Cookie Policy
Cookie policy for MediWaste. Learn about how we use cookies on our website and your options for managing them.
This cookie policy explains how MediWaste uses cookies on our website and how you can manage them. Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website.

- Preference cookies — remember your settings such as cookie consent choices

Persistent cookies remain on your device after you close your browser. They are used to remember your preferences, such as your cookie consent choice, for future visits.

Cookies and clinical waste services
MediWaste uses a small number of cookies to keep the website working, remember your preferences and understand how visitors use our service pages. These technologies do not change the way clinical waste is collected, transported or treated, and they do not replace the records we provide for waste transfer and consignment notes.
If you manage a GP surgery, dental practice, care home, aesthetic clinic or other healthcare setting, you can browse our clinical waste services without accepting optional cookies. You can also return to this policy at any time from the footer to review or change your choices.
Keeping your information secure
We limit cookie access to the purposes described in this policy and review our website tools regularly. Essential cookies may be needed for security, form submission and consent preferences. We do not use cookies to collect clinical information about patients or to make decisions about the services you require.
Your choices and our website forms
Rejecting optional cookies does not prevent you from reading our service information, requesting a quote or contacting our team. Some website functions may need an essential session cookie so that a form can be submitted securely and your consent choice can be remembered. If a form does not work as expected, you can contact us by telephone instead.
Cookie settings are separate from the clinical waste records held for a customer. Waste transfer notes, consignment notes and service documents are managed as business records and are not created by optional website analytics cookies. For questions about those documents, please use the contact page rather than changing your browser cookie settings.
Policy updates
We may update this policy when our website tools, legal obligations or cookie practices change. The latest version will remain available on this page, with the date of the most recent update shown where appropriate. Continuing to use the website after a change means you can review the updated information and adjust optional consent through the cookie controls.
