SMS Ltd and our other websites use a number of suppliers who also set cookies on our behalf in order to deliver the services that they are providing.

SMS Ltd uses the Adobe Flash Player to deliver its video content services throughout the site. To improve user experience, Local Shared Objects – or Flash Cookies as they are commonly known – are employed to provide features such as auto-resume and for saving your preferences. Flash Cookies are stored on a user’s terminal much the same as cookies are, however it is not possible to manage them at browser level in the same way.

The Adobe website provides comprehensive information on how to delete or disable Flash cookies either for a specific domain like Scottish-enterprise.com or for all websites.

Please be aware that restricting the use of Flash Cookies may affect the features available to you for Flash based applications.

We sometimes embed photos and video content from websites such as YouTube and Flickr. As a result, when you visit a page with content embedded from, for example, YouTube or Flickr, you may be presented with cookies from these websites. SMS Ltd does not control the dissemination of these cookies. You should check the relevant third party website for more information about these.

Most browsers will give you the option to accept cookies from websites while blocking those from third parties. Check your browser’s Help for details, or visit the About cookies website for more information.

Again, most browsers will give you the option to block these cookies if you wish, although it may prevent you from being able to use these services if you do.
