What are cookies and why they matter
Cookies are small pieces of data stored on your device when you visit a site or use an online service. They allow our house clearance service pages and Forest Gate house clearance tools to remember preferences, maintain session information and monitor performance so we can improve how we serve users. Cookies do not typically identify you personally; they support technical functions and aggregate measurement.

Essential cookies
Essential cookies enable core functionality such as secure access to features related to your house clearance requests, session management and load balancing. These cookies are strictly necessary; disabling them will affect the availability and correct operation of key services. Essential cookies ensure that interactive elements work and that basic security and fraud protection mechanisms can operate.
Analytics and performance monitoring
Analytics cookies help us understand how users interact with pages linked to Forest Gate House Clearance services.

Analytics cookies do not usually store personal identifiers and are used to create summarised reports that guide technical and operational decisions.

They may be set by third parties and are typically used to track interests and deliver targeted promotions across browsing sessions. If you choose to opt-out of marketing cookies, you may still see generic messages, but personalised promotions and targeted content will not be delivered.User control and cookie choices
