What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files containing information that are downloaded to or stored on the user’s computer or other device used to access our website. These are placed by Eckerö Linjen or one of our partners, and saved on your device. Cookies are used to make websites function more effectively by e.g. simplifying log-in and in order to give certain information to the owner concerning how the website is used.
Which types of cookies and similar techniques does Eckerö Linjen use?
We use various different cookies:
• Session cookies, which are temporary cookies that are deleted when you close your web browser or app. We use session cookies to, among other things, determine which language you have selected.
• Permanent cookies, i.e. cookies that remain on your computer until you remove them, or they expire. How long a permanent cookie is stored depends on the specific cookie’s lifetime and the settings in your web browser. We use permanent cookies to, among other things, make it easier to log in.
• First-party cookies are cookies we have added to the website that you visit, i.e. Eckerö Linjen.

Why do we use cookies?
Eckerö Linjen uses cookies for several reasons. The cookies which we use normally improve the services we offer to you. Some of our services actually need cookies in order to function, while others exist in order to make our services more accessible to you. In general, we categorise our cookies and their use as follows:
• Necessary cookies, i.e. cookies required to be able to offer our basic services, e.g. log-in. Our services would not be able to function without these cookies.
• Analysis cookies that provide overall analytical information concerning your use of our services. Our services would not function properly without these cookies.
• Function cookies that enable us to save such settings as the language chosen, or whether to pre-complete your personal details or not. Without these types of cookies, we would not be able to customise our services to your requirements. These cookies are important, since a fundamental aspect of our service is that you experience them to be as simple and flexible as possible.
• Security cookies to keep our services and your data safe and secure, by helping us to discover fraud and protect your data. These cookies are an important part of our services.
