What is a cookie?

Cookies are small text files that are stored on your computer hard drive by websites that you visit. Cookies are used on many websites to give visitors access to various functions. The information in a cookie can be used to track a user’s browsing behaviour.

There are two types of cookies. One is a persistent cookie that is saved on a visitor’s computer until it expires or is deleted. Persistent cookies are used to collect identifying information about the user, such as web surfing behaviour or user preferences for a specific website.

The other type is known as a session cookie. While you are viewing a web page, this cookie is temporarily stored on your computer’s hard drive to customise information such as your language preferences. Session cookies are not stored permanently on your computer but disappear when you close your web browser. If you do not want to store cookies on your computer, you can inactivate cookies in your web browser. This means that no cookies will be stored, but also that you will not be able to use certain parts of the pages on Svensk Vindenergis website.

Are cookies harmful?

No, cookies are not harmful. A cookie is a text-only information file that cannot contain viruses. The files are very small and the web browser permits only a limited amount of cookies to be stored on the hard drive. As a result, there is no risk that your memory will fill up because you permit cookies. Cookies are used to provide better service to website visitors.
