PEHANSEN complies with international regulation. We use cookies on our website to enhance the user experience. We also use cookies via third parties like Google Analytics.
When we provide services, we want to make them easy, useful and reliable.

What is a cookie?
A cookie is a piece of data sent to your device from a website. This means the website can recognise your device if you return to the same website. A cookie often includes a unique identifier and is stored on your device. Some expire at the end of your website session; others remain on your computer for longer.
These pieces of information are used to improve services for you through, for example:
- enabling a service to recognise your device so you don't have to give the same information several times during one task, e.g. filling out a web form or a web survey
- recognising that you may already have given a username and password so you don't need to do it for every web page
- measuring how many people are using services, so they can be made easier to use and there's enough capacity to ensure they are fast
- analyzing data to help us understand how people interact with the different aspects of our online services so we can make them better
