Cookie Policy
FiordExplore employs cookies for defined purposes outlined in this policy. You may adjust your cookie preferences whenever you wish. We adhere to best practice standards, seeking your active consent before deploying non-essential cookies.
1. What are cookies?
Your browser saves cookies as small text files on your device while you visit. They support core site features, retain your preferences, and—if you agree—help our analytics and marketing programmes work effectively.
A cookie can be set either by the site itself (first-party cookie) or by a third-party provider (third-party cookie).
2. Categories of cookies
2.1 Strictly necessary cookies
These cookies are necessary for FiordExplore to function properly. Core functionality depends on them, so our privacy framework doesn't require consent for their use.
- eoh_consent — remembers the cookie choice you have made so the banner does not appear on every visit. Retention: 12 months.
- session-id — a server-side session identifier. Held for the duration of your session.
2.2 Analytics cookies (optional)
We use analytics cookies only after you've consented via the banner, helping us understand visitor behaviour and improve our content and usability.
- _ga, _ga_*** (likely Google Analytics) — anonymised visitor statistics. Retention: up to 13 months.
If you do not accept analytics cookies, these will not be set in your browser.
2.3 Marketing cookies (optional)
FiordExplore currently doesn't use marketing cookies. If this changes, we'll seek your permission first and update this notice. Targeted advertising would only proceed with your explicit consent.
3. Giving and withdrawing consent
The first time you arrive at the site you will see a cookie banner with two choices:
- **'Accept all'** — agree to analytics and marketing cookies, where applicable.
- 'Essentials only' — only strictly necessary cookies are set.
Your browser remembers this preference for 12 months. You can change it anytime by clearing FiordExplore's cookies, and the banner will return on your next visit.
4. Managing cookies in your browser
You can also manage cookies directly from your browser. In most browsers you can:
- view and delete stored cookies;
- block all cookies, or cookies from specific sites;
- set the browser to notify you when a cookie is set.
Guides for the most common browsers:
- **Chrome:** Settings → Privacy and security → Cookies and other site data
- Firefox: Settings → Privacy & Security → Cookies and Site Data
- Safari: Settings → Privacy → Manage Website Data
- Edge: Settings → Cookies and site permissions
Note that blocking strictly necessary cookies may cause issues with the site.
5. Retention
FiordExplore stores its own cookies for a maximum of 12 months; individual retention periods are outlined above. Session cookies are deleted automatically when you close your browser.
6. Updates to this policy
We update this cookie policy as needed—when launching new services or addressing legal requirements, for example. Significant changes are announced on the site, and you'll find the latest revision date at the top of this page.
