Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. Similar technologies, such as pixels, tags and local storage, work in the same way. In this policy, "cookies" covers all of them.
Some cookies contain identifiers, such as a random ID or your IP address, that can be linked to you. Under the GDPR these count as personal data, and we handle them as described in our Privacy Policy.
We use four types of cookies:
Some cookies are set by us (first-party). Others are set by third parties such as Google, LinkedIn and Cloudflare when their services are used on our website (third-party).
Under the Norwegian Electronic Communications Act (ekomloven) we may only store or read information on your device with your consent, except where it is strictly necessary to deliver the website you have asked for. This means:
Where cookies involve personal data, the legal basis is your consent (GDPR Art. 6(1)(a)), except for necessary cookies, which are based on our legitimate interest in running a secure, working website (Art. 6(1)(f)).
If you accept analytics or advertisement cookies, Google and LinkedIn receive data such as your IP address, browser identifiers and the pages you visit. They may process this data in the United States. Such transfers are protected by the EU–US Data Privacy Framework or the EU Commission's Standard Contractual Clauses. For their own purposes, these providers act as independent controllers. Read their privacy policies: Google, LinkedIn.
