Use of Cookies

The Scecina website uses “cookies” to help you personalize your online experience. A cookie is a text file that is placed on your hard disk by a website page server. Cookies cannot be used to run programs or deliver viruses to your computer. Cookies are uniquely assigned to you, and can be read only by a website server in the domain that issued the cookie to you. One of the primary purposes of cookies is to provide a convenience feature to save you time. The purpose of a cookie is to tell the website server that you have returned to a specific page. For example, if you personalize Scecina pages, or register with Scecina site or services, a cookie helps Scecina to recall your specific information on subsequent visits. This simplifies the process of recording your personal information, such as billing addresses, shipping addresses, and so on. When you return to the same Scecina website, the information you previously provided can be retrieved, so you can easily use the Scecina features that you customized. Scecina also uses cookies to improve its marketing and communication efforts regarding services and programs it offers.
