Cookie Policy

This Cookie Policy explains how Vitshineex.ddd ("we", "us", "our") uses cookies and similar technologies on our website. It should be read alongside our Privacy Policy.

We comply with:

• the Norwegian Electronic Communications Act (Ekomloven) § 2-7b on storage of and access to information on your device;
• the GDPR and the Norwegian Personal Data Act (Personopplysningsloven) where cookie data identifies you or forms part of personal data processing;
• guidance from Datatilsynet on lawful, informed, and freely given consent.

1. What Are Cookies and Similar Technologies?

Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They help the site remember your preferences, understand how you interact with pages, and improve your overall experience.

We also use local storage in your browser to save your cookie consent choice. Local storage works like a cookie for consent purposes and is covered by Ekomloven § 2-7b. Other similar technologies may include session storage and pixel tags.

3. How We Use Cookies

We categorise cookies into three groups. When you first visit our site, a consent banner informs you of your rights under Ekomloven § 2-7b and the GDPR before any non-essential cookies are placed. You may accept all, reject all non-essential cookies with equal ease, or configure your preferences by category. Non-essential cookies are never activated without your prior, explicit, and freely given consent.

3.1 Strictly Necessary Cookies and Storage

These technologies are essential for the website to function and cannot be disabled. They do not require your consent under Ekomloven § 2-7b third paragraph, because they are strictly necessary to provide a service you have explicitly requested.

• cookie_consent_domain (local storage) — stores your cookie preference choices, consent version, and timestamp. Duration: 12 months. Provider: Vitshineex.ddd.
• Session cookies — maintain basic site functionality during your visit. Duration: session. Provider: Vitshineex.ddd.

3.2 Analytics Cookies

These cookies help us understand how visitors use our website by collecting anonymous, aggregated data. They are only activated if you give consent.

• Analytics identifiers — track page views, session duration, and navigation paths. Duration: up to 26 months. Provider: third-party analytics service (if enabled).

3.3 Marketing Cookies

These cookies may be used to measure advertising (for example Google Ads conversion tracking) and deliver relevant messages. They are only activated if you give consent under Ekomloven § 2-7b and Markedsføringsloven.

• Google Ads / conversion tags — measure ad performance after you opt in via the cookie banner. Duration: up to 90 days. Provider: Google Ireland Ltd. Only loaded when marketing consent is granted.
• Marketing identifiers — track interactions with promotional content. Duration: up to 12 months. Provider: third-party marketing service (if enabled).

4. Managing Your Cookie Preferences

Under Norwegian law and GDPR, you have the right to withdraw consent at any time. You can manage cookies in the following ways:

• Cookie banner: use the equally prominent “Accept All” or “Reject All” buttons, or open “Cookie Settings” for granular control when you first visit the site.
• Cookie Settings panel: toggle analytics and marketing categories on or off individually. Strictly necessary cookies remain always active. Use “Save Preferences” or “Only Essential Cookies” to confirm your choice.
• Manage Cookies link: click “Manage Cookies” in the website footer at any time to reopen the consent panel and change your preferences.
• Browser settings: most browsers allow you to block or delete cookies. Note that blocking all cookies may affect site functionality.
• Contact us: email inquiry@vitshineex.world to request deletion of your consent record.

5. Third-Party Content and Cookies

Some pages load content from third-party services. These providers may set their own cookies or process data under their own policies:

• Google Maps (embedded on our Contact page) — may set cookies and process location-related data when you interact with the map. Provider: Google Ireland Ltd. Privacy policy: Google Privacy Policy. The map loads only when you visit the contact page; we do not use Google Maps for tracking across the rest of the site.
• Remix Icon font CDN (jsDelivr) — delivers icon fonts. We use this CDN for visual icons only; it is not used for analytics or advertising.

We do not allow non-essential third-party tracking scripts to run before you give consent through our cookie banner.

6. How We Obtain and Document Consent

Under Ekomloven § 2-7b and Datatilsynet practice, consent must be:

• freely given — rejecting non-essential cookies is as easy as accepting them;
• specific and informed — we explain each category before it is activated;
• unambiguous — you must take a clear action; we do not use pre-ticked boxes for optional cookies;
• documented — we store your choice, the consent version, and a timestamp in local storage.

Strictly necessary storage is exempt from consent under Ekomloven § 2-7b third paragraph. Analytics and marketing technologies are used only with your prior consent (GDPR Art. 6(1)(a)). You may withdraw consent at any time via Manage Cookies in the footer, without detriment to your use of the website.

7. Data Retention

Cookie and local storage data is retained according to the durations listed above. Your consent record is stored for 12 months, after which the consent banner will reappear so you can renew or change your preferences. If we change our cookie categories or purposes materially, we will ask for your consent again.

8. Your Rights and Complaints

Where cookie data constitutes personal data, you have the rights described in our Privacy Policy, including access, rectification, erasure, restriction, objection, and withdrawal of consent.

To exercise these rights, contact us at inquiry@vitshineex.world. You may also lodge a complaint with Datatilsynet: www.datatilsynet.no.

9. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy to reflect changes in technology, legislation, or our practices. The latest version will always be available on this page with the revision date shown above.
