About cookies and browser storage

Cookies store information in your browser and may send it back to a service. Similar technologies include local storage and session storage. These rules concern access to your device as well as personal information. Reviewed 16 October 2026.

What this website uses

Microsoft sign-in uses browser session storage for account and token information to support authorised access. Microsoft and the hosting provider may also use their own service and security cookies. Our own public pages do not load advertising, audience analytics or embedded social feeds. Ask SCP uses preset responses in page memory, not an external AI chat service.

Google Maps

The Contact page embeds Google Maps, which loads automatically when its area of the page is reached. This connects your browser to Google, which may receive device and network information and use cookies or similar technologies under its own terms. An external larger-map link is also available.

Sign-in storage and duration

Microsoft authentication data is configured to use sessionStorage. Its lifetime also depends on token expiry, sign-out and browser behaviour; restoring a browser session may restore session data. Clearing browser data can remove local account information but does not necessarily end your Microsoft session on other websites. Use the website’s Microsoft sign-out control when available. Provider-managed cookie names and lifetimes require verification on the deployed site; we do not invent a fixed inventory.

Your choices

Browser settings can restrict or clear stored information, including third-party cookies, although this can affect external services. The embedded map currently loads automatically and is not governed by an optional map switch on this website. The deployed map’s storage behaviour and any required consent controls need assessment before public launch.

External services and updates

Email, WhatsApp and social links open separate services with their own privacy and storage settings. We will update this notice before adding materially different technologies. See Privacy Notice or email compliance@supplychain.partners with questions.
