BASIC WEBSITE FUNCTIONS

VIEWING VIDEO

We may display video as part of the content on our website. Videos shown with WordPress’ own video player do not use cookies or other tracking methods.

Videos that are embedded from YouTube track all video views and record user statistics. This is done with cookies that register which Google user, if any, is logged in, register geographic location, preferences and which page the playback takes place on. In addition, Youtube uses a cookie to adapt the video quality to the device’s capacity. Youtube is the data processor for all data related to its cookies.

Where Vimeo is used as a video player, a third-party cookie is used to track all video views and record user statistics. Vimeo is the data processor for this cookie. Read about cookies that Vimeo uses

THIRD-PARTY COOKIES AND MARKETING

We will sometimes advertise with Google Ads or on social media. We do this in order to present a relevant offer through customized advertising to users who have already been in contact with us. We also use the channels’ statistics tools for usage patterns on the website.

These media store so-called third-party cookies to register which user profile may be logged in to the browser/device, which URL is visited, geographical location and more. This is done in order to customize advertising and to generate user statistics. Since each medium can store different cookies in different contexts, we cannot know which cookies are in use at any given time. Nor is it technically possible for us to track individuals based on the information in third-party cookies. The individual medium is the data processor and is responsible for data protection when this is in use.

If you do not want to receive personalized advertising through such channels, you can disable only third-party cookies, as described in this article at nettvett.no.
