Cookie policy

Last updated November 10, 2026

Cookies are small files a website stores in your browser. This page lists the cookies besttrashcan.com can set today. The site uses no tracking or advertising cookies, so there is no cookie banner. Our visitor counting doesn’t use cookies at all. We will update this page before that changes.

These cookies are needed to keep the site secure. They don’t track you across other websites.

Visitor counting without cookies

We count visits with Cloudflare Web Analytics, a privacy-focused, cookie-free visitor counting service. It records page views and performance data without cookies, without storing anything in your browser, and without tracking you across other websites. See Cloudflare’s privacy policy.

Cookies for site staff only

A few cookies are only set if you sign in to manage the site; visitors never receive them. They keep a staff member signed in, remember editor settings and keep signed-in pages out of the cache. They last until sign-out or up to 14 days, except editor settings, which last up to 1 year.

The contact form and email signup

Our contact form and the Trash Can of the Month signup set no cookies and load no third-party script. See the privacy policy for what happens to what you send.

Cookies on retailer sites

When you click a link to a retailer, the retailer, and any affiliate network it uses, may set cookies on its own site, for example to record that you came from us. Those cookies are covered by the retailer’s cookie and privacy policies, not ours.

Controlling cookies

You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings. If you block Cloudflare’s security cookies, you may be asked to complete security checks more often.
