This Cookie Policy explains how we use cookies and similar technologies on our website, the types of cookies we use, the legal basis for our processing of personal data through cookies, and your rights as a data subject under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).
Real Advokatbyrå Aktiebolag is the data controller for the processing of personal data through cookies on this website.
1. What is a cookie
A cookie is a small text file that your browser saves on your computer or mobile device when you visit our website. For example, cookies allow the website to remember information such as the pages you have visited and your language and cookie-acceptance settings. This means, for example, that you do not have to change your language setting every time you navigate between different pages on the website.
2. How we use cookies
We use cookies to understand how our website is used, maintain security and continuously improve the user experience. The cookies we use collect information about, among other things:
- which pages you have visited on our website;
- how you got to our website (for example from Google or Bing);
- basic information about your device, such as browser type, operating system, IP address and internet service provider; and
- ensure the technical security of the website and protection against spam and unauthorised use.
All information collected through our analytical cookies is anonymised, which means that we cannot identify you as an individual. We only process aggregated statistics to analyse visitor patterns, technical performance and content effectiveness.
To further protect privacy, we have enabled IP anonymisation in Google Analytics. This means that part of your IP address is masked before it is stored or processed by Google.
Analytical cookies are only used after you have given your consent via our cookie banner. For more information on how Google uses cookies and manages data, see its privacy policy and information on Google Analytics.
Security cookies are set by Google as part of the reCAPTCHA service and are used to recognise potentially malicious traffic and protect the forms and functions of the website. These cookies are enabled without consent, as they are technically necessary to ensure a safe and functional website.
2.1 Sharing with third parties
Certain third parties such as Google, Facebook, X and LinkedIn can recognise that you have visited our website if you use any of these services and visit our website via links in these services. We do not share personal data with third parties, except when necessary to deliver our services or when we have your consent.
Important about international data transfers: When we use third-party services such as Google Analytics and reCAPTCHA, personal data may be transferred to countries outside the EU/EEA, including the United States. We ensure that such transfers are in compliance with the GDPR through the European Commission’s adequacy decision for the United States (Data Privacy Framework) or other appropriate safeguards such as standard contractual clauses.

- Consent (Article 6.1(a)) – for non-essential cookies as an analytical tool
- We process your personal data based on your explicit consent
- You can withdraw your consent at any time without prejudice to the lawfulness of the processing prior to the withdrawal
- Withdrawal can be done via our cookie settings or by contacting us
- Legitimate interest (Article 6.1(f)) – for technically necessary cookies required for the basic functionality of the website
- We may use legitimate interest cookies such as:
- Improves website security

- Improves the user experience
- We have carried out a balancing of interests and assessed that our legitimate interest does not outweigh your fundamental rights and freedoms
