This policy is intended to inform users of the website www.lagavita.is (also referred to as “you”) about Lagaviti’s (also referred to as “we” or “us”) use of cookies, in accordance with Act No. 70/2022 on Electronic Communications.

What are cookies?

 

Cookies enable websites to recognize users’ computers and smart devices. A cookie is therefore a kind of digital marker that remembers where you have been on the web. Cookies are text files that your web browser stores on your device, provided that your browser is configured to accept cookies. Cookies allow us to remember certain user preferences in order to improve the user experience and to obtain statistical information about the use of our website.

 

A distinction is made between session cookies and persistent cookies. Session cookies enable a website to link a user’s actions during a single browsing session. Session cookies are generally deleted when the user leaves the website and are therefore not stored long-term. Persistent cookies, on the other hand, are stored on the user’s device and remember user choices or actions on the website. Lagaviti uses both session cookies and persistent cookies.

 

First-party cookies

 

These cookies are created by the website you are visiting (First-Party Cookies). Some of these cookies are necessary for the full functionality of the website and to enable you to use all features available on the site. As such cookies are strictly necessary, they cannot be rejected without impairing the functionality of the website.

 

Third-party cookies

 

These are cookies that are created by websites other than the one you are currently visiting (Third-Party Cookies). Third-party cookies allow external parties to recognize your device both when you visit the relevant website and when you visit other websites.

We use the services of WIX to analyze traffic on our website and to distinguish you from other users of the Lagaviti website. This service involves the collection of information, as further described below, and the preparation of reports on the development and performance of our website, without identifying individual users or personal data. WIX creates both persistent cookies and session cookies.
