  • The other type is called a session cookie. While the visitor browses the website, a file is stored temporarily on your computer. Session cookies are deleted when the user closes the browser window. No personal information such as email or name is stored.

Both cookies are used on the Invest in Skåne website. Our purpose is to gain insight into visitor behaviour with the goal to improve structure, navigation and content. Next chapter describes which cookies Invest in Skåne are using.
