Cookie Policy

This site uses cookies – small text files that are placed on your machine to help the site provide a better user experience. In general, cookies are used to retain user preferences, store information for things like shopping baskets, and provide anonymised tracking data to third party applications like Google Analytics and for storing user preferences and personalisations for applications like YouTube.

As a rule, cookies will make your browsing experience better. For example, if you block Vimeo cookies on our site, the embedded broadcasts will not play as we use Vimeo to host our videos. Similarly, some signup forms or magazine pages may not display if they depend on a cookie from the service which hosts them.

This website allows granular control over what cookies are allowed via its consent application which will appear in the bottom left hand corner of the screen: If you turn a section off and the site malfunctions, you require those cookies for those site functions.

So, more specifically, we use cookies:

  • To improve the functionality and look and feel of our site
  • To remember how far you are through an order
  • To provide secure log-in
  • To provide individually tailored content
  • To analyze how the site is being used so that we can improve our service (we use Plausible Analytics, a privacy-focussed alternative to Google Analytics)

To make sure all kcm.org.uk websites are GDPR and CCPA compliant, we also use a consent solution called CookieYes. Click here to read their Privacy Policy.  See here for more details about KCM Europe’s Privacy Policy and how we protect your data.
