Cookies

    • Our website uses cookies (a short piece of data which is sent form a web server to a web browser on your machine when you visit our website). The cookie is stored on your machine but cannot do anything to your machine. A web server sends you a cookie and your browser accepts it. The browser then returns the cookie to the web server, recognising that you have visited the site before and coordinates your access on that website. If you visit our website again the cookie enables the server to recognise that you have visited before and helps co-ordinate your access to different pages on our website.  We may use cookies to monitor use of the website and to serve you better when you return to it. We cannot trace your personal information as a result of using cookies.

 

Advertising and Third-Parties

Should you leave our site, irrespective if you have clicked on any advertising from our website or email communications, our Policy no longer applies. You are then bound by the privacy policy of the subsequent site.  It is in your best interest to review these. Advertisements managed or placed on our site by third party companies may request or record information from users, use cookies or non-personal information when clicking or activating their banner advertisements.  This automated technology and statistical collection may not be obvious to you. We take no responsibility of any consequences arriving from such subsequent sites.

Where personal information is collected from you directly by a third party (including through a device installed at South City Shopping Centre) our Policy does not apply to their collection, use, storage, or disclosure of such personal information. Instead, the privacy policy of the relevant third party applies, and it is in your best interest to review their privacy policy.

Business Transactions

If ownership or management of South City Shopping Centre, or of the website or any of its portions changes, your personal information may be transferred to the new owner or manager, so the website can continue operations with the then-current privacy policies still applicable, without requiring your further consent.

Changes in privacy policy

We reserve the right to amend this Policy from time to time and alter functionality to take account of new laws and technology, changes of operations and practices, and the changing business environment. Any changes made will be updated in this Policy accordingly. We will inform you of any changes by way of publishing an updated policy on the website, effective from the date of publication.
