Tommys Rubbish (also referenced as Tommy's Rubbish and TommysRubbish) is committed to transparent handling of cookies and similar technologies. This cookie policy explains what cookies are, why we use them, the different cookie types active when you interact with our services, and how you can manage your preferences. The purpose of this notice is to make sure visitors understand the role of cookies in keeping services efficient and secure.

What are cookies? Cookies are small text files placed on your device by the browser. They allow our systems to recognise your device, remember preferences and improve performance. Cookies do not typically store personal data on their own, but they can be used together with other identifiers to provide tailored experiences. Tommys Rubbish cookies enable smoother navigation and help monitor how services perform under real conditions.

Types of cookies we use — below is a concise list of the principal cookie categories used by Tommys Rubbish and related services:

• Essential cookies: These are necessary for core site functions, security and to maintain session information. Without these cookies some features will not work.
• Analytics cookies: Also called performance cookies, these collect information about how visitors use our services, which pages are most visited and where improvements are needed.
• Marketing cookies: These cookies help deliver relevant advertising and measure campaign effectiveness. They may be set by third parties involved in advertising or audience measurement.

How Tommys Rubbish uses cookies

We use cookies to support operational needs, user experience improvements and lawful business purposes. Cookies help us remember preferences, secure sessions, and reduce repetitive steps for returning users. They are also integral to monitoring resource usage and identifying potential service issues before they affect many people.

Performance monitoring and analytics — performance monitoring is a key reason we deploy analytics cookies. These cookies collect data about page load times, error rates and interaction patterns so we can measure reliability and speed. Monitoring performance enables proactive maintenance, capacity planning and informed decisions about upgrades that keep services running smoothly. Aggregated analytics help prioritise fixes and validate that improvements actually reduce latency or errors.

Some cookies are set by third-party partners who provide analytics or marketing functionality. These third-party cookies are governed by the partners' policies; they may persist for different durations and can be removed by users through their browser or privacy settings. Tommys Rubbish does not control third-party cookie policies but aims to work with partners that respect privacy best practices.

User control and cookie choices

You remain in control of cookies. Most browsers allow you to block or delete cookies via settings. You can also use privacy preferences on the device or browser to limit third-party cookies. Turning off certain cookie categories may impact your experience — for example, disabling analytics prevents performance insights and disabling marketing may stop personalised messaging.

Managing cookie preferences — Use your browser settings or privacy extensions to view, delete or block cookies. For persistent choices about analytics or marketing cookies, consider adjusting consent settings where presented, or clear cookies periodically to reset preferences. Note: blocking essential cookies will affect usability and some features will become unavailable.

Final notes — This policy describes cookie categories, user control options and the specific role of cookies in Tommys Rubbish operations, including performance monitoring. We recommend periodic review of your browser cookie settings and awareness of how cookies contribute to service stability and improvements. The terms here aim to be clear and practical so you understand how Tommy's Rubbish and related services use cookies and what controls are available to you.
