Copenhagen City’s cookie policy
Cookies are small text files that collect data on the user and can, for instance, also be used to enhance the user experience of a website.
We use three types of cookies: The necessary cookies, which cannot be deselected, ensure that the website is working, whereas the other types, functional and statistical cookies, have different purposes and can be deselected.
You can opt out of cookies. You do this via the cookie banner, which you meet when entering the website. In this case, it should be noted that certain elements might not function.
We will not place any cookies unless you accept the use of cookies via the buttons in our cookie banner. You can always change your cookie choice by following the link ‘Cookie settings’ which you find at the bottom of the website.
We look after your data
We are very careful with respect to ensuring that the gathered data will only be used internally – such as for the purpose of displaying video and interactive maps on the website and to enhance the general user experience.
We have entered into data-processing agreements with our providers in order that they take good care of your data.
Learn more about the specific cookies under the heading “show cookie declaration” in the website’s cookie banner. Here you will also find privacy notices for each of our suppliers.
In Copenhagen City’s privacy policy (in Danish), you can find more general information on how we process personal data.
The Danish Business Authority (in Danish), the main and supervisory authority within the area, is monitoring compliance with the cookie rules.
