AT KONSTAKADEMIEN.SE WE USE COOKIES

Konstakademien uses so-called cookies on the website konstakademien.se. A cookie is a small data file with text that is saved in your browser. We use cookies for technical reasons and to facilitate the visitor's activities on the website.

Cookies are also used to measure traffic on our website and for statistics.

There are two types of cookies, permanent cookies and session cookies. Permanent cookies are stored as a file on your computer or mobile phone for a certain period of time until you, or the server that sent them, deletes them. Session cookies are stored temporarily and disappear when you close your browser. A cookie can be set as a first-party cookie or a third-party cookie. First-party cookies are cookies set by the owner of the website (i.e. in this case konstakademien.se). Third-party cookies are set by another website.

How we use cookies
We use cookies so that you can use our website in the way we intended and to be able to provide you as a visitor with better service. Some cookies are required for our website, and our services to you, to function. These cookies are used e.g. to support multiple simultaneous visitors to the website and to identify the visitor so that choices you make on the website remain with you throughout the visit.

Cookies are also used to collect statistics on the number of visitors to the websites and to obtain information about how our websites are used and how we can improve them. This information enables us to develop and optimize our website.

Google Analytics
We use cookies to be able to provide you as a visitor with better service. Some cookies are also used to collect statistics on the number of visitors to the website, while others are used to collect information about which operating system and browser, as well as which versions of these, which visitors use, how our websites are used and how we can improve them, which pages that are popular and less popular, etc.
This information enables us to develop and optimize the website. These cookies are used to get a picture of how visitors use our website and thereby improve content, navigation and structure. The information collected in these cookies (including your IP address) is forwarded to and stored by Google Inc. on servers in the USA.

Google may transfer this information to third parties if required by law or in cases where a third party processes the information on Google's behalf. Google will not connect IP addresses with other data held by Google.
The Academy of Arts has set up Google Analytics so that the tool anonymizes the information stored by Google. This is done by Google Analytics truncating (removing) the last digits of the visitors' IP address before the information is stored by Google.

Social networks
On the Academy of Arts' website, content and sharing tools are embedded from social networks, for example from Instagram and Facebook. These suppliers may therefore use cookies on the website. Konstakademien has no access to, and cannot control, these cookies or the data they collect. You should check the relevant third party website(s) for further information about these cookies and how you can opt out of receiving them.
