2. What cookies are

Cookies are small text files that a website may store on your device when you visit it. They can help the website work, remember your choices, measure how it is used or support advertising.

This Notice also covers similar technologies, such as pixels, tags, scripts and local storage, where they store information on or access information from your device.

Some technologies are set by us; others may be set by third-party services used on the Website.

3. The types of technology we may use

The Website may use the categories below. The actual technologies and providers must be listed in the cookie table in section 6 and kept up to date.

Strictly necessary

These technologies are needed for the Website or a service you have requested to work. They may, for example, support security, maintain a session or remember your cookie choices. Where the law allows, they may be used without consent.

Functional

These technologies remember choices or settings to improve your experience, such as language or display preferences. Unless a specific technology is strictly necessary to provide a service you have requested, we will ask for your consent before using it.

Analytics

These technologies help us understand how visitors use the Website, such as which pages are visited and whether visitors encounter errors. We will not use analytics cookies or similar technologies unless you have given consent through the cookie banner.

Marketing

These technologies may be used to measure advertising, build or select audiences, or show relevant advertising on this or other websites. We will not use marketing cookies or similar technologies unless you have given consent through the cookie banner.

4. Consent and cookie choices

When you first visit the Website, the cookie banner will let you accept or reject non-essential cookies and, where available, choose by category. Non-essential cookies and similar technologies will not be set before you consent.

You do not have to accept non-essential cookies to use the Website. If the banner offers separate “Accept” and “Reject” options, you can use either one. Choosing not to consent should not prevent you from using the Website’s essential functions.

You can change or withdraw your choices at any time by selecting “Cookie preferences” in the footer of the Website. Changing your choice will apply to future use. It may not remove cookies already stored on your device, so you may also need to delete those through your browser settings.

We may store a record of your cookie choice so we can remember and respect it. We will ask you to review your choice again periodically or if we make a material change to the cookies we use.

5. Managing cookies through your browser

Most browsers let you view, block or delete cookies through their settings. If you block all cookies, some parts of the Website may not work properly. Browser controls do not replace the cookie settings on the Website; use both if you want to change your consent and remove stored cookies.

6. Cookies and similar technologies used on the Website

The table below lists the cookies and similar technologies currently used on the Website.

Name of cookie or technology	Provider	Category	Purpose	Expiry or retention period
rippa-cookie-consent	Rippa Machinery UK	Strictly necessary	Remembers your cookie choices so we can respect them on future visits.	12 months

The Website currently runs no analytics, functional or marketing cookies. If an analytics or marketing service is added in the future, this table will be updated and that technology will not be set until you have given consent through the cookie banner.

A session cookie generally expires when you close your browser. A persistent cookie stays on your device until it expires or is deleted. Actual periods depend on the technology and provider.

7. Personal information and our Privacy Policy

Information collected through cookies or similar technologies may identify or relate to you or your device. Where that information is personal data, we handle it in line with applicable data protection law.

For more information about the personal data we collect, why we use it, who we share it with, how long we keep it and your rights, please read our Privacy Policy.

8. Changes to this Notice

We may update this Notice if the Website’s technology, the cookies we use or the law changes. The latest version will be published on the Website with its updated date.
