This page contains information about the processing of personal data, including the use of cookies on zanzu.no. The Directorate of Health is the controller regarding personal data which is processed in connection with visits to the website zanzu.no.

Visits to the zanzu.no website

Every time someone visits our website, our system automatically collects data and information from the user's computer. The following data is collected, but only stored in anonymised form after the end of the session:

  • part of the IP address of the user's call system, anonymised in abbreviated form
  • time and duration of the visit
  • pages and files opened during the visit
  • the website that the user was visiting before they visited our website (referral page)
  • search terms used by users to gain access to the website, and search terms used during internal searches
  • visits to external websites accessible via links on our website
  • system information from users (operating system, browser, browser language, device type, screen resolution)

The legal basis for the temporary storage of data and log files while you are visiting the site is Article 6(1)(f) of the EU’s General Data Protection Regulation.

The Directorate of Health hires server services for Zanzu.no from Hetzner Online GmbH, which is based in Germany. All traffic to the site is therefore routed to their servers in Germany.

The Norwegian Directorate of Health uses the Google Analytics tool to monitor the number of visitors to the site, how the site is used and the origin (country/place) of the site traffic. IP addresses are anonymised immediately, so it is not possible to identify visitors.

Processing of the aforementioned data allows us to analyse how users use our website. Analysing the data that is collected enables us to collect information about use of the individual components of the website. The purpose of the data collection is to enable us to assess the website's goal attainment and continually improve the content and user-friendliness of the site.

The website uses tracking and analytics cookies to improve the quality of the website and its content.

The user must consent to the use of tracking and analytics cookies the first time they visit the website.

Integration of third party services and content

We use content or services from third party providers on our website.

This always assumes that third party providers know the IP address of the users, because they need it in order to send the desired content. The IP address is therefore required in order to present the content. We want to make sure that we only use such content if a provider needs the IP address in order to provide the content. Third parties may also use what are known as ‘pixel tags’ (invisible graphics, also known as ‘web beacons’) for statistical purposes. ‘Pixel tags’ can be used to evaluate information, such as the number of visitors to the different pages of this website. The anonymous information can also be stored in cookies on the user's device. If you would like more information about the purpose and scope of data collection by third party providers, as well as the further processing of it, please read the respective providers' privacy policies.

We use the following third party services and content:

ReadSpeaker

We include the text-to-speech function of ReadSpeaker from ReadSpeaker, Dolderseweg 2A, 3712 BP Huis ter Heide, Netherlands
