What is a cookie?

A cookie is a small text file which the website you visit saves on your computer (or corresponding device with internet connection such as a tablet or smart phone). Cookies are used to make a website function more effectively, but also to provide our website with certain types of information. Cookies enable a website to distinguish between visitors, which makes it possible to offer each user a more positive website visit. Cookies allow the website to remember the choices you have made, such as forms you have completed and your language settings so that you don’t need to reset the same information every time you visit the site.

Cookies on Qnister.com

There are two types of cookies, persistent cookies and session cookies. Qnister’s website uses both types of cookie. Persistent cookies are stored as a file on your computer for a certain period of time until you or the server which sent the cookies, erases them. Session cookies are only stored temporarily while you are visiting the website and are erased when you close the browser.

We use cookies to identify you as a unique user and to make certain activities on the website easier. Cookies are used, amongst other things, to provide us with statistics and information on how many visitors we’ve had to the website and which pages they visited. These statistics then become an important part of our work in improving the website. We do not store any information from your browser, such as IP address and which pages you visit, to log files on our servers. Therefore, the information we collect from cookies cannot be connected to your identity.

Qnister’s website may contain content and sharing tools embedded from various social networks, such as LinkedIn, Facebook and/or Instagram. These networks/suppliers may use and place cookies on Qnisters’ website. Qnister does not have access to, and cannot control, these cookies or the personal data and information which they may collect. You therefore need to check the websites of these networks/suppliers to get further information on how they manage cookies, what information their cookies collect and how they can be erased.
