Cookie Policy

Our commitment

Necessary technology first. Optional tracking stays optional.

Cookies are small pieces of data stored or read by a website through your browser. Similar technologies can perform the same functions. This policy explains the categories Skaftafell.org may use and how you can control them.

01

Strictly necessary storage

Necessary technologies support security, traffic delivery, consent records and features that cannot operate without short-lived browser state. They are used only for the service requested or for essential protection.

Because these functions are necessary to provide the website, they may not be controlled through an optional-cookie toggle. You can still configure your browser, although blocking all storage may affect functionality.

02

Analytics and performance

If enabled, analytics helps us understand which pages are useful, where navigation fails and how the site performs across devices. Where consent is required, analytics storage should not be activated before you make a positive choice.

We prefer aggregated reporting and data minimisation. Analytics should not be used to make sensitive assumptions about an individual visitor.

03

Affiliate and external services

A partner link may contain a referral identifier. When you follow it, the destination provider may use cookies or similar methods to attribute a later booking. The partner's own cookie and privacy information applies on its website.

Embedded maps, videos or other external tools can also set or read data when loaded. Where practical, non-essential third-party content should be held back until the required choice is made.

04

Managing your choices

Withdrawing consent does not invalidate processing that occurred while valid consent was in place. Browser-level deletion may remove a remembered consent choice, causing the site to ask again.

  • Use the site's cookie controls when available.
  • Change browser settings to delete or block stored data.
  • Review the settings of the external service you choose to visit.
  • Return to the consent controls if you want to withdraw an optional choice.
05

Session and persistent cookies

A session cookie normally expires when the browser session ends. A persistent cookie remains for a defined period or until it is deleted. The exact name, provider, purpose and duration should be available through the active consent interface when optional services are enabled.

We avoid listing a fixed technical inventory here when that would become inaccurate as services change. The live consent tool should be treated as the current inventory.

06

Legal basis and updates

Necessary storage is used to provide the requested service and protect the site. Optional analytics, advertising or similar technologies are used on the basis required by applicable privacy and electronic-communications law, commonly consent.

This policy will be revised when the categories or purposes of storage materially change.
