1. What are cookies
Cookies are small text files placed on your device by websites you visit. They help websites remember information about your visit (such as your language preference or whether you’re signed in). Similar technologies include local storage and pixels.
2. Categories of cookies we use
Strictly necessary
Required for the site or platform to function — for example, keeping you signed in or remembering your cookie consent. These cannot be turned off.
Functional
Remember your preferences (language, theme) so the experience stays consistent.
Analytics
Aggregated, privacy-friendly analytics that help us improve the product. We use providers that allow EU hosting and avoid cross-site tracking. These are only set with your consent.
Marketing
We currently do not set advertising or cross-context behavioural cookies. If we ever do, we will ask for your consent first and update this page.

We rely on the strictly necessary exemption under Article 5(3) of the ePrivacy Directive (as implemented in Sweden) for essential cookies, and on your consent (Article 6(1)(a) GDPR) for analytics and any future marketing cookies.
5. How to control cookies
- Cookie banner: when consent is required, you can accept, reject, or customise non-essential cookies. You can update your choices at any time from the “Cookie preferences” link in the footer.
- Browser controls: most browsers let you block or delete cookies. See aboutcookies.org for guides.
- Do Not Track: we honour browser-level signals indicating opt-out of analytics.
Blocking strictly necessary cookies will break parts of the platform (e.g. signing in).
