1. The short version
This website does not set cookies. It does not use local storage, session storage, tracking pixels, fingerprinting or any similar technology to recognise you or follow you between visits. There is no consent banner because there is nothing to consent to.
The rest of this page explains what that means, why we made that choice, and how to control cookies in your browser generally, since most other sites you visit will behave differently.
2. What cookies are
A cookie is a small text file that a website asks your browser to store. On your next visit the browser sends it back, which lets the site recognise the same browser again. Cookies are the usual mechanism behind staying logged in, keeping a shopping basket between pages, remembering a language preference, and, on most commercial sites, building an advertising profile.
Several related technologies do much the same job. Local storage and session storage keep data in the browser in a similar way but with different rules about expiry. Pixels and web beacons are tiny images or scripts loaded from another server, which lets that server log the visit. Fingerprinting identifies a browser by combining details such as screen size, installed fonts and time zone, without storing anything at all.
Under Norwegian law the relevant provision is section 3-15 of the Electronic Communications Act (ekomloven), which implements Article 5(3) of the EU ePrivacy Directive. It requires informed consent before storing information on, or gaining access to information already stored on, a user’s device, except where that storage is strictly necessary to provide a service the user has explicitly requested.
3. What this site actually uses
Nothing in the categories above.
| Name | Provider | Purpose | Type | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| — | — | — | — | — |
The table is empty because there is nothing to put in it. To be specific about what that means:
- No analytics. There is no Google Analytics, no Plausible, no Matomo, no self-hosted alternative. We do not know how many people visit this site, which pages are popular, or how long anyone stays.
- No advertising or remarketing. No Meta Pixel, no Google Ads tag, no conversion tracking, no audience building.
- No social media embeds. No like buttons, no share widgets, no embedded feeds. These are among the most common sources of third-party cookies on ordinary websites.
- No embedded maps or videos. We deliberately left out an embedded map on the contact page for this reason.
- No external fonts or scripts. Everything the site needs, including fonts and icons, is served from our own domain. No request goes to any third-party server while you browse.
- No consent management platform. These are themselves a common source of storage, and we do not need one.
- No login, no basket, no preferences. The site has no account system and no shopping basket, so there is no session to remember. The tabs, sliders and accordions work entirely in the page’s memory and forget everything the moment you navigate away or reload.
4. Why there is no consent banner
Consent under Article 5(3) of the ePrivacy Directive is required before storing or accessing information on your device. Since this site does neither, the obligation is never triggered, and a banner asking you to accept cookies would be asking you to consent to something that does not happen.
We think cookie banners on sites that set no cookies are worse than useless. They train people to click through consent dialogues without reading them, and they suggest tracking that is not taking place. So we left ours out, and wrote this page instead.
If that ever changes, this page changes with it, and a proper consent mechanism will appear before any non-essential storage is used. We would not quietly add tracking and leave this page saying otherwise.
5. Server logs are not cookies
Our hosting provider records standard server access logs, which typically contain the requesting IP address, the date and time, the resource requested, the HTTP status code and the browser’s user-agent string.
This is worth mentioning because people sometimes assume “no cookies” means “no record of the visit at all”. Server logs are generated by the web server receiving your request, not by anything stored on your device, so they fall outside the cookie rules entirely. They are covered by data protection law instead, and our Privacy Policy explains how they are handled and how long they are kept. We do not use them to identify individuals or to build profiles.
6. Third-party cookies
There are none, because there are no third parties. The site loads no resource from any domain other than its own. No advertising network, analytics vendor, social platform or content delivery network receives a request when you open a page here, and therefore none of them can set a cookie through this site or learn that you visited it.
7. How to manage cookies in your browser
You do not need to change any setting for this site. The instructions below are for the rest of the web, where cookies are the norm.
Google Chrome. Open the three-dot menu, then Settings. Choose Privacy and security, then Third-party cookies to control cross-site cookies, or Site settings and then Cookies and site data for per-site rules. To clear what is already stored, use Delete browsing data and select Cookies and other site data.
Mozilla Firefox. Open the hamburger menu, then Settings. Choose Privacy & Security. Enhanced Tracking Protection offers Standard, Strict and Custom modes. Under Cookies and Site Data you can clear stored data or manage exceptions for individual sites.
Safari (macOS). Open the Safari menu, then Settings, then Privacy. Tick Prevent cross-site tracking. Use Manage Website Data to inspect and remove what is stored. On iOS and iPadOS, go to Settings, then Apps, then Safari, and use Block All Cookies or Clear History and Website Data.
Microsoft Edge. Open the three-dot menu, then Settings. Choose Cookies and site permissions, then Manage and delete cookies and site data. Tracking prevention is under Privacy, search, and services, with Basic, Balanced and Strict levels.
Most browsers also offer a private or incognito window, which discards cookies and site data when you close it.
8. What happens if you block cookies entirely
On this site, nothing. Every feature works with cookies fully blocked, because none of them depend on storage: the hero slider, the fishing-style tabs, the catalogue filters, the load-more button, the quick-view panel, the guides and the FAQ accordion all run in the page itself.
On other sites, blocking all cookies usually breaks logins, shopping baskets and saved preferences, which is why most browsers separate first-party cookies from third-party cookies rather than blocking both.
9. Do Not Track and Global Privacy Control
Some browsers send a Do Not Track header or a Global Privacy Control signal. We do not need to act on either, because we do not track, do not sell personal data and do not share it for behavioural advertising. There is nothing for the signal to switch off.
10. Changes to this policy
If the site ever starts using cookies or similar technologies, we will update this page before that happens, fill in the table in section 3 with the actual details, and add a proper consent mechanism where the law requires one. The date at the top of this page shows when it was last revised.
