6. Visit our website
a. Cookies
Cookies are small text files that are stored locally on your computer when you download a website. We do not currently use cookies on our website, nor do we currently use cookies to conduct web analyses.
If we decide to use cookies at a later date, we will obtain your prior consent and update this data policy.
b. Statistics from our web server
We may use logs from our web server to generate statistics of our website traffic on www.ligl.no. We use these statistics to improve the information on our website. The information contains different variables, such as which pages you have visited, your searches with our search engine, the time and date of your visit as well as technical information about your device. The web server will delete the IP address of visitors immediately. In practice, it will not be possible to identify visitors based on the remaining parameters. Hence the statistics are anonymous. It means that the information cannot be linked to you as an individual.
The legal basis for the generation of anonymous statistics is Article 6.1 (f) of the GDPR, which allows us to process information that is necessary to safeguard a legitimate interest that outweighs the consideration of the individual's privacy. Our legitimate interest is to improve and further develop information on our website.

Request correction or deletion of your personal data: You can ask us to correct incorrect data that we have about you, and in some situations, you can ask us to limit our processing of your data, or ask us to delete them. We will, insofar as possible, accommodate requests to delete personal data.
