General Information

This cookie policy describes how we use cookies and similar technologies on our website.  

This cookie policy was last updated on February 8, 2021.

SF Technology Co. Ltd.. (SF, we, us, our) uses cookies and similar technologies as described in this cookie policy.  

Please review this cookie policy carefully. It describes our use of cookies and similar technologies as well as our use of other methods to collect and share data regarding the usage of our website, mobile sites and mobile apps. For details on our use of data collection methods, please see our Privacy Policy (https://www.sf-express.com/cn/en/Privacy_Policy/). Details of our use of cookies and similar technologies and how to control some of these are outlined below.

What are cookies?

A cookie is a small text file that is stored by your browser, and allows it to remember information between web pages and browser sessions. SF uses a number of "first party" cookies - generated and used by the SF website – and some "third party" cookies – deployed on our site by third parties. They enable us to remember your choices as you go through the site, remember your customer details and display appropriate content based on your selected options and journey. They also help us to understand user behaviour within our website, which means we can make the experience better for you.

Cookies are secure – they can only store information that is put there by the browser, which is information the user has entered into the browser or that is included in the page request. They cannot run code. If a website encrypts the information in the cookie, only that website can read the information.

There are two different types of cookies: Session and Persistent. They are used for different things and contain different information.

Session cookies contain information that is used within your current browser session. These cookies are automatically deleted when you close your browser. Nothing from these cookies persists on your device after the time you spend on the website.

Persistent cookies are used to hold information that is used between visits. This data allows websites to recognise that you are a returning customer and react accordingly. Persistent cookies have a lifetime value that is set by the website, which can vary between a few minutes or several years.
