SCFMI LLC (“we”, “us”, or “our”) operates the website SCFMI (the “Site”), which provides free articles and recommendations about travel experiences. This Cookies Policy explains how and why we use cookies and similar technologies on the Site, what types we employ, and how you can manage them. We aim to keep things simple and transparent since our Site is designed for open reading without any login, payment, or account creation.
What Are Cookies
Cookies are small text files that websites place on your device (computer, phone, tablet) when you visit them. They help the site remember information about your visit so it can function better, feel more consistent, or provide basic analytics to the owners. Similar technologies include web beacons, pixels, local storage, and session identifiers — we refer to all of them collectively as “cookies” in this policy for simplicity.
Cookies We Use on the Site
Our Site uses only a minimal set of cookies necessary for basic operation and anonymous usage insights. We do not use cookies for personalized advertising, behavioral tracking across other websites, or building detailed user profiles.
Essential / Strictly Necessary Cookies
These cookies are required for the Site to work properly. They enable core functions like page loading, navigation between sections, and remembering basic preferences (for example, whether you have dismissed a temporary notice banner). These cookies do not collect information that identifies you personally and cannot be disabled without breaking parts of the Site.
Performance and Analytics Cookies
We use a limited number of these to understand how visitors interact with the Site in aggregate. This includes which pages are viewed most often, how long people stay on the Site, what devices and browsers are used, and general geographic regions (country level only, never precise location). The data is anonymized — we do not tie it to individuals or combine it with other information to identify anyone. These insights help us improve content layout, fix technical issues, and ensure the Site loads quickly for everyone.
We do not use third-party analytics services that track users across the internet or share detailed visitor data with advertising networks.
No Marketing or Targeting Cookies
The Site does not place or allow any cookies used for marketing, retargeting, personalized ads, social media tracking, or cross-site profiling. You will not see interest-based advertisements from us or our partners based on your browsing behavior here.
Third-Party Content and Links
Some articles may include embedded content or links to external websites (for example, maps, photos, or travel-related resources hosted elsewhere). Those third-party sites may set their own cookies when you interact with their content. We have no control over those cookies and are not responsible for their privacy practices. We encourage you to check the privacy and cookies policies of any external site you visit through our links.
How to Manage or Disable Cookies
You can control cookies through your browser settings at any time. Most browsers allow you to:
view what cookies are stored on your device
delete individual cookies or all of them
block cookies from being set in the future
receive a notification before a cookie is placed
Please note that disabling or blocking essential cookies may prevent the Site from functioning correctly (pages might load slowly, navigation could break, or certain elements might not display). Blocking analytics cookies will not affect your ability to read content but will limit our ability to understand and improve the Site.
Instructions for common browsers are usually found in the “Help” or “Settings” section. For mobile devices, check the browser app settings or your device’s privacy controls.
Changes to This Cookies Policy
We may update this policy occasionally to reflect changes in technology, our practices, or legal requirements. The revised version will appear here with an updated “Last updated” date. We recommend checking back periodically if cookie management is important to you.
