Cookie for the collection of statistics

Name: _vizzit
Type of cookie: Third party cookie (performance cookie).

The Riksbank’s website uses the statistics and maintenance tool Vizzit. This tool gathers anonymised information on how visitors use our website. This information helps us to improve and further develop the website to offer the best possible experience for our visitors.

To gather reliable information, a Vizzit cookie is attached to the visitor’s browser. The website can be used as normal without this cookie, but this reduces our possibilities to understand and meet the needs of our visitors.

Information gathered through Vizzit’s cookie is only saved on Vizzit’s own servers, located in Sweden, to which only Vizzit’s personnel have access. The information gathered is not shared with any third party under any circumstances whatsoever.

The cookie can be stored for 12 months.
