This website uses cookies

We use cookies on our websites to make your user experience as good as possible. A cookie is a small text file that is saved on your computer when you visit a website.

Our cookies

We use cookies to collect statistics about how our websites are used. This allows us to improve and adapt our services to your needs. We also use cookies that facilitate your visit to our website. For example, it may be that choices you make are saved, or that your most common travel searches are shown as suggestions, as well as for for login to work.

Types of cookies

We use functionality cookies and session cookies. Functionality cookies are stored on your computer for a certain period of time, until you or the server delete them. Session cookies are temporarily saved on your computer and are deleted when you close your browser.

In addition, cookies can be divided into several groups based on their function: strictly necessary, functional and analytical cookies.

Strictly necessary cookies

Strictly necessary cookies are files that are absolutely essential for the main functions of the website. Without them, the site cannot function as intended. Among other things, they ensure compliance with safety requirements. These cookies collect anonymous information (which cannot be used to identify you) and cannot track your actions on other websites. They are stored only for the duration of the session and therefore belong to the category of session cookies. Your consent to the use of these cookies is not required.

At Västtrafik we use the following strictly necessary cookies:

Tabell över cookies
Name	Description	Type	Expiration
TSXXXXXXXX	Keeping track of the session	Strictly necessary	Session
url-ssl-ssl-2-ext-got-adc-insert	Keeping track of the session	Strictly necessary	Session
.AspNetCore.Antiforgery.#	Protects the user against cross-site request forgery (CSRF)	Strictly necessary	Session
vt-cookie-consent	Keeping track of cookie choices made	Strictly necessary	Constant

Another type of necessary coookies is analytics cookies. Analytics cookies are files that collect information about how the visitor uses the website. For example, which page the user visits most often, whether any error messages appear, and so on. These cookies do not store any other information. We use them to improve user-friendliness and to adapt the website to a specific user. This information is also stored only in anonymous form.

We use the analysis tool Matomo to collect information about how our websites are used. By knowing how you as a visitor use our services, we can develop and improve them. We also use them in certain types of marketing to count how many people have opened a page.

Examples of such cookies on Västtrafik's website are:

Functional cookies

Functional cookies are files that are not strictly necessary for the use of the website. However, they perform important tasks that improve navigation for browsers. These cookies ensure, for example, that the settings you choose, such as the choice of language, are saved. The information they contain is only used for that particular website.
