Cookie Policy
Last updated: 24 July 2026
This Cookie Policy explains how Waste Free Daily (wastefreedaily.com) uses cookies and similar technologies when you visit the site. It complements our Privacy Policy. If anything here is unclear, please write to us at [email protected].
What cookies are
Cookies are small text files a website places on your browser. They let a site remember your preferences between pages, count visitors anonymously, and, in the case of advertising cookies, help third parties tailor the adverts you see on other sites.
Which cookies we use
The cookies on Waste Free Daily fall into three groups.
Functional cookies
These are set by the site itself and are needed for the site to work. They remember your cookie choices, whether you have closed a notice, and (for the small number of readers who log in) your session. Without these, some features would not work at all.
Analytics cookies
These help us understand how the site is used in aggregate: which articles are read most, which pages load too slowly, which links get clicked. We use Google Analytics for this. The data is aggregated; we do not use it to identify individual readers. You can opt out of Google Analytics site-wide by installing the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on.
Advertising cookies
We use Google AdSense to display ads on the site. Google and its certified advertising partners may set cookies (including the DoubleClick DART cookie) to serve ads based on your prior visits to Waste Free Daily and other sites. These cookies help fund the site while keeping most of our content free to read.
You can control personalised ads from Google in Google Ads Settings, and you can opt out of third-party cookie-based advertising by visiting aboutads.info (US) or youronlinechoices.eu (EU/UK).
Managing cookies from Waste Free Daily
When you first visit the site you will see a cookie notice. You can:
- Accept all. Allow every category above.
- Reject non-essential. Only the functional cookies load; analytics and advertising cookies are blocked.
- Choose per category. Open Preferences to allow analytics but block advertising, or any combination.
You can revisit that choice at any time by using the Cookie Settings link in the footer of every page.
Managing cookies in your browser
You can also block or delete cookies through your browser. Instructions differ by browser: Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge. Note that blocking every cookie may break sign-in features or your saved cookie preference on any site you visit.
Changes to this Cookie Policy
We revise this page when the vendors we use change, when the categories above change, or when a new law asks us to be more specific about a particular technology. The date at the top always reflects the current version.
