What are cookies?
Sometimes we will send small files to your computer to ensure that this website is functioning in the best possible way. These files are called “Cookies”. Most websites are doing this.
We also use cookies to get information about how the website is being used.
Cookies are small text files which is stored on your computer, mobile or tablet when you visit a website. The cookies help the website to remember your settings (for example username, language, text size and other settings) for a chosen period of time. The idea is that you shouldn’t have to change your settings every time you visit the website, or when you navigate between different websites.
What do we do with the cookies?
GOOGLE ANALYTICS COOKIES
Google analytics is a Google tool for web analysis. This tool helps us to understand how our website is being used. It collects information about which pages are being visited, how long the visit lasts for, the number of visits on the website and what the source for the visit is (for example google search).
Your IP address is anonymised before it’s being sent to Google Analytics, so the information that is being sent doesn’t contain any information that can identify you as a user. We can therefore not trace actions back to individual users, but we can analyse the use of the website on a top line level.
The data which is retrieved is analysed by us so that we can improve the website to become more relevant and user friendly.
Google Analytics is using the following cookies:
__utm.gif
Duration: Session
The session expires 30 minutes after the last interaction with the website.
When you visit a website with Google Analytics a .gif picture of 1×1 pixel is stored on your web server. Data regarding this visit will be attached to this gif file and sent to Google Analytics. The information Google Analytics receives can for example look like this (Extract):
