Last Updated: October 2025

Who We Are

Our website address is: https://www.gurrola-gulliksen.com

Gurrola Gulliksen (org.nr. 920154123) is a sole proprietorship (enkeltperson foretak) registered in Norway. We are committed to protecting your privacy and complying with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and applicable Norwegian data protection laws.

Information We Collect

Server Statistics

We use standard cPanel tools like Awstats to monitor website traffic and performance. These tools collect anonymous aggregated data such as page views, visitor counts, and general geographic information. No personally identifiable information is collected through these analytics tools.

Comments

When visitors leave comments on the site we collect the data shown in the comments form, and also the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help spam detection.

An anonymized string created from your email address (also called a hash) may be provided to the Gravatar service to see if you are using it. The Gravatar service privacy policy is available here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. After approval of your comment, your profile picture is visible to the public in the context of your comment.

Media

If you upload images to the website, you should avoid uploading images with embedded location data (EXIF GPS) included. Visitors to the website can download and extract any location data from images on the website.

Contact Forms

When you submit a contact form on our website, we collect the information you provide (such as your name, email address, and message content). This information is used solely to respond to your inquiry and is stored in our website database. We do not share this information with third parties except as necessary to respond to your request. Form submissions are retained indefinitely for record-keeping purposes, but you can request deletion of your submission by contacting us.

Cookies

If you leave a comment on our site you may opt-in to saving your name, email address and website in cookies. These are for your convenience so that you do not have to fill in your details again when you leave another comment. These cookies will last for one year.

If you visit our login page, we will set a temporary cookie to determine if your browser accepts cookies. This cookie contains no personal data and is discarded when you close your browser.

When you log in, we will also set up several cookies to save your login information and your screen display choices. Login cookies last for two days, and screen options cookies last for a year. If you select “Remember Me”, your login will persist for two weeks. If you log out of your account, the login cookies will be removed.

If you edit or publish an article, an additional cookie will be saved in your browser. This cookie includes no personal data and simply indicates the post ID of the article you just edited. It expires after 1 day.

Third-Party Services and Advertising

Google AdSense

This website uses Google AdSense, a service for including advertisements from Google Inc. (“Google”). Google AdSense uses cookies and similar technologies to display ads based on your previous visits to this and other websites. These cookies help Google and its partners serve ads to you based on your interests.

Data Collected by Google Ads:

  • Cookie identifiers
  • IP address
  • Device information
  • Browsing behavior on our site and other sites

You can opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Ads Settings. Alternatively, you can opt out of personalized advertising by visiting www.aboutads.info.

Social Sharing

We use Sassy Social Share to allow you to share content on social media platforms. When you use these sharing buttons, you may be sharing information with these third-party social networks. Please review the privacy policies of these social networks to understand how they handle your data.

Cloudflare Turnstile

We use Cloudflare Turnstile to protect our website from spam and abuse. Turnstile is a privacy-focused alternative to traditional CAPTCHAs that analyzes browser characteristics and interaction patterns to verify that visitors are human. Turnstile does not use cookies or track users across websites. For more information, please see Cloudflare’s Privacy Policy.

Embedded Content from Other Websites

Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g. videos, images, articles, etc.). Embedded content from other websites behaves in the exact same way as if the visitor has visited the other website.

These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with that embedded content, including tracking your interaction with the embedded content if you have an account and are logged in to that website.

Who We Share Your Data With

We do not sell, trade, or otherwise transfer your personally identifiable information to outside parties except as described in this privacy policy.

If you request a password reset, your IP address will be included in the reset email.

Third-party service providers (such as Google AdSense) may collect and process data as described in their respective privacy policies.

How Long We Retain Your Data

If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This is so we can recognize and approve any follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue.

For users that register on our website (if any), we also store the personal information they provide in their user profile. All users can see, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except they cannot change their username). Website administrators can also see and edit that information.

What Rights You Have Over Your Data

If you have an account on this site, or have left comments, you can request to receive an exported file of the personal data we hold about you, including any data you have provided to us. You can also request that we erase any personal data we hold about you. This does not include any data we are obliged to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes.

To exercise these rights, please contact us through our website contact form.

Where Your Data Is Sent

Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service.

Data may be processed by Google in connection with the AdSense advertising program as described in their privacy policy.

Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this privacy policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or for other operational, legal, or regulatory reasons. We encourage you to review this page periodically for the latest information on our privacy practices.
