Cookie Policy

At Danish Cultural Institute, we use cookies to make our website easier for you to use.

This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are and which types of cookies we use.

What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files, downloaded from websites to your computer or smartphone as you browse and use the Internet.

There are two main types of cookie:

A session cookie only exists for the duration of your visit to a website. They recognise your computer or smartphone as you move between pages. These cookies can be used, for example, to maintain secure logins.
A persistent cookie stays on your device for a set period of time and can be used, for example, to remember you when you next visit the website.

The source of each cookie also varies. Some cookies are owned and created by Danish Cultural Institute (‘first-party’ cookies), such as your language preference. We also use third-party cookies – which are cookies from a domain different than the domain of the website you are visiting – for our advertising and marketing efforts.
