What is a cookie?

A cookie is a text file, that is stored on your computer, mobile or similar device. When visiting our website it is sent forth and back between your browser and a web server. It is used by AU or a third party, which is described more specific under the cookie descriptions at the bottom of this page. Cookies cannot contain malicious code such as virus.

Cookies can be either temporary or permanent. The temporary cookies are linked to one specific visit, and are deleted again when you close the website. The permanent cookie is saved on your computer, mobile or tablet for a period of time. How long the various cookies remain is described in the cookie descriptions at the bottom of the page. Each time you visit the website, however, the cookie will be renewed and the period will thus start all over again

What data is collected via cookies?

Most cookies collect anonymous data, such as the amount of time of your visit to the website, what pages you have visited, whether your computer, tablet or smartphone has used the pages before, which website you came from, which browser and operating system you use and the like.

In some cases, IP addresses are also collected, which are personally identifiable data. Therefore, you can also read our Privacy Policy (link), which tells how we at AU process personal information.

If any of the third party services, we use, process data on behalf of AU, we will, if possible, enter into a Data Processing Agreement with them. The supplier is thus not allowed to use the data for their own purposes or to pass them on to others.
