About which cookies and similar technologies we use, what we use them for, and how you can manage your cookie settings.
We use cookies and similar technologies when you visit our website and use our logged-in services. This is technology that stores small pieces of information in your browser, or that retrieves information about your computer, tablet or mobile. In this text, we use the term "cookie" to describe this type of technology.
We need cookies to make nav.no as user friendly as possible. Essential cookies are strictly necessary for website functionality and security. As a result, these cookies are not optional. We would also like to use cookies to collect data for statistics and analytics, and to conduct voluntary user surveys. By accepting these cookies, you help us improve our website and services.
The data we collect is only used to make better Nav's state and municipal services better. We do not share this data with external parties outside of Nav. Your right to receive financial support or services from Nav is not affected if you choose to reject the use of cookies.
To make our website and services better, we need to understand how people use them. We gather insights using cookies from various tools, including Amplitude, Hotjar, Task Analytics, Umami, Skyra and Uxtweak. In addition, UX Signals uses technologies to detect your browsers language and time zone (fingerprinting).
The purpose of these cookies is to collect the data necessary to improve our services without identifying you. We have taken steps to prevent identification, and we do not share data with third parties.
These cookies are optional. If you approve them, you help us gather valuable data that we rely on to improve our services and your user experience.
These are the names of our optional cookies and a description of what they do. If there's an asterisk (*) after the name, the description applies to all cookies that start with that name.
AMP_*
Cookies set by Amplitude collect data for statistical analysis of how the website is used, including the time, region, type of browser, and visited pages.
The statistics are anonymized and cannot be traced back to individual users. To prevent identification, we use a custom-developed proxy that removes parts of your IP address before sending the data to Amplitude.

The data includes a technical ID to track which survey version (e.g., A, B, or C) you were selected for, so you get the right version if you choose to participate later. Note that invitations to UX Signals surveys can be shown even if you have declines optional cookies.
Essential cookies are always active. They are strictly necessary for the functionality and security of the website and our logged-in services. For example, they ensure basic functionality when you log in, fill out forms, or use our chat. We also need them to find and fix errors.
Other essential cookies help us give you the best possible experience when you use the site. They remember some of your settings and choices, so you don't have to make them again each time you visit.
