Effective date: 17 April 2026 Last updated: 17 April 2026
This Cookie Policy explains how Nordiqpost (“Nordiqpost”, “we”, “us”, or “our”) uses cookies and similar tracking technologies on nordiqpost.com (the “Site”). It should be read together with our Privacy Policy.
This policy is designed to comply with the EU ePrivacy Directive (as implemented in Norway via the Electronic Communications Act, ekomloven §2-7b) and the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).
This is a template. Nordiqpost should populate the cookie tables below with the actual cookies set by its hosting platform, analytics provider, ad network, and any embedded third-party services (YouTube, Vimeo, social plugins, comment systems, etc.) — ideally generated by an automated cookie scan.
1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that a website places on your device (computer, tablet, or smartphone) when you visit. They are widely used to make websites work, to make them work more efficiently, and to provide information to the site owner.
We also use similar technologies such as web beacons, pixels, local storage, and software development kits (SDKs). For simplicity, we refer to all of these as “cookies” in this policy.
Cookies can be:
- First-party cookies — set by Nordiqpost directly.
- Third-party cookies — set by external services we use (e.g. analytics, ads, embedded media).
- Session cookies — temporary; deleted when you close your browser.
- Persistent cookies — remain on your device for a set period or until you delete them.
2. How We Use Cookies
We use cookies to:
- Make the Site work as expected (e.g. remembering your cookie consent choice);
- Remember your preferences (e.g. language, dark mode);
- Measure how the Site is used so we can improve content and performance;
- Deliver and measure advertising (where applicable);
- Enable embedded third-party content (videos, social media, maps).
3. Categories of Cookies We Use
We group cookies into the following categories:
3.1 Strictly Necessary Cookies (always on)
These are essential for the Site to function. They cannot be switched off in our systems. They are usually set in response to actions you take, such as setting your privacy preferences, logging in, or filling forms.
Legal basis: No consent required (covered by the “strictly necessary” exception under the ePrivacy Directive).
| Cookie | Provider | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
cookie_consent | nordiqpost.com | Stores your cookie preferences | 12 months |
session_id | nordiqpost.com | Maintains your session | Session |
csrf_token | nordiqpost.com | Security (cross-site request forgery protection) | Session |
3.2 Performance & Analytics Cookies
These help us understand how visitors interact with the Site by collecting information anonymously or pseudonymously. We use them to improve content and user experience.
Legal basis: Your consent.
| Cookie | Provider | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
_ga, _ga_* | Google Analytics | Distinguishes users and sessions | Up to 2 years |
_gid | Google Analytics | Distinguishes users | 24 hours |
_pk_id* / _pk_ses* | Plausible / Matomo (if used) | Aggregated traffic measurement | Varies |
(Replace with the actual analytics provider Nordiqpost uses.)
3.3 Functional Cookies
These enable enhanced functionality and personalization, such as remembering your language preference or playing embedded videos.
Legal basis: Your consent.
| Cookie | Provider | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
lang | nordiqpost.com | Remembers selected language | 12 months |

3.4 Advertising & Targeting Cookies
These cookies may be set through our Site by advertising partners. They build a profile of your interests to show you relevant ads on other sites.
Legal basis: Your consent.
| Cookie | Provider | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
IDE | doubleclick.net (Google Ads) | Ad targeting and measurement | Up to 13 months |
_fbp | facebook.com (Meta Pixel) | Ad targeting and measurement | 3 months |
(Only include this category if Nordiqpost actually runs advertising. Otherwise remove.)
3.5 Social Media Cookies
If we embed social media content (e.g. Instagram posts, X/Twitter embeds), the platform may set cookies to enable sharing and to track engagement.
Legal basis: Your consent.
4. How to Manage Your Cookie Preferences
4.1 On the Site
When you first visit Nordiqpost, you’ll see a cookie banner that lets you accept all cookies, reject non-essential cookies, or customize your choices by category.
You can change or withdraw your consent at any time by:
- Clicking the “Cookie settings” link in the footer of any page;
- Clearing your browser’s cookies for nordiqpost.com (this will trigger the banner again on your next visit).
4.2 In your browser
Most browsers let you control cookies through their settings. You can usually:
- See which cookies are stored;
- Block all or some cookies;
- Delete cookies on close.
Browser-specific instructions:
- Chrome — Settings → Privacy and security → Cookies and other site data
- Firefox — Settings → Privacy & Security → Cookies and Site Data
- Safari — Preferences → Privacy
- Edge — Settings → Cookies and site permissions
Please note that blocking all cookies may affect how the Site works.
4.3 Opting out of analytics and advertising
- Google Analytics — install the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.
- Online behavioural advertising — visit youronlinechoices.eu to opt out of participating ad networks.
5. Do Not Track
Some browsers offer a “Do Not Track” (DNT) signal. Because there is no industry consensus on how to interpret DNT signals, the Site currently does not respond to them. We instead rely on the cookie consent banner to capture your preferences.
6. Third-Party Services
The Site may include content from third parties (e.g. embedded videos, social media posts, maps). These third parties may set their own cookies, which we do not control. We encourage you to review their cookie and privacy policies.
7. Changes to This Cookie Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in technology, law, or our use of cookies. The “Last updated” date at the top of this page indicates the most recent revision.
