Hotjar

We are also currently using Hotjar to track user behaviour across the website so we can identify problems and fix any issues.

If you consent to non-essential cookies then Hotjar cookies may be used. Any data collected by Hotjar is fully anonymised - with no information which can identify an individual captured.


Advertising

We use third-party advertising on our site to generate income that helps protect funding for services we deliver to residents.

The Council Advertising Network is responsible for delivering advertising on the Haringey Council website. Please take a moment to read their privacy policy (external link) which includes cookie information and details on how to opt out

The adverts are managed by a Google tool called DoubleClick for Publishers (DFP). DFP uses cookies to track who has seen which adverts and to track how those adverts are performing.

The cookies set by Google DFP are as follows:

Note changing preferences here will not stop you seeing adverts - it just means they will not be targeted in any way (so potentially less relevant). To disable adverts completely it is recommended that you use an ad-blocker on your browser/device.
