Session cookies

SiteVision CMS

A site based on SiteVision uses the session cookie JSESSIONID to identify logged in users and give correct permissions. The cookie is created by the web server Tomcat to bind the user to a session. The session is then used by SiteVision for a variety of things related to the user.

Anonymous visitors can easily turn off cookies in their browser. Users who are logged into edit mode must allow session cookies to edit content.

SiteVision Cloud uses the unique SiteVisionLTM cookie. It sets load balancers to keep track of which underlying server the client should address. It does not track the visitors behaviour.

Matomo

We use the web analysis software Matomo to collect information about how visitors use the site, such as page views and visits. The information is used to improve the website and optimize the user experience. The cookies are:

  • _pk_ses - saved for 30 minutes. Tells Matomo how many visits the site receives.
  • _pk_ref - saved for 6 months. Tells Matomo from where the user comes.
  • _pk_id - saved for 6 months. Tells Matomo, among other things, if the user is a recurring user.

The data collected in Matomo is anonymized so that we can never identify an individual. We also never share this data with third parties. All services used for data collection are operated in environments that are within Sweden's borders.

If you do not want to be tracked by Matomo, you can turn on the Do Not Track setting in your browser.
