Cookie policy

What are cookies?

A cookie is a small text file that a website stores on your computer or mobile device when you visit the site.

The first time you visit our website, you will be prompted to accept or refuse cookies.

The purpose is to enable us to remember your preferences (such as user name, language, etc.) for a certain period of time. This means that you don’t have to re-enter your preferences while browsing the site.

Cookies can also be used to establish anonymised and aggregated statistics about the browsing experience on our sites.

How does Billhop use cookies?

At Billhop, we want you to have the smoothest website experience possible. We therefore use cookies and other tools to assess the quality of your experience as well as your on-site behaviour. We have different purposes for your cookies, e.g.:

Making sure your user experience is smooth
Being able to assist you when you pay an invoice or want to give us feedback
Analysing how you use our website to make sure it functions properly
Minimising irrelevant ads

Strictly necessary cookies

There are some cookies that we have to include in order for certain web pages to function. Necessary cookies are essential for the website to function properly and they can therefore not be switched off.

You can change your settings in your web browser to block or warn you about these cookies, but this may affect how the website functions. The necessary cookies do not save any of your personal data, they just give you a better experience of our website.

On Billhop, we use necessary cookies in e.g. the customer support chat.

We also store your IP address during your session to make sure that no one else can login to your account using the same session ID from another IP address.

Examples of these types of cookies include:

lc _ sso - LiveChat Session
_ _ lc.visitor _ id - Livechat userId
_ _ livechat _ lastvisit - Livechat last visited domain

Functional cookies

Functional cookies are used to recognise you and remember your preferences or settings when you return to our site, so that we can provide you with a more personalised experience. These cookies cannot track your browsing activity on other websites. They don’t gather any information about you that could be used for advertising or remembering where you’ve been on the Internet outside our site.

Functional cookies help us remember your preferences and choices when using our platform. For example, if you sign in using BankID (Sweden) or by using your email and password, the next time you visit the sign-in page you will be prompted with the same login choice as before.

Analytics cookies

These cookies allow us to employ data analytics so we can measure and improve the performance of our site and provide more relevant content to you.

Analytics cookies help us count website visits and sources of traffic so that we know how our pages perform and let us monitor how visitors navigate our website.

We use Leadfeeder & Microsoft Clarity to gather analytics cookies.

The data we collect:

Mobile Device Information
Which of our pages you visited
Which pages were most relevant or helpful for you

References (where you came from)
Corporation information (i.e. for what company you work) through your IP address and corresponding session data that is matched against a large whitelist of known companies

All information that these cookies collect is aggregated and therefore anonymous.

We use Microsoft Clarity to help us understand what users want, care about and do on our site.

Marketing Cookies

These cookies make sure that the information and ads you see are relevant for you, adapted to your behaviour online. But to be sure that you’re not flooded with the same ads, these cookies also limit the exposure of some ads and can measure the efficiency of a campaign.

Some of these cookies are called third party cookies that are managed by Bing and LinkedIn. Through the third party cookies, the last four companies can forward and save your information about your use of the webpage (including your IP address) to countries outside the EU. These third parties can also transfer your information to other third parties if required by law.

Thus, when you consent to the use of these cookies, you also explicitly and unequivocally consent to personal data, or parts thereof, can be transferred, according to the information above, to recipients in countries that can provide different, less or even inadequate protection of personal data compared to the standards that are applicable in the jurisdiction you live or work in or where you contacted us.

Marketing cookies are used for the following purposes:

Analyse behaviour to develop and improve website design and content
Build segments for advertising based on visitor behaviour
View relevant ads for previous visitors
Minimise irrelevant ads to some visitors
Track visitor behaviour on different versions of the site
