We use cookies on Scandinaviantrust.se for the following purposes:

a) Essential / strictly necessary cookies

These cookies are required for the Website to function correctly. They are typically set in response to actions made by you, such as navigating between pages, sending forms or adjusting privacy preferences. You cannot disable these cookies via our Website, but you can block them in your browser settings (which may cause parts of the Website to not function properly).

We do not use cookies for targeted advertising, remarketing or to sell your data to third parties.

3. Google Analytics

Our Website uses Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google LLC and/or its affiliates ("Google"). Google Analytics uses cookies to help us analyse how visitors use the Website.

The information generated by these cookies about your use of the Website (including, in some cases, your IP address) may be transmitted to and stored by Google on servers that may be located outside the EU/EEA. Where technically possible and appropriate, we configure Google Analytics to enhance privacy, for example by:

  • Limiting the data we send to Google to what is necessary for statistics.
  • Setting data retention periods that are aligned with our business and legal needs.

Google processes this information on our behalf to provide us with reports and statistics. For further information on how Google processes personal data, please refer to Google's own privacy documentation.
