Last Updated: March 10, 2026
This Cookie Policy supplements our Privacy Policy and explains how Fjord Barber Academy AS (“we”) uses cookies and similar technologies on our website. It applies to visitors located in Norway and elsewhere in the EEA who access our site to learn about barber courses, workshops, and consultations delivered in Oslo, Norway. For broader information about how we handle personal data, see our Privacy Policy located at /privacy-policy/.
What are cookies and similar technologies
Cookies are small text files placed on your device that store information about your visit. They can remember your preferences, help the site function, and measure how pages perform. We also use related technologies such as pixel tags and server-side identifiers that work together with cookies to understand basic usage patterns, measure conversions, and improve our Oslo-focused course pages. In this policy, we refer to all of these as “cookies”.
Types of cookies by lifespan and origin
Session cookies are erased when you close your browser. Persistent cookies remain for a defined period or until you delete them. First‑party cookies are set by Fjord Barber Academy AS. Third‑party cookies are set by our service providers (for example, analytics or advertising partners) to support site measurement and marketing relevant to our Oslo courses.
Categories we use and purposes
1) Essential cookies (no consent required): These enable core site operations such as page navigation, security, session continuity, and your cookie preference storage. The website cannot function properly without them.
2) Analytics cookies (consent-based): With your consent, we use analytics to understand aggregated traffic, popular pages, and how visitors move through our Oslo course content. We configure analytics with IP anonymization and retain data only as long as necessary for performance insights.
3) Marketing cookies (consent-based): With your consent, marketing cookies support remarketing and conversion measurement for our barber courses in Norway. They help show ads that are more relevant and measure which ads led to enquiries.
