WasteVision primarily focuses on providing a high-quality platform experience rather than extensive marketing and advertising. We do not extensively track users across the web for targeted advertising purposes. However, if we partner with analytics or marketing platforms in the future, those services may use cookies to measure campaign effectiveness and track user interaction with promotional materials. Currently, WasteVision does not use cookies for behavioral advertising on third-party websites.
In addition to cookies set directly by WasteVision, some third-party services embedded on our website or platform may set their own cookies:
WasteVision does not control how third-party services use cookies. We recommend reviewing the privacy policies of these services to understand their cookie practices. Many third-party services allow you to opt out of their tracking through their individual settings or through industry opt-out tools.

Please note that blocking essential cookies may impair your ability to use WasteVision features that require authentication or session management. Visit your browser's help documentation for specific instructions on managing cookies (typically found under "Settings," "Preferences," or "Privacy").
WasteVision may provide a cookie preference center within our platform (if available in your region) that allows you to selectively enable or disable non-essential cookies while maintaining core functionality. This tool typically allows you to make granular choices about analytics, functionality, and marketing cookies while keeping essential cookies active.
To opt out of Google Analytics tracking, you can install the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on. This add-on prevents Google Analytics JavaScript from sending information to Google Analytics.
Some browsers include a "Do Not Track" (DNT) feature that sends a signal to websites indicating your preference not to be tracked for advertising, analytics, or other purposes. Currently, there is no universal standard for how websites should respond to DNT signals, and WasteVision does not currently respond to DNT headers differently than normal traffic. However, WasteVision respects your privacy regardless of DNT status and only uses cookies as described in this policy. If you prefer not to receive cookies, you can adjust your browser settings or use the cookie preference options available on our platform.
WasteVision LLC may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our cookie practices, new technologies, regulatory requirements, or other operational reasons. When we make material changes to this policy, we will notify you by updating the "Last Updated" date at the top of this page and, if required, by providing additional notice (such as a prominent notice on our website or an email notification). Your continued use of WasteVision after any changes indicates your acceptance of the updated Cookie Policy.

WasteVision is committed to transparency about our cookie practices and respects your choices regarding the data we collect. We welcome your questions and feedback about how we use cookies and handle your information.
