What Are Cookies
Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites function efficiently, remember user preferences, and provide information to website operators. Cookies may be set by the website you are visiting, known as first-party cookies, or by third-party services embedded in the website, known as third-party cookies. Similar technologies include local storage, session storage, and pixel tags, which serve comparable functions and are covered by this policy.
How We Use Cookies
Drillingsafe uses cookies on drillingsafe.world for the following purposes related to our active recreation program services:
- Ensuring the website functions correctly, including navigation, form submission, and secure page loading over HTTPS.
- Remembering your cookie consent preferences so the consent banner does not appear on every visit.
- Understanding how visitors interact with our program pages, adventure package listings, and contact form to improve user experience.
- Maintaining session state during your browsing visit to provide a consistent experience.
Categories of Cookies We Use
Strictly Necessary Cookies
These cookies are essential for the operation of drillingsafe.world and cannot be disabled through our cookie preferences without affecting core functionality. They include cookies that enable page navigation, load balancing, security features, and storage of your cookie consent choice. Strictly necessary cookies do not require consent under the ePrivacy Directive because the website cannot function without them.

Functional Cookies
Functional cookies enable enhanced features and personalization, such as remembering display preferences or form field inputs during a session. These cookies may be set by Drillingsafe or by third-party providers whose services we integrate. Disabling functional cookies may limit certain website features but will not prevent access to core program information and contact functionality.
Analytics Cookies
Analytics cookies help us understand how visitors use drillingsafe.world by collecting aggregated, anonymized information about page views, navigation paths, time on site, and referral sources. This data assists us in improving content about our trail programs, kayaking packages, and cycling adventures. Analytics cookies are only activated when you accept cookies through our consent banner.
Third Party Cookies
Some cookies on our website are set by third-party services we use to deliver specific functionality:
- Google Fonts: Loads typography assets. Google may collect usage data under its own privacy policy.
- Font Awesome CDN: Delivers icon assets required for website navigation and visual elements.
- Google Maps embed: Displays our Laksevåg office location. Google sets cookies when the map iframe is loaded.
We do not control third-party cookies. Please review the respective privacy and cookie policies of these providers for detailed information about their data practices.
Legal Basis for Cookie Use
Under the GDPR and the Norwegian Electronic Communications Act (Ekomloven), we process cookie data based on the following legal grounds:
- Strictly necessary cookies: Legitimate interest in providing a functional website for our active recreation services.
- Non-essential cookies including analytics and functional cookies: Your explicit consent, obtained through our cookie consent banner when you click Accept.
You may withdraw consent for non-essential cookies at any time by clearing your browser cookies or declining cookies when prompted. Withdrawing consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing based on consent before withdrawal.
Managing Your Cookie Preferences
You can control and manage cookies in several ways:
- Use the Accept or Decline buttons on our cookie consent banner displayed when you first visit drillingsafe.ddd.
- Adjust your browser settings to block or delete cookies. Most browsers allow you to refuse all cookies, accept only first-party cookies, or delete cookies when you close the browser.
- Consult your browser help documentation for specific instructions. Common browsers include Chrome, Firefox, Safari, and Edge.
Please note that blocking all cookies may prevent certain features of drillingsafe.world from working correctly, including the cookie consent memory function, which may cause the consent banner to reappear on each visit.
Cookie Retention Periods
Cookie retention periods vary depending on their purpose:
- Session cookies are deleted automatically when you close your browser.
- Persistent cookies remain on your device for a defined period or until manually deleted. Our consent preference cookie is retained for one year.
- Third-party cookie retention is governed by the respective provider policies and may differ from our first-party cookie durations.
Do Not Track Signals
Some browsers offer a Do Not Track (DNT) signal. There is currently no universally accepted standard for how websites should respond to DNT signals. Drillingsafe does not alter its data collection practices in response to DNT signals at this time, but we honor cookie consent choices made through our banner.
