Discover Kiruna Cookie Policy

This Cookie Policy explains how Discover Kiruna (operated by Luleå Travel AB) uses cookies and similar technologies on this website. This policy is provided in accordance with the Swedish Electronic Communications Act (ECA) and the GDPR.

1. What are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer, tablet, or smartphone when you visit a website. They are used to improve website functionality, track user behavior for analytics, and remember your preferences.

2. Legal Requirement (ECA & GDPR)

Under Swedish law, we are required to:

1. Inform you that our website uses cookies and what they are used for.
2. Obtain your explicit, informed consent before placing any cookies on your device, except for those that are strictly technically necessary for the site to function (e.g., to keep the booking system operational).

Your consent is managed via the Cookie Consent Banner that appears upon your first visit. You must actively click “Accept” or “Reject” non-essential categories.

3. Cookie Categories We Use

We classify the cookies used on this website into three core categories:

Strictly Necessary Cookies are essential for the website to function correctly and cannot be switched off. These cookies are critical for allowing you to browse the site, manage your user session, and successfully process your booking through the Rezdy platform (e.g., session cookies). Because they are technically required for a service you explicitly request, they are exempt from the ECA consent requirement.

Statistical / Analytical Cookies are used to measure and analyze how often the website is visited, which pages are most popular, and how users interact with the content (e.g., Google Analytics). We use this information to understand our audience and continuously improve the website’s performance and design. These cookies are non-essential and require your explicit consent.

Marketing Cookies are used to track your browsing history, activity across our site, and potentially other websites. This tracking allows us to build a profile of your interests to deliver relevant and targeted advertisements to you. These cookies are non-essential and require your explicit consent.

4. How to Manage and Withdraw Consent

A. The Cookie Consent Banner

When you visit the site, you are presented with a cookie banner allowing you to:

• Accept All Cookies.
• Reject All Non-Essential Cookies.
• Customize your preferences by category.

B. Withdrawal Mechanism

You have the right to withdraw your consent at any time. To make withdrawal as easy as consent (as required by Swedish regulatory guidance):

• A persistent, small “Cookie Settings” or “Manage Consent” link is available on every page, usually in the website footer.
• Clicking this link will re-open the consent banner, allowing you to change or withdraw your previously given consent immediately.

5. Third-Party Cookies

Our website uses third-party cookies from providers such as Rezdy (booking functionality) and Google (Analytics/Advertising). These cookies are subject to the respective third party’s privacy and cookie policies, which we encourage you to review.
