Cookie and privacy policy

Introduction

When you visit our website, information about you is collected and used to customize and improve our content and to increase the value of the ads displayed on the site. If you do not want information to be collected, you should delete your cookies and refrain from further use of the website. Below, we have provided more details about what information is collected, its purpose, and which third parties have access to it.

What is a cookie?

A cookie is a small data file that is sent to your browser and stored there so that a website can recognize your computer. All websites can send cookies to your browser if your browser settings allow it. Websites can only read information from cookies they have stored themselves and cannot read cookies from other websites. There are two types of cookies: persistent and temporary (session) cookies. Persistent cookies are stored as a file on your computer for a longer period of time. Session cookies are placed temporarily on your computer when you visit a website, but disappear when you close the site, meaning they are not permanently stored on your computer. Most companies use cookies on their websites to improve user-friendliness, and cookies cannot harm your files or increase the risk of viruses on your computer.

What do we use cookies for?

Many functions on a website depend on a cookie being placed when a user visits the site, so first and foremost we use cookies to ensure the website functions properly. In addition, we use both first-party and third-party cookies to improve the user experience on our website and to provide relevant marketing. When a third-party cookie is set, it means that we have allowed a third party—such as a social media platform, Google Analytics, or similar—to place a cookie in your browser when you visit our website.

On our website we use the following types of cookies:

Necessary/Technical

Technical cookies are necessary for most websites to function properly. As the name suggests, they serve a purely technical purpose and therefore do not affect your privacy, as they do not record what you search for on other websites.

Functional

Functional cookies are used to remember your user preferences by storing the choices and settings you make on the website—for example, your preferences regarding language and text size.

Statistic

Statistics cookies are used to optimize the design, usability, and efficiency of a website. The information collected may, for example, be used in analyses of which content is most popular on the site, helping us understand what should be easy to find.

Marketing

Marketing cookies collect information by tracking you across the websites you visit and can be said to record the digital footprints you leave behind. Marketing cookies are therefore “tracking cookies.” The information collected is used to build an overview of your interests, habits, and activities in order to show you relevant ads for things you have previously shown interest in. This way, you receive more targeted content, for example in the form of suggested information, articles, and advertisements.

Newsmail

When you subscribe to our newsletter, we inform you that you also grant us permission to use tracking pixels. Tracking pixels are files embedded in an email that allow us to collect information about the recipient. For example, they enable us to see whether an email has been opened and read or whether it has remained unread.
