1. What is a cookie?
Cookies are used today in connection with almost all websites and, in many cases, they are necessary to provide services on the website.

A cookie is a small text file that is saved on the user's IT device (PC, tablet, smartphone, etc.) so that the device can be recognised. Cookies can be used, among other things, to keep statistics on the ways in which visitors use the website, and to optimise the site's contents. A cookie is a passive file and can therefore not be used to collect data from the user's computer or spread computer viruses or other harmful programs. Some cookies are installed by parties (or "third parties") other than the owner of the website that appears in the address bar (the URL) of the browser. Such cookies may feature ordinary content, but also analytic tools or embedded comment fields. This means that cookies are saved from parties other than the one who owns the website.

Some cookies are only saved on the user's IT equipment for as long as the user has their browser open (session cookies). Other cookies are saved for longer periods of time (persistent cookies). When the user returns to a website, session cookies will be re-installed, while persistent cookies are typically refreshed.

3. Cookies on the website for the Bitten & Mads Clausen's Foundation
At the Bitten & Mads Clausen's Foundation, we use cookies to monitor the ways in which our website is used. The data used in the statistics is anonymous and therefore cannot be traced to specific users.

We use the following types of cookies on the Bitten & Mads Clausen's Foundation website:

First-party cookies
First-party cookies are used on the webpage you visit – in this case, www.bmcfond.dk. We use cookies on our website in order to collect statistics on the use of the website so that we can continually improve the user experience by monitoring what type of content is in demand. We only use a sub-supplier to process the data in special situations.

Bmcfond.dk never saves data that can identify you personally without your consent, and this type of data is never passed on to third parties. 

Third-party cookies
These cookies originate from a third party, such as a web analytics program like Google Analytics, which analyses the ways in which visitors use our website. The data collected by the cookie regarding your use (which includes traffic data and your IP address) is sent to and saved on Google's servers in the United States.

You may decline the use of cookies from Google Analytics here: http://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout

4. How long are cookies stored?
A cookie's lifetime can vary. Some disappear when you close the browser, while others can remain in place for years. Cookies typically "live" for up to two years, but the lifetime is most often extended following each visit to the website. In other words, if you visit a website again after six months, the cookie's lifetime is extended by two years from the date on which you revisit the site.

You can delete cookies from your computer at any time.

5. How do I remove/prevent cookies?
