Heimstaden AB, Reg. No. 556670-0455, (”Heimstaden”) uses

What is a cookie?
A cookie is a small text file that makes it possible to identify visitors to
a website. A cookie is stored in your unit (for example smart phone, reading
tablet, or computer) and makes it possible for the website to recognize you
upon your next visit of the website. Cookies are often categorized based on
their origin, but also based on to what extent they are stored in your web
browser. A cookie may either be sent to you from the website you are
visiting (so called first-party cookies) or from another
organisation providing services to the website, such as analysis and
statistics companies (so called third-party cookies).
Cookies can also be categorised as session cookies or
persistent cookies
. A session cookie is sent to your computer for the webpages to function
properly during your visit and is not retained on your computer. Instead it
is erased when you close your web browser. The function of a session cookie
is for example that it is activated when you return to a previously visited
part of the website and thus facilitates your navigation on the website. A
persistent cookie is in contrast stored in your web browser and thus allows
for a web page to recognise your computer’ s IP address even if you turn off
your computer or log out between visits.
Cookies on the Website
We use cookies on the Website to make your visit on the Website as pleasant
and smooth as possible. The cookies we use assist us to manage user access,
to ensure that a user reaches the correct server, and that the Website works
in a safe manner.
We also use cookies to analyse how you as a visitor use the Website for the
purpose of developing and improving our Website.
For more information about our processing of personal data related to our
use of cookies, please see our privacy statement available on our Website.
Your consent to our use of cookies
When you visit the Website for the first time, we will ask for your consent
to our use of cookies that are not necessary for the Website to function.
This consent is obtained in relation to cookies which are used for
statistical and analytical purpose. It is voluntarily to consent, and you
have the right to withdraw your consent at any time. Other types of cookies
that we use on our Website are necessary for the Website’s basic functions
and are activated automatically even if you do not consent to our use of
other types of cookies.
Settings in your browser
You also have the option to prevent necessary cookies from being activated
by shutting off cookies in your browser’s safety settings. Please note that
most browsers have a standard setting accepting the use of cookies, but you
can easily refrain from allowing websites to activate and store cookies on
your unit by making a setting in your browser, including blocking cookies or
erasing cookies already stored in the unit.
How you do this depends on what means of communication you are using. If you
are using:
-
a smart phone, you usually change the settings in your phone’s web
browser,
-
a reading tablet, you usually change the settings in the operating
system, and
-
a computer, you may change the settings in your computer’s web browser.
Please note that if you choose to deactivate cookies in your web browser,
this may entail that cookies which are necessary for the Website’s basic
functions are shut off. This means that your browser may stop functioning in
a safe and secure manner and that some services may not be provided.
