Cookies & Storage
Last updated
Short version: this site sets no cookies of its own and runs no advertising or tracking. The only optional extra is cookieless visitor statistics, which load only if you choose Allow statistics. Nothing is stored on your device until you make a choice or flip one of the site’s switches.
The rules we follow
Storing or reading information on your device needs your consent unless it is strictly necessary to send a communication or to provide a service you have explicitly asked for (Norwegian Electronic Communications Act, ekomloven § 3-15, and Article 5(3) of the EU ePrivacy Directive). Everything the site does on its own falls under those exemptions. The one optional extra — visitor statistics — needs your consent, so we ask first, load nothing before you answer, and make Reject exactly as easy as Allow. A Global Privacy Control signal from your browser counts as Reject.
