Cookie Policy
What cookies and similar technologies axiwaste.com uses, and why.
Last updated: 9 October 2026
Key points
- A small banner lets you accept or reject optional cookies. Reject is as easy to use as Accept.
- Google Analytics, Google Ads and Zoho SalesIQ stay off unless you accept each one. Advertising is separate from analytics. Chat loads only after you also click Chat.
- Your choice is stored in this browser for 12 months. Cookie settings in the footer opens it again.
What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files a website can store on your device. Related technologies, such as local storage, stay in your browser as well. Some of these are strictly necessary to run the site. Others are optional and, under UK GDPR and PECR, wait for your consent.
How consent works on this site
Until you choose, analytics, advertising and live chat stay off. Each page sets Google Consent Mode so analytics storage, ad storage, ad user data and ad personalisation default to denied. Analytics and advertising are separate choices. If you accept analytics, Google Analytics 4 loads after the page has finished loading. If you accept advertising, Google Ads measurement loads the same way. If you reject one of them, that script is not configured. Zoho SalesIQ sets its own cookies, so its script is added only if you have accepted live chat and then clicked Chat. You can accept all three, reject all three, or open Settings and save a mix. Enquiry and readiness-form statistics are reported to Google Analytics only if you have accepted analytics. The Google Ads conversion is sent only if you have accepted advertising. The choice is remembered in local storage on this device for 12 months. If you withdraw analytics, the _ga and _ga_68C69BE4D0 cookies are deleted on this host and on the parent domain, including the dot-prefixed form. If you withdraw advertising, the Google Ads cookies this site can see are deleted. The IDE cookie is set on doubleclick.net; this site cannot delete it. Chat cookies set by Zoho's own domains cannot be deleted by this site's code either. Clear those in your browser if you want them removed.

Local storage axiwaste_cookie_consent (this website) |
Remembers whether you accepted or rejected analytics, advertising and live chat separately, so the banner does not ask on every page. | Functional, first-party storage (not a cookie) | 12 months, then the banner is shown again |
Local storage axithorn_utm and axithorn_referrer (this website) |
Remembers campaign parameters from the link you arrived on, and the first external page that referred you, so an enquiry you choose to send can include where the visit came from. | Functional, first-party storage (not a cookie) | Until you clear site data for axiwaste.com |
How to change or clear this data
- Use Cookie settings in the footer to accept, reject, or change analytics and live chat.
- A private browsing window does not keep local storage after you close it.
Browser controls can also block cookies and site data. Blocking strictly necessary hosting cookies may affect how the host delivers the page.
