Cookies

A cookie is a small text file, containing information, which is stored on your computer and your mobile phone. No cookies are set when you use the Riksdag website. There are some functions for which cookies will be stored on your device, but only after you have given your active consent.

According to the Electronic Communications Act (SFS 2022:482), all visitors to a website that has cookies should be informed that the website contains cookies and why they are used. Visitors should also be given the opportunity to agree to the use of cookies.

On the Riksdag website, cookies are used for a small number of functions for purely technical reasons. Cookies are only used where necessary. If you do not wish to use a function that requires cookies, there are alternative ways. Information on this is available in connection with each function.

The Riksdag Administration reviews the website continuously to see whether any of the cookies used on the website can be removed. If a function can be used without cookies and it is possible to remove cookies without this resulting in unreasonable costs or poorer functioning for the user, this should be done.

At present, cookies are activated in connection with certain functions in the newsletters. This is what happens when you as the user

confirm that you wish to subscribe to a newsletter via the email sent out in the case of a new subscription
save customisations in the built-in accessibility service in newsletters that allow you to, for example, change the size of text or increase line spacing
choose to show the web version of the newsletter via the link in newsletters.

How cookies are used on the Riksdag website

Cookies are stored on your computer when you use the following functions:

book visits
order publications

play a YouTube video which is embedded on the website

Cookies are activated and stored when the function they are needed for is activated. All functions that use cookies are activated when you as the user take a specific measure, for example, when you click a button. Information about cookies is available on the pages containing the functions that use cookies. When you activate the function in question, you automatically give your consent to using cookies.

The Riksdag Administration does not store any personal information via cookies. Information about a visitor cannot be traced.

If you wish to avoid cookies

If you do not wish to receive cookies, you can adjust the settings in your web browser. However, this may mean that you will not have access to all the pages on the website.

You can adjust your web browser so that you automatically refuse all storage of cookies, or are informed every time a website asks to store a cookie on your computer. You can also delete cookies that have been stored earlier via your web browser. See the web browser's help pages for further information.
