'd prefer. Bear in mind that disabling cookies may downgrade or break certain parts of the site.
How we use cookies
We use cookies for a variety of reasons, set out below. Unfortunately, in most cases there is no industry-standard way to disable cookies without also disabling the features they support. If you're not sure whether you need a particular cookie, it's usually best to leave it enabled in case it powers a feature you use — such as our booking system.
The cookies we set
Depending on how you use our website, we may set the following cookies:
- Booking and order cookies — essential cookies that remember your skip booking details between pages, so we can process your order properly.
- Form cookies — when you submit a form, such as a contact or callback request, cookies may remember your details for any future correspondence.
- Site preference cookies — to remember your preferences for how the site behaves, so your experience is consistent each time you visit.
- Email and notification cookies — where you sign up for updates, these remember whether you're already registered and which notifications to show.
Third-party cookies
In some cases we also use cookies provided by trusted third parties. The main ones you may encounter on our site are:
- Analytics — we use a well-established analytics service to understand how visitors use the site, such as how long they spend and which pages they view, so we can keep improving it. These cookies don't identify you personally.
- Payment processing — our secure payment provider may set cookies that are essential to processing your payment safely when you book and pay online.
- Testing and improvements — from time to time we test new features and make small changes. These cookies help ensure you get a consistent experience while we do so.
Disabling cookies
You can prevent cookies being set by adjusting the settings in your browser — see your browser's help section for how to do this. Be aware that disabling cookies will affect the functionality of this and many other websites you visit, and will usually disable certain features of our site, including parts of the booking system. For that reason, we generally recommend leaving cookies enabled.
More information
Hopefully that has cleared things up. As mentioned, if you're unsure whether you need a particular cookie, it's usually safer to leave it enabled in case it powers a feature you use. If you'd still like more information, please get in touch with us:
