What is a cookie? A cookie is a small file, often composed of letters and numbers, that loads into computers when users access certain websites. Cookies enable websites to recognize users' computers. For more information about cookies, see www.allaboutcookies.org.
We use cookies on the website to ensure the best possible user experience.

What are the different types of cookies? Session cookies enable websites to connect to your activities during a browsing session. They are used for many purposes, such as remembering what a user has placed in a shopping cart while on a website. Session cookies may also be used for safety purposes. Session cookies are generally deleted when you leave a website and are therefore not saved for a long time. Persistent cookies are stored on the user's computer and remember the user's choices or actions on the website.
Furthermore, cookies are either first-party cookies or third-party cookies. The domain of the website that makes the cookie determines whether it is considered a first- or third-party cookie.

Those who fear cookies and wish to disconnect them can do so in browser settings. It should be noted that the gorillavoruhus.is website does not guarantee the accuracy or security of the content of third-party sites.
