Some of our cookies are used to ensure that Star Trading AB's services function properly, while others are mainly used to improve your experience when using Star Trading AB's services and our websites. Cookies are also used to collect information about how the website is used.

What are cookies?
A cookie is a small text file which a website asks to store on a visitor’s computer, tablet or mobile phone. Many websites use cookies to give visitors access to different functions. The information in a cookie can also be used to track users’ browsing behaviour on websites using the same cookie.
Standard cookies can be divided into two main types. One type stores a file on your computer for an extended period of time. This type of cookie has an expiry date. It is used for functions such as letting you know what’s changed since you last visited the website in question. Once the expiry date has passed, the cookie is deleted from your computer and re-created the next time you visit the website.
The other type of cookie is session cookies. These do not have an expiry date. When you are browsing a website, this type of cookie is temporarily stored on your computer in order to keep track of what language you have chosen etc. Session cookies are not stored on your computer for any extended period of time, and instead vanish once you close your browser.
You can read more on the Swedish Post and Telecom Authority’s page on Cookies.
What are cookies used for?
Below are a few examples of what cookies can be used for:
Cookies are often used for logging in to websites. When you log in to a website as a user, a cookie is placed on your computer. Every time to you navigate to a new page, your computer sends the cookie to the website you are visiting. Using this cookie, the website can confirm that you are logged in, meaning you don’t have to use your username and password for each new page.
Websites that sell products use cookies to make shopping smoother. These website can use cookies to keep track of which items you have “placed in your basket”.
Websites can also use cookies to record which users have visited which pages. This information can then be used to personalise advertising and other tailored content to you as an individual user. Many cookies used for these purposes are known as third-party cookies.
Cookies can be used if you want to tailor websites to your own user preferences. This might be about your preferred layout for a website you visit frequently, adapting contrast or font size for ergonomic reasons, or personalised filters or sorting.
Cookies can also be used to keep track of who is voting in polls so that users cannot vote multiple times.
Most websites monitor their traffic through web statistics so that they can improve their website, justify costs, and learn more about their target groups. Lots of cookies used for web statistics are third-party cookies.
What types of cookies does Star Trading AB use and for what purposes?

Star Trading AB primarily uses four categories of cookies, divided into two types of cookies, session cookies or permanent cookies (also known as persistent cookies):
Necessary cookies
Necessary cookies are cookies which are required so that Star Trading AB can operate its website. Necessary cookies make it possible for us to provide basic functions such as page navigation and access. The website wouldn’t work without these cookies. Hence the name, necessary cookies.
Functional cookies
Functional cookies are cookies which make it possible to save your preferred settings and to autofill your information. Without functional cookies, we wouldn’t be able to tailor our services to your preferences. Functional cookies are required to help make your experience as simple and smooth as possible. Functional cookies are connected to sections we have built ourselves in order to improve your experience on our website and so on. Our favourites list is one example of a function that wouldn’t work as well if you rejected this cookie.
Analytical cookies
Analytical cookies are cookies which provide broad analytical information regarding visitors’ use of Star Trading AB’s services. The information these cookies provide is anonymous and is used for statistical purposes. Google Analytics, which helps to analyse and collect data, uses analytical cookies to give us statistics which we can use to improve your experience of our website.
Marketing cookies
Marketing cookies collect information on your interests and activities and are used to show you personalised marketing.

We do this via Google Analytics.
