This section is about what cookies are, how they are used at this site and how you can manage them for both this site and other websites you might use.
Cookies are tiny text files that are stored on your computer, tablet or mobile phone when you visit a website and they contain information. Almost all websites do use cookies. Without cookies, websites and their servers have no memory and every time you open a new web page the server where that page is stored will treat you like a completely new visitor.
There are two different types of cookies, session cookies and persistent cookies:
Session cookies are only used during your stay at the site and vanish when you close your browser.
Persistent cookies are stored for a longer time and that mean that the website will remember you and how you have used the site every time you come back. How long a persistent cookie remains on your browser depends on how long the visited website has programmed the cookie to last. You can manually erase persistent cookies from your device.
Most browsers support cookies, but you can set your browser to decline them and can delete them whenever you like. The browser can also be set to warn you when a website is about to set a cookie on your device. For more information, please view your browser's help pages.
I use very few cookies and only session cookies. For instance cookies are of help when I ask if you accept the use of cookies. These cookies will only be active until you leave this site and close your browser. Therefore, when you restart your browser and come back, this website will not recognize you and again you will be asked if you agree to the use of cookies even if you have accepted them at an earlier visit. Session cookies are also activated if you use the search function or login form at the Swedish section of this site, or if you use any of the contact forms.
Please note that without the use of these cookies some features do not function properly or will not be available to you.
When functions from sites like Facebook, Linkedin and Youtube is included, cookies will be set from them. For more information, please visit their site and read their cookie policy.
