Cookie Policy

1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer, tablet, or mobile device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently, to provide a better user experience, and to give website owners useful information about how their site is used. Cookies can be "first-party" (set by us) or "third-party" (set by external services we use).

Cookies typically contain a unique identifier, the name of the website, and some numbers and characters. They enable the website to recognise your device on subsequent visits and can store information such as your preferences or login status.

2. How We Use Cookies

We use cookies for several purposes: to ensure our website functions properly, to remember your choices and preferences, to understand how visitors use our site, and (with your consent) to deliver relevant content and measure the effectiveness of our communications. Our use of cookies is designed to enhance your experience while respecting your privacy.

3. Categories of Cookies

Strictly Necessary Cookies

These cookies are essential for the website to function. They enable core functionality such as security, network management, and access to secure areas. They also allow us to remember your cookie consent preferences. You cannot opt out of these cookies, as the website would not work properly without them. The legal basis for their use is our legitimate interest in providing a functional website.

Analytics and Performance Cookies

These cookies help us understand how visitors interact with our website by collecting and reporting information anonymously. They allow us to recognise and count the number of visitors, see how visitors move around the site, and identify which pages are most popular. This information helps us improve the way our website works. We use these cookies only with your explicit consent. The data is typically anonymised or pseudonymised. Retention: up to 26 months, unless a shorter period is specified by the analytics provider.

Marketing and Advertising Cookies

These cookies may be set through our site by advertising partners. They may be used to build a profile of your interests and show you relevant advertisements on other sites. They do not store personal data directly but are based on uniquely identifying your browser and device. We use marketing cookies only with your explicit consent. You can withdraw consent at any time through our Cookie Settings or by adjusting your browser preferences.

4. Legal Basis

Under the GDPR and the ePrivacy Directive (as implemented in Norwegian law):

• Strictly necessary cookies: We rely on our legitimate interest (Article 6(1)(f)) to operate a functional website. These cookies do not require consent.
• Analytics and marketing cookies: We rely on your consent (Article 6(1)(a)). We will not place these cookies until you have accepted them via our cookie banner or cookie settings.

5. Managing Your Cookie Preferences

You can manage your cookie preferences at any time by clicking "Cookie settings" in our cookie banner (when shown) or by revisiting our homepage and accessing the cookie consent options. You may accept all cookies, reject non-essential cookies, or customise your choices for analytics and marketing cookies individually.

You can also control cookies through your web browser settings. Most browsers allow you to refuse or accept cookies, delete existing cookies, or set preferences for certain websites. Please note that blocking strictly necessary cookies may affect your ability to use certain features of our website.

For more information on how to manage cookies in your browser, please visit the help section of your browser (e.g., Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge).

6. Third-Party Cookies

Some cookies are placed by third-party services that appear on our pages. We do not control these cookies, and we recommend that you check the privacy and cookie policies of these third parties for more information. We strive to work only with reputable partners who comply with applicable data protection laws.
