What are cookies and what are they used for?

Cookies are small text files that are sent to and stored on your device (mobile phone, PC or tablet). This is common on the web, enabling the website you are visiting to remember your actions and preferences over time, and to record how often you visit the website. Some cookies are necessary to enable you to utilize the full functionality of the website, whereas others are used to improve your user experience and to simplify navigation on the website.

There are two types of cookies: permanent and temporary (so-called session cookies). Temporary cookies are deleted when you close your browser, and are used, among other things, to register that a user is visiting the website and the choices made by the user. Permanent cookies are stored as a file on your device for longer periods in order to adjust the website to your desires, choices and interests. For example, they may be used by features telling you what’s new since your last visit to the website, and to keep track of your choice of language.

Some examples of what cookies may be used for:

• Remember log-in information. A cookie is placed on your device when you log in to a website. Each time you enter a new page, your device will send a cookie to the website you are visiting, and by using the cookie, the website may decide whether you are logged in, so you don’t have to enter your user name and password each time you switch pages.
• Tailor the website to your usage. This may be related to the design of a website you are frequently visiting, adjusted contrasts and font sizes, or tailored sorting and selection.
• On websites that sell services, cookies are used to simplify ordering.
• To record which persons are visiting which pages of the website. This information may then be used to select appropriate advertising or tailor the pages that the user can see. Many of the cookies that are used for advertising and to tailor content, are third party cookies.
• To monitor traffic through statistics, in order to improve the website and learn more about different audiences. Many statistical cookies are also third party cookies.
