Policy and Cookies

POLICY AND COOKIES
Cookies are small text files that are sent to and stored on your device (mobile, computer, or tablet) and are commonly found on the internet. Some are necessary for you to fully use the website’s functionality, while others are used to enhance your user experience and facilitate navigation on the website.

There are two types of cookies; permanent and temporary (so-called session cookies). Permanent cookies are stored as a file on your device for an extended period to customize the website according to your preferences, choices, and interests. They are used, for example, for functions that indicate what is new since you last visited the site. Once the expiration date has passed, the cookie is deleted when you return to the website that created it. Session cookies are temporarily placed on your computer when you visit the site and are sent between your computer and the server while you are on the website and are deleted when you close your browser. They are used, for example, to keep track of which language you have chosen.

Some examples of what cookies can be used for:

When you log in to a website, a cookie is placed on your computer. For each page browse, your computer sends the cookie to the site you are visiting and with the help of the cookie, the site can confirm that you are logged in and you don’t need to provide the username and password for each new page.
When you want to tailor websites according to your preferences. This can involve the design on a site you frequently visit, custom contrast or font size, or customized sorting or selection.
On websites that sell services, cookies are used to make booking or ordering convenient.
Register which individuals have visited which pages on a site. This information can then be used to choose the right advertisement or otherwise tailor the pages the user sees. Many cookies used for advertising and tailored content are third-party cookies.
Track traffic through statistics to improve the website and learn more about different target groups. Many cookies used for statistics are third-party cookies.
Keep track of language preferences, booking codes, or membership levels.

DIFFERENT TYPES OF COOKIES
Cookies can be categorized depending on their function.
Necessary: These are necessary for certain functions to work. This applies, for example, to logging in to Skogen Hotel and in connection with payment, to identify and verify the user. If you deny these cookies, you will not be able to use the intended functionality.
Presentation and function: These make your use of the site easier and more personal. For example, to customize information and offers to things you have previously shown interest in. These cookies are also used to collect information (e.g., popular pages and user patterns) about Skogen Hotel visitors’ use of the site so that Skogen Hotel can improve the site and Skogen Hotel digital services. If you deny these cookies, the functionality of Skogen Hotel’s digital services will be limited.
Marketing: These are often third-party cookies, i.e., they are not set by Skogen Hotel but by one of Skogen Hotel’s partners. These cookies use information about your use of Skogen Hotel and other sites, e.g., sites you visit or ads you respond to, to later provide ads that are more tailored for you, both on Hotell Laponia and other sites. These ads are called ”interest-based ads” because the aim is for you to only see ads that match your interests. If you deny these cookies, you risk impairing your user experience.

If, despite this, you do not want to allow cookies, you can refuse cookies in your browser’s settings and delete cookies stored on your hard drive.
