What are cookies and why we use them
Cookies are small text files stored on your device to recognise your browser and remember certain information. At Skip Hire in Barbican, cookies allow basic functionality, improve performance monitoring, and enable relevant marketing. Cookies do not personally identify you unless you provide information directly through forms or account actions.
Barbican skip hire uses cookies to make our operations efficient and secure. Below we outline the main categories of cookies we deploy and the specific role each plays in performance monitoring, analytics, and essential site operations.
Cookie categories used by SkipHire Barbican
We categorise cookies so you can understand and control them. Our cookie use includes:
- Essential cookies: These are necessary to provide core functionality such as form submissions, session management, and secure access to restricted areas. Without these cookies, the skip booking flow and account sessions may not operate.
- Analytics cookies: Employed to gather anonymous data about how visitors interact with pages, enabling performance monitoring and site improvements. These cookies help us understand which pages are most visited, how users navigate, and where technical issues occur.
- Marketing cookies: Used to deliver tailored content and offers about Barbican skip hire services, to measure campaign effectiveness, and to limit repeated exposure to the same ads.
We do not use cookies to collect sensitive personal data, and cookies set by third parties are clearly identified where applicable.
Our performance monitoring aims to identify slow pages, resource errors, and user experience barriers so we can prioritise fixes. Analytics cookies underpin this by collecting aggregated metrics like page load times, session lengths, and error rates.

Controlling cookies is your choice. You can adjust settings through your browser to block or delete cookies. For a tailored experience, most browsers allow you to:
- Block third-party cookies while allowing essential cookies.
- Clear cookies for particular sites or all stored cookies.

Note: Disabling analytics or marketing cookies will not affect core service functionality provided by essential cookies; however, it may limit personalised offers or the completeness of performance data used to enhance the skip hire experience.
