When you use the NPRA’s website, vegvesen.no, cookies will automatically be stored on your computer or device
Cookies are small information files (text files) that the website stores on your computer or your device. The anonymised information in such files is used by the NPRA to manage, develop and analyse our website.
The duration of your website visit, what pages you visit and what choices you make are examples of cookie contents. A cookie is not harmful and cannot contain viruses or software programs.
The legal basis for such processing of data is found in Article 6. 1 (a) of the General Data Protection Regulation (EU) and Section 2-7 (b) of the Norwegian Electronic Communications Act.
What do we use the information for?
The NPRA is responsible for operation, management and development of the website, which is administered through the Optimizely publishing platform.
We work continuously to improve and develop our website to help you, our users, find and understand the information you are looking for, and accomplish what you came to do. In order to be able to learn how you use our web pages, we use tools for the analysis and measuring of search patterns and user behaviour.

We do not in principle store cookies on your device without asking you first. However, certain cookies support core functionality related to security and infrastructure. These are cookies we have considered necessary and they are therefore stored without consent.
Information cookies at vegvesen.no
We are currently not using analysis tools that can store cookies on your device when you use vegvesen.no. Web pages where we have embedded contents from other, external facilities may, however, store cookies on your device. Content under vegvesen.no/trafikk is embedded from such an external service.
Analysis tools
Google Analytics
We use the Google Analytics analysis tool to collect information about how users use our web pages, how they find their way, what they search for and what pages they use most frequently. The information cannot be traced back to single individuals.
Google Analytics stores parts of a user’s IP address, but the final eight digits of the address is removed for the sake of data protection. Google thus does not store detailed geographical information about users, only geographical area or municipality.
We also use the tool Google Tag Manager together with Google Analytics. This gives us data about how selected elements on our website work, such as menus and buttons, file downloading or video viewing.
The information is subject to Google's privacy policy.
Questback
On our web pages we carry out surveys using the Questback tool 2-4 times per year. These surveys are anonymised, and the tool is only active while the survey is going on.
Questback is data processor and the NPRA is the data controller. The use of Questback is subject to Questback's privacy policy.
Feedback from users
Users may submit feedback directly on certain web pages and in our digital facilities (Your Page). Users can choose to provide written feedback in a text field in answer to “Did you get the help you needed?” and/or select the reply “Yes” or “No”. Users are instructed not to enter personal data or other identifiable information. Feedback is stored in the Optimizely publishing platform for 3 months.
