Cookie Policy
Last updated: 3 September 2026
This Cookie Policy explains how Kent Lifestyle Magazine uses cookies and similar technologies when you visit our website.
Kent Lifestyle Magazine is operated by Greenacre Ventures LTD. In this policy, references to “we”, “us” and “our” mean Kent Lifestyle Magazine.
We use cookies and similar technologies to keep our website working properly, remember certain preferences, understand how people use the website and, where you have given permission, support advertising, measurement and other marketing activities.
What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files that are stored on your computer, phone, tablet or other device when you visit a website. They allow a website to recognise your device and can store information about your visit, preferences or interactions.
Some cookies only remain on your device while your browser is open. These are known as session cookies. Others remain for a set period or until you delete them and are known as persistent cookies.
We may also use technologies that perform a similar function to cookies, including local storage, tracking pixels, scripts and tags. References to cookies in this policy include these similar technologies where appropriate.
How we use cookies
We may use cookies for the following purposes.
Strictly necessary cookies
These cookies are required for the website to operate correctly or to provide a service that you have specifically requested.
They may be used for purposes such as website security, fraud prevention, remembering privacy choices, maintaining website sessions, managing forms and ensuring that pages and features work correctly.
Because these cookies are necessary for the operation of the website or the provision of a requested service, they cannot generally be disabled through our cookie consent tool.
Analytics and statistical cookies
We may use analytics technologies to understand how visitors use Kent Lifestyle Magazine. This can include information such as which pages are visited, how visitors arrive at the website, how long people spend on particular pages, which features are used and the types of devices and browsers used to access the website.
This information helps us understand which content is useful, identify technical problems and improve the performance, content and usability of the website.
In some circumstances, UK law allows technologies used solely to produce aggregate statistical information for the purpose of improving a website or service to be used without prior consent. Where we rely on this exception, the information must be used only for the permitted statistical purpose and you will be provided with a simple way to object.
Where an analytics technology does not meet the requirements of this exception, we will only use it after obtaining any consent required by law.
Functionality and preference cookies
These cookies help the website remember choices or preferences and provide enhanced functionality. For example, they may remember settings that affect how the website appears or functions on your device.
Certain technologies used solely to adapt the appearance or functionality of the website to your preferences may be permitted without prior consent where the legal requirements for the relevant exception are satisfied. Where this applies, you will be given a simple way to object.
Other optional functionality cookies will only be used where any required consent has been obtained.
Advertising and marketing cookies
We may use advertising and marketing technologies to measure advertising campaigns, understand how visitors interact with promotional content, limit the number of times advertisements are shown, or help provide advertising that is more relevant to visitors.
These technologies may be provided by third-party advertising, social media or marketing partners and may allow information about your activity on Kent Lifestyle Magazine to be combined with information collected on other websites or services.
Where cookies or similar technologies are used for online advertising, behavioural tracking, profiling or related advertising measurement, we will obtain your consent before they are used where required by law.
Affiliate and ticketing links
Some links on Kent Lifestyle Magazine may be affiliate or commercial links. This includes links to ticketing providers, retailers, attractions, booking services or other third-party websites.
If you follow one of these links and subsequently make a purchase or booking, we may receive a commission or referral fee. This does not normally increase the price you pay.
Affiliate links may contain identifiers or tracking parameters that allow the relevant provider or affiliate network to attribute a purchase, booking or other action to Kent Lifestyle Magazine.
When you leave our website and visit a third-party website, that third party may set its own cookies or use other tracking technologies. Those cookies are controlled by the relevant third party and are subject to its own privacy and cookie policies.
Embedded content and third-party services
Some pages may include content or functionality supplied by third parties. This could include maps, videos, social media content, ticketing services, event information or other embedded features.
These services may use cookies or similar technologies to provide their functionality or collect information about how the embedded content is used.
Where a third-party service requires cookies that are not exempt from the consent requirements, we will prevent those technologies from being used until the appropriate consent has been provided.
First-party and third-party cookies
Cookies placed directly by Kent Lifestyle Magazine are known as first-party cookies.
Cookies placed by another organisation through services or functionality used on our website are known as third-party cookies. Third-party cookies may be used by organisations providing analytics, advertising, embedded content, social media, ticketing or other services.
We do not control how third parties use information once you leave Kent Lifestyle Magazine and visit their websites. We encourage you to review the privacy and cookie information provided by those organisations.
