SCT is committed to protecting your personal data. Please read this policy carefully to understand how we collect, use and store your personal data.
If you do not agree with any of the following, you can switch off cookies. By continuing to use our sites without changing settings, you are agreeing to SCT’s use of cookies.
What is a cookie?
A cookie is a small data file of letters and numbers that is downloaded from our website by your computer. We use these cookies to help provide you with a good experience when browsing our website and they also allow us to improve our site.
Cookies are not programs and do not collect any data from your computer.
Analytical cookies
Our website uses ‘analytical’ cookies which recognise and count the number of visitors to our website and also allow us to see how visitors move around the site when they are using it. This helps us to improve the way our website works, for example by ensuring that users are finding what they are looking for easily.
The information that we gather through these cookies is completely anonymous and visitors to our website cannot be identified personally.
Advertising
SCT, and our service providers, may use targeting cookies to understand your interests and show you relevant adverts about us on other websites you visit. Targeting our adverts means they’re more effective and cost-efficient.
Targeting cookies do not collect and store personal information that could directly identify you, such as your name or email address. However, information that uniquely identifies your browser and internet device will be shared.
You can still use the site without targeting cookies but the adverts you see will be less targeted. Turning targeting cookies off will not stop you from seeing our adverts on other websites.
