How We Use Cookies

As a corporate website, Kronerland AS uses minimal cookies. Our website primarily serves informational purposes about our company and products.

ℹ️ Google Consent Mode v2 - Privacy-First Analytics

  • Basic page view counts (no user tracking)
  • Country-level location only (no city or IP tracking)
  • General device type and browser
  • No cookies stored on your device
  • No personal identifiers or cross-site tracking

Third-Party Services

We use the following third-party services that may set cookies:

Google Analytics

We use Google Analytics to understand how visitors use our website. When you accept analytics cookies, Google Analytics collects information such as:

  • Number of visitors and page views
  • How visitors arrived at our site (search engines, direct links, referrals)
  • Pages visited and time spent on each page
  • Geographic location (country/region level)
  • Device and browser information

Data Transfer Notice: Google Analytics data may be transferred to and processed on servers located in the United States. Google LLC is certified under the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework.

We have configured Google Analytics to anonymize IP addresses and implemented Consent Mode v2 for privacy-focused tracking. Your data is subject to Google's privacy policy.

As a Norwegian company, Kronerland AS is committed to complying with:

⚠️ Important Notice About International Data Transfers

When you accept analytics cookies, Google Analytics may transfer your data to servers in the United States. While Google LLC is certified under the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework (adopted July 2023), ongoing legal challenges and recent rulings by European data protection authorities (including Norway's Datatilsynet in January 2025) have raised concerns about the adequacy of safeguards for such transfers.

Our approach to minimize risks:

  • We enable IP anonymization for all Google Analytics data
  • We implement Google Consent Mode v2 for privacy-first tracking
  • We offer "Essential Only" mode that uses cookieless ping data with minimal information
  • We collect analytics data only with your explicit consent
  • Google LLC is certified under the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework

By clicking "Accept All," you acknowledge that some of your data may be transferred to and processed in the United States under the current legal framework. You can withdraw consent at any time by clearing your cookies.

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or for legal, operational, or regulatory reasons. Significant changes will be communicated through:
