Cookie Policy
About our cookies – supporting your informed choice
Please note: this is our initial policy and what we see as the 1st stage of achieving privacy compliance for all visitors to our site (including Opt In / Opt Out). There is a degree of confusion currently around what is considered consent for cookies – and this is likely to be the case for a little while yet – so here at Kelsey Publishing Group (KPG) we are not just addressing the legal compliance aspects, we also believe in open and transparent business operations.
Apart from the additional information provided by this update, the operation of the www.tractor-and-machinery.co.uk website has not changed or been modified. The detail contained within this page is provided to ensure you are fully aware of the cookies we have in use, allowing you to make an informed choice about your continued acceptance of cookies.
We are currently examining all elements of our web operations and working on a 3-stage approach to meet the EU guidelines relating to protecting your privacy online — we want you to be 100% confident in using our site, and for you to be more than satisfied that your privacy is of the utmost importance to us.
The 1st stage is all about us providing you with the detail around the cookies we use. The 2nd stage is about internal change across our business – to educate staff as to the importance and understanding of online privacy, together with the updating of our internal policies and procedures. The 3rd stage is ensuring that all of our suppliers (internal and external) disclose the detail of any likely impact that their products and services could have on your privacy. There are a number of areas of our business under review and, where required, we may change our operating practices, technology, terms and conditions (mobile, email etc.).
