Cookies

This Cookie Policy explains how TCM Forklifts use cookies and similar technologies to recognise you when you visit our Website.  It explains what these technologies are and why we use them, as well as your rights to control our use of them. 

1. What is a cookie?

A cookie is a small file containing a string of characters that is sent to your computer when you visit a website. When you visit the site again, the cookie allows that site to recognise your browser. Cookies may store user preferences and other information.  

Cookies provide a convenience feature to save you time, or tell the Web server that you have returned to a specific page. For example, if you personalise pages on our Websites, a cookie helps us to recall your specific information on subsequent visits. When you return to the same Website, the information you previously provided can be retrieved, so you can easily use the customised features.

Cookies set by the website owner (in this case, TCM Forklifts) are called "first party cookies". Cookies set by parties other than the website owner are called "third party cookies".  Third party cookies enable third party features or functionality to be provided on or through the website (e.g. like advertising, interactive content and analytics). The parties that set these third party cookies can recognise your computer both when it visits the website in question and also when it visits certain other websites. 

2. Which cookies we store and why

Cookies do not contain any information that personally identifies you, but personal information we store about you may be linked, by us, to the information stored in and obtained from cookies.

We may use the information we obtain from your use of our cookies for the following purposes:

• to recognise your computer when you visit our website;
• to track you as you navigate our website;
• to improve the website’s usability;
• to analyse the use of our website;
• to personalise our website for you

3. What types of cookies do we use and how do we use them?

• Essential website cookies: These cookies are strictly necessary to provide you with services available through our Websites, 
• Performance and functionality cookies: These cookies are used to enhance the performance and functionality of our Website, but are non-essential to their use. However, without these cookies, certain functionality may become unavailable.
• Analytics and customisation cookies: These cookies collect information that is used either in aggregate form to help us understand how our Website is being used or how effective our marketing campaigns are, or to help us customise our Websites for you.
• Advertising cookies: These cookies are used to make advertising messages more relevant to you. They perform functions like preventing the same ad from continuously reappearing, ensuring that ads are properly displayed for advertisers, and in some cases selecting advertisements that are based on your interests.
• Social networking cookies: These cookies are used to enable you to share pages and content that you find interesting on our Website, Subscription Service or Mobile Apps through third party social networking and other websites. These cookies may also be used for advertising purposes too.
