Cookie Policy

This cookie policy describes how Railcare Group AB (publ), corporate identity number 556730-7813, Box 34, SE-932 21 Skelleftehamn, Sweden, hereinafter “Railcare”, “we” or “us”, uses cookies and similar technologies on www.railcare.se.

Under the Swedish Electronic Communications Act (2022:482), we may store cookies on your device without your consent only if they are necessary for the website to function. For all other cookies, we need your consent. It is up to you whether you accept them, and you can change or withdraw your consent at any time via the “Cookie settings” link at the bottom of the website.

Railcare is the data controller for the use of cookies on the website and for the processing of personal data carried out through them. For the collection of data via the Meta Pixel and the LinkedIn Insight Tag, and its transfer to Meta and LinkedIn respectively, Railcare is a joint controller with the respective provider. Meta and LinkedIn are themselves responsible for how they process the data once they have received it.

1. What is a cookie?

Cookies are small text files that a website stores on your computer, mobile phone or tablet. They are used, for example, to make the website work, to remember your choices and to measure and tailor marketing.

There are also other technologies with a similar function, such as pixels (small invisible images) and scripts that load code from another provider. In this policy, we use the word “cookies” for both cookies and such similar technologies.

Cookies can be:

  • Session cookies, which are deleted when you close your browser.
  • Persistent cookies, which remain on your device for a set period or until you delete them.
  • First-party cookies, which are set by railcare.se.
  • Third-party cookies, which are set by another company, such as Meta or LinkedIn.

2. Which cookies we use and why

We use two categories of cookies on www.railcare.se. A full list is provided in Appendix 1.

Necessary cookies are needed for the website to function and for us to be able to save your cookie choices. They do not require consent and cannot be switched off.

Marketing cookies are used, if you consent, to measure the effectiveness of our advertising and campaigns and to show you more relevant ads on Facebook, Instagram and LinkedIn. We use two tools:

  • Meta Pixel from Meta Platforms Ireland Ltd (Facebook and Instagram).
  • LinkedIn Insight Tag from LinkedIn Ireland Unlimited Company.

Among other things, the tools record which pages you visit, when the visit takes place, information about your browser and device, and your IP address. If you are logged in to Facebook, Instagram or LinkedIn at the same time, the provider may link the visit to your account. Railcare does not have access to data that identifies you personally, only to aggregated statistics and the ability to target ads to groups of visitors.

Marketing cookies are not loaded until you have given your consent. The legal basis for the processing is your consent under Article 6(1)(a) of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).

3. Transfers to countries outside the EU/EEA

Meta and LinkedIn may transfer data to their group companies in the United States. Such transfers are based on the European Commission’s adequacy decision for the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework, to which both companies have signed up, or on the European Commission’s standard contractual clauses. Read more in each provider’s privacy policy:

4. How to manage and delete cookies

You can change or withdraw your consent at any time by clicking the “Cookie settings” link at the bottom of the website. Withdrawing your consent does not affect processing carried out before you withdrew it.

You can also block or delete cookies in your browser settings. How to do this is described in your browser’s help section. Please note that cookies already stored are not deleted automatically when you withdraw your consent; they must be deleted in your browser. If you block necessary cookies, parts of the website may stop working.

You can also control how Meta and LinkedIn use data for advertising in the ad settings of your accounts with them.

5. Your rights

When we process personal data through cookies, you have the right, among other things, to request access to, rectification of and erasure of your data. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with the Swedish Authority for Privacy Protection (IMY), www.imy.se. Read more about your rights in our privacy policy.

6. Changes to this cookie policy

We may update this cookie policy, for example if we start using new cookies or if laws and regulations change. The latest version is always available at www.railcare.se. In the event of material changes, we will ask for your consent again.

7. More information

General information about cookies is available on the website of the Swedish Post and Telecom Authority (PTS), www.pts.se.

Marketing

Marketing cookies are used to measure and tailor advertising on other platforms and to provide aggregated statistics about visitors. They are only set if you consent.
