Cookie Notice 

1. INTRODUCTION

This website (“the Website”) is owned by G. Larsson Starch Technology AB (reg.no.: 556117-0050) (hereinafter referred to as “we”, “our” or “us”). References to “you” or “your” refer to the visitor of the Website. 

We have created this Cookie Notice to inform you about, among other things, the types of cookies used on the Website, the parties involved, the purposes for which they are used, how long cookies are stored, whether information is shared with third parties, and how you can manage cookie storage. The purpose is to provide you with a clear understanding of how cookies work and to help you make informed decisions. 

2. GENERAL INFORMATION ABOUT COOKIES

A cookie is a small text file that is stored on a visitor’s device, such as a mobile phone, computer, or tablet, when visiting a website. Cookies serve various functions and enable access to different services and features on the website. For example, they can be used to:

• Retrieve information already stored on the visitor’s device. 
• Store new information on the visitor’s device. 
• Track the visitor’s browsing patterns across websites using the same cookie. 
• Save data about the visitor’s activities and interactions on the website. 
• Store information during a single visit (session cookie) or across multiple visits (persistent cookie). 
• Enable targeted marketing based on the visitor’s interests. 

Cookies may also involve the transfer of information between the website and the visitor, between the visitor and the website owner, or to a third party acting on behalf of the website owner. In some cases, the information may also be shared with other parties in accordance with their own privacy policies. 

There are different types of cookies, usually divided into the following main categories: 

• Session cookies are temporarily stored in the device’s memory and have no set expiry date. They are active only during the browser session and are automatically deleted when the browser is closed. These cookies are typically used to maintain a user session and enable certain website functions. 
• Persistent cookies (also called “permanent cookies”) are stored on the device for a specific period defined in the cookie’s settings. Unlike session cookies, they remain after the browser is closed until their expiry date passes. They are used, for example, to remember user preferences for future visits. 
• Third-party cookies are placed by parties other than the website owner. They may be used for various purposes, such as analytics, advertising, or social media integrations. Third-party cookies can be either session or persistent cookies, depending on their function.

3. CATEGORIES OF COOKIES USED ON THIS WEBSITE

3.1 Necessary cookies

Cookies placed in the “Necessary Cookies” category are essential for the Website to function properly. They are required to provide the online services you have requested. In short, these cookies are crucial for you to fully experience the Website’s functionality. They allow us to maintain user sessions, prevent security threats, and ensure fundamental functions and security features that are important for you as a visitor. 

The use of necessary cookies does not require your prior consent and therefore cannot be opted out of. This means that cookies placed within this category will always be active. 

The legal basis for the use of necessary cookies is our legitimate interest in providing a functional and secure website. 

3.2 Non-necessary cookies 

In order for us to use cookies that are classified as non-necessary, your active consent is required. You have the right to withdraw your consent at any time, without affecting the lawfulness of processing carried out before the withdrawal. You can manage or disable non-necessary cookies according to the instructions in section 5 below. 

Please note that non-necessary cookies are not essential for the basic functionality of the Website but are used for other purposes (such as improving user experience or analyzing website traffic). 

These cookies are only placed on your device after you have given active consent via the Website’s cookie banner or settings center. No non-necessary cookies will be set before you have made a choice. You can also choose to consent only to specific categories of cookies. 

The legal basis for the use of non-necessary cookies is your consent. 

The Website uses the following categories of non-necessary cookies:

5. HOW TO MANAGE COOKIE STORAGE

You can manage and control how cookies are stored on your device in various ways, including the ability to partially or fully disable or enable cookies. Please note that disabling cookies, in whole or in part, may affect the Website’s functionality and cause certain features to not work as intended. 

Below are different ways to manage cookies: 

5.1 Settings via the Website’s cookie management tool 

On this Website, you can manage cookies using the settings in the installed cookie solution. When you visit the Website for the first time, a cookie banner appears, allowing you to: 

• Accept all cookies. 

• Reject all non-necessary cookies. 

• Customize your consent for different cookie categories (e.g., statistics, marketing). 

The cookie banner appears upon your first visit and periodically thereafter, or when significant changes are made to the Cookie Notice or the cookie categories. 

You can change or withdraw your consent regarding the use of non-necessary cookies at any time by clicking the “Manage Cookies” link available at the bottom of each page. This gives you flexibility to adjust your cookie preferences as needed. 

Necessary cookies, as described in section 3.1 above, are always used to ensure the Website functions properly and therefore cannot be disabled. 

5.2 Browser settings 

If you wish to restrict the use of cookies, you can adjust your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to block non-essential cookies or require your approval before storing a new cookie on your device. 

Browser settings may also allow you to block third-party cookies or add frequently visited sites as “trusted websites”, meaning cookies from these trusted sources are always accepted. You can also usually delete specific cookies stored on your device or clear all cookies. 

These options are typically found under “Settings”, “Help”, or “Tools” in your browser. Note that the exact steps may vary depending on the browser you use (e.g., Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge, Opera). If you need help adjusting settings, contact your browser provider or visit their help pages for detailed instructions. 

Remember that these settings must be adjusted separately in each browser and on each device you use to ensure your preferences apply everywhere. 

Please note that browser settings do not constitute valid consent under applicable law but serve as an additional tool to enhance your privacy. Valid consent must always be given through our cookie banner or settings center.

6. PROCESSING OF PERSONAL DATA

If the cookies used involve the collection or other processing of your personal data, you are also entitled to information about such processing in accordance with the EU General Data Protection Regulation 2016/679 (“GDPR”). 

For necessary cookies, the processing is based on our legitimate interest in providing a secure and functional website. For non-necessary cookies, processing only takes place after you have given your consent.
