Cookie policy
You can set your devices to accept all cookies, to notify you when a cookie is issued, or not to receive cookies at any time. (Last updated on Thursday 1 May 2025)
Securitas uses cookies on the website in order to enhance your experience, but not all cookies, or similar technologies, are necessary for the website to function. You accept the usage of some or all categories of cookies on our website by selecting the “Accept” button, or by adjusting the settings, in the cookie information banner on the bottom of the page.
What are cookies
A cookie is a small text file containing an identifier (a string of letters and numbers) that is sent by a web server to a web browser, and stored by the browser. The identifier is then sent back to the server each time the browser requests a page from the server. Cookies are used to enable web pages to function more efficiently as well as providing information to the web page owner. Cookies also make it possible to distinguish users from each other, which can give the user a more positive experience of the website.
The term cookie is the most used term but “cookies” actually describe a range of technologies, such as;
- Pixel tags,
- Mobile device identifiers, and
- Web storage used in desktop software or mobile devices.
When we refer to “cookies” in this policy we mean all such technologies.
There are a few different categories of cookies, including:
Session and persistent cookies
- Session cookies – these are cookies which expire once you close your web browser, and
- Persistent cookies – these are cookies which stay on your device for a set period of time or until you delete them.
First and third party cookies
- First-party cookies – these are cookies set by the website that you are visiting at the time, either by us, or by a third party at our request,
- Third-party cookies – these are cookies that are set by a party other than that of the website you are visiting. If you visit Securitas website or use Securitas services and another party sets a cookie through that website this would be a third-party cookie.
Cookies used on this website
We will/may send to you the following cookies:
- Campaign Page cookie
- Disclaimer Page cookie
- Language selector cookie
- Site Catalyst cookie
- Social media cookies (e.g. Facebook, LinkedIn, Google Analytics, and similar)
- YouTube video cookie
Our websites may include social media features or widgets, such as the Facebook Like button. Use of these features may allow them to collect your IP address, detect which page you are visiting on our site, and set a cookie to enable the feature to function properly. Your interactions with these features are governed by the privacy policy of the third party providing the function.
Google Analytics
Securitas uses Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google, Inc. Google Analytics sets a cookie in order to evaluate your use of the website and compile reports for us on activity on the website.
Google stores the information collected by the cookie on servers. Google may also transfer this information to third parties where required to do so by law, or where such third parties process the information on Google's behalf. Google will not associate your IP address with any other data held by Google. By using the Securitas website, you consent to the processing of data about you by Google in the manner and for the purposes set out above.

How we use cookies
During the course of any visit to the Securitas website, the pages you see, along with any cookies, are downloaded to your device. Many websites do this, because cookies enable website publishers to do useful things like find out whether the device (and probably its user) has visited the website before. This is done on a repeat visit by examining any cookie left there on the last visit.
In order to be able to provide relevant information to our visitors, we need aggregated statistical visitor data that is collected by means of cookies.
Managing your cookies
Securitas will not use cookies to collect personally identifiable information about you. However, if you wish to restrict or block the cookies which are set by Securitas, or indeed any other website, you can do this through your browser settings on your computer or by not accepting cookies on the website. Each browser or mobile app is different, so check the "Help" menu of your browser to learn how to change your cookie preferences.
Alternatively, you may wish to visit https://www.aboutcookies.org/ which contains comprehensive information on how to do this on a wide variety of browsers. You will also find details on how to delete cookies from your computer as well as more general information about cookies. For information on how to do this on the browser of your mobile phone you will need to refer to your handset manual.
Browsing cookies
You can withdraw your consent for us to use cookies whenever you want by deleting the cookie “CookiesAccept” from our domain and reloading the website.
Please note that if you refuse cookies you may not be able to use all features within the website.
Mobile identifiers
On your mobile device, your operating system may provide you with additional options to opt out of tracking or to otherwise reset your mobile identifiers. For example, you may use the “Limit Ad Tracking” setting (on iOS devices) or a setting to “Opt out of Internet-Based Ads” (on Android).

Cookie List
A cookie is a small piece of data (text file) that a website – when visited by a user – asks your browser to store on your device in order to remember information about you, such as your language preference or login information. Those cookies are set by us and called first-party cookies. We also use third-party cookies – which are cookies from a domain different than the domain of the website you are visiting – for our advertising and marketing efforts. More specifically, we use cookies and other tracking technologies for the following purposes:
Strictly Necessary Cookies
These cookies are necessary for the website to function and cannot be switched off in our systems. They are usually only set in response to actions made by you which amount to a request for services, such as setting your privacy preferences, logging in or filling in forms. You can set your browser to block or alert you about these cookies, but some parts of the site will not then work. These cookies do not store any personally identifiable information.
