MarkerInbound is correct. "Cleared straight-in approach" means "do not carry out a procedure turn".

"Straight-in landing" is what you do at the end of the approach if the final course is within 30º (cat a, b) of the runway you are going to land on, and "circle-to-land" is what you do if the final course is not so aligned.
