1. What cookies are

Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. We also use similar technologies such as pixels, local storage and SDKs (collectively referred to as “cookies” in this policy).

Use of cookies that are not strictly necessary for the website to function requires your consent under the Norwegian Electronic Communications Act (ekomloven § 3-15) and the GDPR. You give and manage your consent through our cookie banner.

This Cookie Policy is provided by Panion Norway AS, org. no. 937 759 614, Turistvegen 83, 9020 Tromsdalen, Norway. Contact: hello@panion.travel.

2. Categories of cookies we use

a) Strictly necessary (No consent required)

These cookies are required for the platform to function. They handle session management, security, load balancing, and remembering your cookie choices. They cannot be switched off.

b) Functional (Consent required)

Remember your language and other preferences to give you a better experience.

c) Analytics (Consent required)

Google Analytics— measures usage statistics (e.g. pages visited, time spent, traffic sources) so we can improve the platform.

d) Marketing / advertising (Consent required)

Meta Pixel— measures the effectiveness of our marketing on Meta’s platforms (Facebook, Instagram) and helps us show relevant ads.

e) Affiliate / referral tracking (Consent required)

We use Bókun (a booking and reseller management platform owned by TripAdvisor) to track which Panion(e.g. Airbnb host, hotel, guide, taxi driver) referred you to a booking. This is done through a unique tracking code in the URL and/or a cookie set when you arrive via a Panion’s link or QR code, so that the correct Panion receives commission.

If you decline this cookie, you can still book activities, but we cannot guarantee that commission is correctly attributed to the Panion who referred you.

For more information about Bókun’s processing, see Bókun’s privacy notice at bokun.io/privacy-policy.
