Cookie Policy
This Cookie Policy explains how Nordova Travel ehf. uses cookies and similar technologies when you visit nordova.is.
What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. They help websites operate, remember preferences, understand how visitors use the site and, where permitted, support advertising or marketing functions.
Types of Cookies
- Strictly Necessary Cookies: These are required for core website functions, such as secure browsing, session management, booking steps, payment processing and remembering your privacy choices. They cannot normally be switched off through the cookie preference tool.
- Functional Cookies: These remember choices such as language or other settings and help provide enhanced features.
- Analytics Cookies: These help us understand how visitors use the website, for example which pages are visited and whether the website is functioning effectively.
- Marketing Cookies: These may be used to measure advertising, build audiences or show relevant advertising on this or other websites.
Consent
Strictly necessary cookies may be used where they are required to provide a service requested by you or to make the website function. We will ask for your consent before placing or using non-essential cookies and similar technologies where consent is required. You can accept all, reject non-essential cookies, or manage your choices through the Cookie Preferences tool.
Third-Party Cookies
Some website functions may be provided by third parties, such as analytics providers, map services, booking systems, embedded content or payment providers. Those providers may use their own cookies or similar technologies, subject to their own privacy information and the choices you make through the consent tool. The actual third parties used must be listed or made clear in the website’s live cookie declaration.
Cookie Duration
Cookies may be session-based, meaning they expire when you close your browser, or persistent, meaning they remain on your device for a defined period or until deleted. The duration depends on the specific cookie and its purpose. The website’s cookie declaration should show the names, providers, purposes and durations of cookies actually in use.
Managing Cookies
You can change or withdraw your consent at any time by opening Cookie Preferences on the website. You can also manage or delete cookies through your browser settings. Blocking certain cookies may affect some website features or booking functions.
Personal Data
Where cookies or similar technologies process personal data, that processing must comply with applicable data protection law, including the GDPR as applicable in Iceland. For information about other personal data processing, the website should provide a separate Privacy Policy.
Policy Updates
We may update this Cookie Policy when our website, technology, service providers or legal requirements change. The updated version will be published on nordova.is with a revised effective date.
