What are cookies
Cookies are small pieces of text sent by your web browser by a website you visit. A cookie file is stored in your web browser and allows the Service or a third-party to recognize you and make your next visit easier and the Service more useful to you. Cookies can be “persistent” or “session” cookies.
Types cookies
Session cookies are specific to a particular visit and carry information as you view different pages so you do not have to re-enter information every time you change pages or attempt to checkout. Session cookies expire and delete themselves automatically in a short period of time like after you leave the site or when you close your web browser.
However, for cookies that are useful but not strictly necessary we will always ask for your consent before placing them. We gather consent in accordance with the GDPR in cases where cookies utilize personal data. In other cases, consent is gathered in accordance with the Norwegian Law For Electronic Communication.
Persistent cookies remember certain information about your preferences for viewing the site, and allow Us to recognize you each time you return. Persistent cookies are stored on your browser cache or mobile device until you choose to delete them, and otherwise typically delete themselves at expiration.
First-party vs. third-party cookies
As well as the cookies provided and used by us (first-party cookies), various third parties might also in some cases place them on your computer, with your consent.
Third-party cookies are placed by someone other than us, and may gather browsing activity across multiple websites and across multiple sessions. They are usually a type of persistent cookie and are stored until you delete them or they expire based on the time period set in each third-party cookie.
At the current time, the third-party cookies on everviz are CloudFlare hosting cookies used to record website and server performance, as well as preventing DDoS attacks.

Should you not consent to the usage of these cookies, the service will not work.
