Which cookies are currently used on our website?

The Swedish Prosecution Authority’s website ( aklagare.se and prosecutor.se ) does use one cookie .AspNetCore.Session.

The .AspNetCore.Session cookie is used by ASP.NET Core applications to manage session state. When a user interacts with a web application, the session state allows the application to store and retrieve user-specific data across multiple requests. This cookie is essential for maintaining the continuity of a user's experience as they navigate through the application.

The .AspNetCore.Session cookie itself does not store personal information directly. Instead, it stores a unique session identifier that is used by the server to retrieve session data associated with the user. This session data can include personal information, but it is stored on the server side, not within the cookie itself.
