Cookies Policy

What are cookies?

A cookie is a simple text file containing small amounts of information which are stored on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. Cookies are sent back to the originating site on each subsequent visit or to another site that recognizes the cookie. Cookies allow a website to remember your preferences, improve the user experience, and tailor the advertisements you may see to those that are most relevant to you.

We may use other forms of technology which serve a similar purpose to cookies and which allow us to monitor and improve our sites and apps. These could include "web beacons" (also known as image tags, pixel tags, GIFs or web bugs) which are small pieces of code used to collect advertising data, such as counting page views, promotion views or advertising responses. When we talk about cookies in this policy, this term also includes these similar technologies.

Cookies used on this site

We use the following types of cookies:

• First party cookies
  First party cookies are set by the SCS Websites and can only be read by our site.
  
  
• Third party cookies
  Third party cookies are set by an organization other than SCS. For example, we may use a third party analytics company (eg, Adobe Analytics) which will set its own cookie to perform this service. The SCS Websites may also contain content embedded from, for example, YouTube or Flickr, and these sites may set their own cookies. SCS does not control the dissemination of these cookies so you should check the relevant third-party website for more information.
  
  
• Session cookies
  Session cookies are temporarily stored during a browsing session and are deleted from your device when the browser is closed.
  
  
• Persistent cookies
  Persistent cookies are saved on your computer for a fixed period and are not deleted when the browser is closed. Persistent cookies are used where we need to know who you are for more than one browsing session. For example, we use this type of cookie to store your preferences so that they are remembered for the next visit.
  
  

How we use cookies

We group the cookies used on our site into three categories:

• Strictly Necessary Cookies
  These cookies are necessary to enable you to move about the website and to use its features.
  
  
• Functionality Cookies
  These cookies enhance the functionality of the website by remembering and storing your preferences — for example, your name, default territory and language. These cookies can also be used to remember changes you have made to text size, fonts and other parts of our website that you can customize.
  
  
• Analytics Cookies
  These cookies collect information about how you use a website in order to improve and enhance its performance — for example, to remember which pages are visited most often.
  
  

  We use Adobe Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Adobe Inc. ("Adobe"). Adobe Analytics uses cookies to help us analyze your use of the SCS Website. The information generated by Adobe's cookies about your use of the SCS Website (including your IP address) will be transferred to and held on Adobe's servers in the US. Adobe will use this information to analyze your use of the SCS Website, to create reports about the website activity for website operators and providing other services relating to website activity and internet usage. Adobe may also transfer the information to third parties where required to do so by law or where such third parties process the information on Adobe’s behalf. Adobe will not associate your IP address with other information of Adobe. By using the SCS Website, you consent to the processing of your information collected by Adobe as described above and for the purposes described above. You can learn more about Adobe Analytics cookies at https://www.adobe.com/analytics/adobe-analytics.html.
