3. Contact form
When you submit the contact form on the home page, the details you enter (name, email, phone number and message) are sent to the form-processing service Web3Forms so the message can be delivered to SP International. This happens only when you press Submit.
4. Links to other websites
Links such as “View Location” and our YouTube channel open third-party websites, which have their own cookie and privacy policies, for example Google’s privacy policy.
5. Managing your choice
You can change your choice at any time with the “Cookie settings” link in the footer. You can also delete cookies and local storage in your browser settings. Rejecting embedded content does not affect the rest of the website; the map and videos stay hidden.
