Cookie Policy

This Cookie Policy describes how Thogreonchrel uses cookies and similar technologies on https://thogreonchrel.world/. It should be read together with our Privacy Policy, which explains broader personal data processing. We comply with the GDPR, the Norwegian Electronic Communications Act implementing the EU ePrivacy Directive requirements relevant to storage and access to information on terminal equipment, and applicable guidance from the Norwegian Communications Authority (“Nkom”) and the European Data Protection Board where relevant.

1. What cookies and similar technologies are

Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. Similar technologies include local storage objects, pixels, tags, scripts that perform tracking or remember settings, and device identifiers used in mobile environments. In this Policy, “cookies” refers to cookies and such comparable technologies unless stated otherwise.

2. How you can control cookies

When you first visit our site, we present a banner with “Accept all”, “Reject”, and “Cookie settings”. In Cookie settings, strictly necessary cookies remain active because they are required for basic operation and security. Analytics and marketing toggles reflect your choices. You may reopen preferences by clearing stored consent keys in your browser or contacting us for guidance; we may add a persistent “Cookie settings” link in the footer in future updates.

Browser controls allow you to block or delete cookies. Blocking all cookies may degrade site functions such as staying logged in or retaining consent choices. Consult your browser help pages for steps. Device-level advertising identifiers may be reset through operating system privacy menus.

3. Categories of cookies we use

3.1 Strictly necessary cookies

These cookies are essential to deliver the website over HTTPS, maintain security, load balanced resources, remember cookie consent decisions, and prevent fraud. They are set based on our legitimate interest in secure service delivery and, where required, to comply with legal obligations. Because they are strictly necessary, they do not rely on consent in the ePrivacy sense, though we still inform you transparently.

3.2 Analytics cookies

If you enable analytics, we may use first-party or third-party analytics tools to understand aggregate traffic patterns, page performance, and error rates. Data may include pseudonymous identifiers, coarse location, device type, and navigation paths. Analytics is optional and activated only when you consent through the banner or settings panel.

3.3 Marketing cookies

If you enable marketing, we or partners may set cookies to measure ad performance, attribute conversions, build audience segments, or cap how often you see a message. Marketing cookies are optional and require consent before non-essential placement on your device under applicable law.

4. Purposes in detail

Strictly necessary purposes include: enabling core navigation; remembering cookie preferences; protecting forms against abuse; and maintaining session integrity where features require it. Analytics purposes include: counting visits; diagnosing technical issues; and improving content structure. Marketing purposes include: remarketing where permitted; A/B testing of creative assets; and collaboration with advertising networks subject to contracts and data protection agreements.

5. Legal bases

For strictly necessary cookies, we rely on GDPR Article 6(1)(f) legitimate interests in providing a secure, functioning website, combined with ePrivacy rules permitting such storage or access without consent where strictly necessary to provide an explicitly requested service. For analytics and marketing cookies, we rely on GDPR Article 6(1)(a) consent obtained through the banner, and the relevant ePrivacy consent standard for storage and access not covered by the strict necessity exemption.

6. Data recipients and processors

Technical hosting providers may access cookie data incidentally while transmitting traffic. Analytics or marketing partners act as processors or independent controllers depending on the tool; we identify major categories in documentation available on request and in processor agreements. Transfers outside the EEA follow mechanisms described in the Privacy Policy.

7. Retention periods

Consent records may be stored in local storage or cookies for up to twelve months to avoid repeatedly prompting you, then refreshed when you interact with the banner again. Session cookies expire when you close the browser. Analytics cookies may persist according to vendor defaults, often between six and twenty-four months, but you can remove them earlier via browser controls. Marketing cookies vary by campaign; refer to partner policies linked in disclosure packs we maintain internally.

8. Your rights

Personal data collected via cookies may give rise to GDPR rights such as access, erasure, and objection, especially where processing is based on consent or legitimate interests. See the Privacy Policy for procedures. You may withdraw consent to non-essential cookies at any time by adjusting settings; withdrawal does not affect prior lawfulness.

9. Specific cookies and storage keys

Strictly necessary items may include a consent state key stored in local storage to remember your choices and avoid repeated prompts. Session identifiers required for security may be implemented as HTTP-only cookies managed by the hosting environment. If we integrate analytics, typical names follow vendor conventions such as randomly generated client identifiers; we document vendor categories in our internal register and provide summaries on request.

Pixels, if used for marketing with consent, may communicate conversion events to advertising platforms under contract terms that require data processing agreements and limited retention.

10. Consent string versioning

When you save cookie settings, we record a timestamp and the categories you selected. If we upgrade our banner logic, we may ask you to confirm preferences again to align with new categories or partners.

11. Interaction with marketing law

Even when marketing cookies are off, Norwegian marketing rules may still allow certain transactional communications related to an existing customer relationship where applicable. Those communications are governed by the Privacy Policy and marketing statutes, separate from cookie-based ad personalisation.

12. Technical safeguards

Cookie banners are served over HTTPS to reduce tampering. We monitor for unauthorised script injection that could alter consent behaviour and apply patches promptly.

13. Updates

We may amend this Cookie Policy when we introduce new technologies or legal requirements change. Material updates will be posted on this page with a revised effective date.

Effective date: 25 March 2026.
