1. Introduction
ClearNord AS operates the website clearnord.no. This cookie statement explains what cookies and similar technologies are, which ones we use, why we use them, and what choices you have.
This statement works in conjunction with our Privacy Policy, which explains how we handle personal data more generally.
The declaration reflects our commitments under the Norwegian Electronic Communications Act (ekomloven), the Personal Data Act, and the EU's General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).
If anything in this declaration is unclear, you can contact us using the contact details at the bottom of this page.
2. What cookies are
Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website.
They can help a website remember information like your cookie choices, language preferences, session information, or other settings.
Similar technologies, such as local storage, session storage, tracking pixels, and analytics scripts, can function in similar ways. When we use the term «cookies» in this statement, we mean cookies and similar technologies, unless the context dictates otherwise.
3. Our approach to cookies
ClearNord uses as few cookies and tracking technologies as possible.
We do not the following:
Uses cookies for advertising
Using marketing pixels
Tracks you across other websites
Selling or sharing cookie data with advertisers
Using cookie walls
Using analysis for behavioral profiling
Setting non-essential cookies before consent is given, where consent is required
You can use clearnord.no with only strictly necessary cookies enabled.
4. Categories of cookies and similar technologies
Strictly necessary cookies
Strictly necessary cookies are required for the website to function or to provide a service you request. This may include cookies that remember your cookie preferences, support website security, or maintain basic website functionality.
These do not require consent, but we inform you about them to ensure full transparency.
Functional cookies
Functional cookies support website functionality and user preferences. This may include cookies used by WordPress, Elementor, Rank Math, or other website tools to support page display, editing settings, browser compatibility, or website functionality.
Certain functional cookies will only be visible to logged-in administrators or when editing the website. They are not used for advertising, behavioral profiling, or cross-site tracking.
Analyze
We use Matomo Cloud to understand basic website usage, such as page visits and traffic patterns.
Matomo is configured in cookieless mode, and IP anonymization is enabled. This means Matomo does not place analytics cookies on your device in our current website analytics setup.
We use analytics to improve the website, not for advertising, behavioral profiling, or cross-site tracking.
Matomo Cloud stores data in Europe, and Matomo lists Frankfurt in Germany as the storage location for cloud data, and Dublin in Ireland for backups.
Marketing Cookies
We do not use marketing cookies.
