For us at Rugvista it’s important to be completely transparent, both in how we work and how we handle the information we collect. We want to clarify why we process cookies on our website, what your rights are and what our obligations are to you as a visitor.

What are cookies?

Cookies consist of small text files. The text files contain data stored on the visitor’s computer. From time to time, the website requests data from the cookies the visitor has stored on their computer. Websites use cookies i.a. in order to store settings for how the website should be displayed to the visitor. Another common use of cookies is as part of collecting information about visitors’ behaviour.

Why does Rugvista use cookies?

The whole basic idea behind our website is to deliver as good an experience as possible for our visitors. We want, among other things, to be able to present tailor-made solutions and in-depth information, adapted to each person who uses the website. In order for us to be able to do that, we track how visitors click around and how to use the website. This means that we can later give suggestions for further reading in the specific subject or related areas.

It is of course possible to use our website without allowing us to store cookies. Then the experience will not be as personal and fantastic as it is meant to be.

What do Rugvista cookies use for?

Cookies are tracked using trackers, for different purposes. In our case, it is only a matter of offering the visitor a tailored experience of our website and to collect statistics regarding for example most visited pages and/or identify areas on the website where we can improve the content and functions.
