  • ImBox/ImBoxStats - Chat (Accept Necessary)

Our chat service ImBox requires cookies to work. It sets both persistent cookies and session cookies for statistics and settings. This enables follow-up and development to give you as a user a good experience of the service.

No personal information, like the visitor's email address or name, is saved in the actual cookie files.

If you don't accept that cookies are used, you can block them in your web browser's security settings. You can also set the web browser so that you are asked every time the website tries to put a cookie on your computer.

Accessibility

We want as many people as possible to be able to use the website and we work continuously with accessibility. Read more in our Accessibility statement.
