Our Cookie Policy

At CultureFlow, we are committed to protecting your privacy. This cookie policy explains how we use cookies and similar technologies on our website cultureflow.no.

What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are stored on your device (computer, tablet, or mobile) when you visit a website. They help websites remember information about your visit, which can make your next visit easier and the site more useful to you.

Our Use of Cookies

We use cookies in three categories. Only the strictly necessary category is active by default. Analytics and marketing cookies are set only after you accept them in our cookie banner, and you can withdraw that consent at any time using Cookie settings in the footer.

We use two analytics tools and they work differently. PostHog does not use cookies: it counts visits using a privacy-preserving identifier calculated on its own servers, so nothing is stored on or read from your device, and no consent is required. Google Analytics does use cookies and stays off until you accept.

Essential Technical Cookies

Strictly necessary cookies are essential technical cookies required for the website to function properly. They are always active and do not need consent. These may include:

• Session cookies: Temporary cookies that are deleted when you close your browser
• Security cookies: Cookies that help protect against security threats
• Load balancing cookies: Cookies that help distribute website traffic efficiently
• Handover cookie (cs_handoff): When you start a Cultural Signature on this site, this cookie carries the first name and email address you have just entered across to signature.cultureflow.no, so the app does not ask you for them a second time. It is set on cultureflow.no and its subdomains, it expires after 30 minutes, and the app deletes it as soon as it has read it. It is not used for analytics or advertising.

With the single exception of the handover cookie above, which carries only what you typed yourself and only for as long as it takes to move you to the next page, these essential cookies do not collect personal information. All of them are necessary for basic website functionality.

Third-Party Cookies

When you consent, cookies are set by third parties: Google for analytics, and Meta and LinkedIn for advertising. These providers may process data outside the EEA under appropriate safeguards, including EU Standard Contractual Clauses and, where certified, the EU-US Data Privacy Framework. If you do not consent, these cookies are not set.

Under GDPR and Norwegian data protection law, you can:

• Accept or reject non-essential cookies using our banner
• Change or withdraw your consent at any time via Cookie settings in the footer
• Control cookies through your browser settings (see below)
