The Cookies Panel
Here you register and add cookies to be used on your website and to appear in your cookie banner. Read the guide on how to set up your cookie banner.
The Cookies panel can be found under Site Settings. It shows five categories for different types of cookies. Here you have the option to enter a Title and Description for each category. You can enter your own description or use our standard descriptions. It is these Title and Description fields that will be displayed in the Cookie Banner module. In the Cookie banner, the visitor then has the option to disable all cookies, except for those in the Necessary cookies category, which cannot be disabled.
These cookies are needed to make various features of the website work properly and cannot be turned off.
Standard texts:
- Title: Necessary cookies
- Description: Keeps our services safe and functioning properly. Therefore, it cannot be disabled.
These cookies are required for certain functionality to work as intended on the website.
Standard texts:
- Title: Functional cookies
- Description: Helps us to provide improved functionality and customization
Please note that the descriptions are auxiliary texts, feel free to replace them to suit your website.
Analytical cookies are cookies that help you improve the user experience for the visitor.
Standard texts:
- Title: Analytical cookies
- Description: Provides us with information about how our website is used which allows us to maintain, operate and improve the user experience
Please note that the descriptions are help texts, feel free to replace them to suit your website.
Marketing cookies allow us to promote and personalize ads on the website.
Standard texts:
- Title: Marketing cookies
- Description: Allows us and our partners to, for example, personalize ads to you based on how you use our website.
Please note that the descriptions are auxiliary texts, feel free to replace them to suit your website.
Other cookies are other third-party cookies that you use on your website.
Standard texts:
- Title: Other cookies
- Description: Here you can add what other types of cookies do on your website
Please note that this is only a default text that is mainly aimed at you who work in Sitevision and that you should replace it.
It is important that you change the description for the category Other cookies! The standard description is more a text for you who work in Sitevision so that you know what this category does. For example, if you want to add a cookie for personalization, you describe what this cookie is for. For example, "Allows us to personalize your experience with personalized content". Then you also rename the title to Personalization cookies.
Depending on the features you use in Sitevision web analytics (Matomo), you will need to control and manage all the cookies that are actually set. A first step could be to at least clarify this in your Cookie Policy.
Add Cookies
Sitevision cookies
We have prepared so that you only need to register that you use a particular Sitevision feature, and thus the feature's cookies, for these to be automatically managed in our Cookie banner. You register in the Cookies panel under Site Settings. Sitevision cookies are a separate category.
For example, if you use Sitevision web analytics, click the Register button next to sv-web-analytics. It will then be placed under the Analytical cookies category and managed by our Cookie banner.
Sitevision cookies must always be managed whether you use our cookie module or not. Sitevision cookies are automatically rejected if no consent is given. This means that features that use cookies may not work as expected.
It is important that your third-party cookies can handle a visitor not accepting cookies. Otherwise, it will be perceived as the user saying no to Cookies but they are still used. Excluding cookies requires development, so you may need to enlist the help of a partner to make it work.
Functional Cookies
- sv-bookmarks2: Used by the List Favorites and Add/Remove Favorites modules to allow anonymous visitors to add favorites to a persistent cookie.
- votes: Used by the Web Question module to prevent double voting
- en-usr-hint: If you use OpenID Connect for login, this cookie is used to allow you to log in with the same user as last time.
Analytical cookies
- sv-uts: Used if you use the Personalized Content feature with Last Visit Criteria Type and/or Number of Visits Criteria Type.
- sv-google-analytics: Used by google to bring data to google analytics.
- en-web-analytics: No actual cookie set by the browser but a service that allows cookies from Sitevision web analytics (Matomo) to be set.
Necessary cookies
- svsession_<idnumber>: If you use secure cookie as login method, you must add this as a necessary cookie otherwise the login procedure will not work.
Necessary cookies that come with Sitevision are automatically registered. There are two cookies (JSESSIONID and sv-cookie-consent) that are necessary for all customers and one more (SitevisionLTM) if you have your website in our cloud environment.
Third party cookies
If you use other functions with cookies other than Sitevision's own, it is important that you identify which ones and register these in the Cookies panel under Site Settings. Under each category, you can click Add cookie.
When you click Add cookie, a new window opens. Fill in the information.
- Name: Here you name your cookie.
- Identifier: Here you fill in the identifier of your cookie.
- Description: Fill in a description of what the cookie is for.
If you add a Third Party cookie, it must be able to handle that a visitor does not accept cookies. This is not something that happens just because you added Cookies under Site Settings. On our developer site you will find examples of how you can build such a solution.
This feature requires you to have the"Manage website settings" permission
