Analytics and Performance Monitoring

Analytics cookies are important for performance monitoring. We use aggregated statistics to review page speeds, identify broken links, and track how the majority of users navigate through the pages about skip sizes, delivery, and collection. This information helps Sidcup Skip Services make evidence-based improvements — for example reducing page load times so users can more quickly find the right skip.

Performance monitoring cookies do not generally collect personal data; they track patterns and trends, such as number of visits, most viewed content and error reporting. These aggregated insights let our operations team optimise booking workflows and improve route planning for Sidcup Skip Hire services.
