A simple note on cookies, local storage, and third-party checkout.

At the moment, the main SCO CIC site is deliberately light. We are not using an analytics or advertising setup that drops non-essential tracking cookies across the site.

Last updated: 12 April 2026

What We Use Right Now

Essential website delivery and security handled through our hosting setup.
Session storage on parts of the Industrial Elements page to remember a resource unlock during the current browser session.
Stripe checkout, when enabled for bookings, which may use its own cookies or similar technologies on Stripe-controlled pages.

What We Are Not Doing

No advertising cookies.
No retargeting pixels.
No non-essential analytics banner workflow at the moment because we are not currently dropping those kinds of cookies on the main site.

External Platforms

If you leave this site and visit Instagram, TikTok, Stripe or another third-party platform from one of our links, that platform may use its own cookies or tracking under its own policy.

If This Changes

If we add non-essential analytics, marketing cookies or similar tools later, we will update this page and put the right consent step in place first.
