Cookie Policy
Last Updated: March 12, 2026
This Cookie Policy supplements our Privacy Policy, which explains how Ile Konsult AS processes personal data more broadly. It describes how and why cookies, pixel tags, and similar technologies are used on ilekonsult.no (the “Site”), what they do, and how you can manage your preferences. This policy applies to all visitors, including learners and organizations exploring our educational programs available across Canada. Ile Konsult AS is established in Norway and operates in accordance with applicable Norwegian and EEA data protection requirements.
What are cookies and similar technologies?
Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. They enable features such as session continuity, remembering choices, security, analytics, and advertising measurement. Pixel tags (also called web beacons) are tiny image or script snippets that allow us and our service providers to understand whether a page or message has been viewed. We may also use server-side identifiers generated from your browser or device information to measure conversions in a privacy-protective way when consent is provided.
Cookie lifespan and origin
Session cookies expire when you close your browser. Persistent cookies remain on your device for a defined period or until you delete them. Cookies can be set by ilekonsult.no (first‑party) or by third parties (third‑party) that provide services such as analytics and marketing measurement.
Categories we use
Essential cookies are necessary for the Site to function and do not require consent. Analytics cookies help us understand how the Site is used so we can improve content and navigation; these load only with your consent. Marketing cookies support remarketing, ad reach measurement, and attribution across platforms; these also load only with your consent. The categories below align with our Privacy Policy.

Consent in the EEA
If you are in the EEA (including Norway) or the UK, analytics and marketing cookies are activated only after you provide explicit, informed consent via our cookie banner or the preferences modal. Your selection is stored in the cookie_consent cookie for 12 months. You may withdraw consent at any time using the “Manage cookie preferences” link in the footer or by clearing cookies in your browser. Withdrawal does not affect the lawfulness of processing based on consent before its withdrawal.
Managing your preferences
- Use the “Manage cookie preferences” link in the Site footer to open the banner and update choices.
- Most browsers allow you to block or delete cookies in settings. Doing so may impact essential features.
- Provider tools: Google Analytics Opt-out, Google Ads Settings, Meta Ad Preferences, and regional choices at YourOnlineChoices.eu.
Third-party providers
We work with a small set of providers to operate and improve the Site. These providers may set or read identifiers only when you have consented to the relevant category:
- Google LLC (Google Analytics 4, Google Ads) — usage analytics, conversion measurement, and remarketing.
- Meta Platforms, Inc. (Meta Pixel) — ad reach measurement, remarketing, and attribution.
- Cloudflare, Inc. — content delivery and security (threat detection based on IP and request metadata).
We do not permit these providers to use Site data for their own independent commercial purposes. Data transfers outside the EEA/UK may occur; appropriate safeguards such as the EU‑US Data Privacy Framework and Standard Contractual Clauses apply as described in our Privacy Policy.
Changes to this Cookie Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy to reflect operational, legal, or technical changes. Material changes will be highlighted on the Site at least 14 days before taking effect. Please review this page periodically to stay informed about our use of cookies and similar technologies.
