Cookies policy

Draft for legal review, dated 31 October 2026. This policy has not yet been reviewed by a solicitor, and the cookie table must be checked against the live site before it is relied on.

This policy explains how Box 4 Digital Group Ltd uses cookies on labchemicaldisposal.co.uk and on the Chemical Register at app.labchemicaldisposal.co.uk.

What cookies are

A cookie is a small text file stored on your device. It lets a site recognise your device or remember something about your visit. Similar technologies, such as local storage, are treated in the same way in this policy.

Our approach

Under the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations, we must tell you about the cookies we use. We need your consent for any that are not strictly necessary.

Our consent banner declines non-essential cookies by default. A non-essential cookie is only set if you actively choose to allow it. Continuing to browse does not count as consent. You can change your mind at any time.

Strictly necessary cookies

These make the service work, and they do not need consent. You can block them in your browser, but sign-in and some other features will then stop working.

Non-essential cookies

Analytics or other non-essential cookies in use: [TO CONFIRM]. Any that are added will be listed here, with the provider, the purpose and how long each cookie lasts, and they will only be set after you have given consent.

We do not use cookies to sell advertising or to sell your data.

Changing your choice

You can change your choice using the cookie settings link in the footer, or by clearing cookies in your browser and revisiting the site. Most browsers also let you block cookies altogether. Blocking strictly necessary cookies will affect sign-in.

Personal data

Where a cookie involves personal data, such as a session linked to your account, our privacy notice applies.

Changes

We will update this policy when the cookies we use change, and show the date at the top. Because the policy depends on what is actually running on the site, we check it against the site when features change.
