"Use of Cookies on etthusisolen.se"
A cookie is a small text file or data file - a code - that a website saves on the user's computer, tablet, or phone, used to interact with the website. Virtually all websites use cookies today.
Some cookies are necessary for the website to function. A cookie is a passive file that cannot collect information from the user's computer, spread computer viruses, or otherwise distribute harmful programs. However, a cookie is used to recognize the computer; this can, for example, determine how many guests you wish to search for accommodation. Other cookies are used only to compile statistics on how the website is used. A cookie can only be read by the one who placed it on the computer, meaning that other websites cannot obtain information from that specific cookie.
There are also other technologies, like cookies, that save data locally. Among them is LocalStorage, which is part of the HTML5 standard. This allows saving data locally on your computer. Unlike cookies, LocalStorage can only be accessed by the domain that established it. LocalStorage is also only available when the website requests it, unlike cookies that are sent when the user makes a request. There are different categories of cookies: Session cookies that are automatically deleted when the browser is closed. Persistent cookies that are normally stored on the hard drive. They are set with an expiration date so that they exist for shorter or longer periods. Own cookies, also called first-party cookies, are created by the page the user visits. Third-party cookies are created by a third party that has elements on the website; it can, for example, be a web analytics program.
The purpose of cookies on our website can be divided into three categories:
Necessary cookies: These cookies are necessary for the website to function. These include cookies that enable the identification of a session, allowing the user to retain their journey while navigating the site.
Statistics cookies: These help us understand how the user interacts with our website. We use this knowledge to optimize our site, improving the user experience.
Saved housing cookies: These are used to save homes that you have liked to be able to access your saved homes at a later time. Since they are saved locally, we cannot see which homes you have saved.
Third-party cookies The following entities save cookies as a result of us using their tools:
- Google Inc.

Users can configure their browser to block cookies. The browser can also be set to have the user continuously accept or reject the use of cookies. However, it should be noted that blocking cookies can impair the website's user-friendliness and some features on the website, such as when searching for homes.
