Cookie policy
v1.2 · Last updated: 21 October 2026
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, lov 13. desember 2024 nr. 76, in force 1 January 2025) and the GDPR. You give and manage your consent through our cookie banner, and you may change or withdraw it at any time (see Section 5 below).
This Cookie Policy is provided by Panion Norge AS, org. no. 937 759 614, Tønsnesvegen 14, 9020 Tromsdalen, Norway. Contact: hello@panion.travel.
Further information on how we process personal data, including legal bases, data subject rights, and retention periods, is set out in our Privacy Policy.
2. Categories of cookies we use
a) Strictly necessary (No consent required)
b) Functional (Consent required)
c) Analytics (Consent required for cookies in the EU/EEA, UK and Switzerland)
Google Analytics measures usage statistics (e.g. pages visited, time spent, traffic sources) so we can improve the platform.
We count visits to our sites without cookies for every visitor. If you are in the EU/EEA, UK or Switzerland and have not accepted cookies, nothing is stored on your device. Instead we create a temporary code from your IP address, browser type and the site, mixed with a random value that changes and is deleted every day, so we cannot recognise you on another day. We never store your IP address. With this we record pages viewed, steps in the booking process, bookings, your country and region, and your device type. Google Analytics and Google Ads receive cookieless signals without identifiers until you accept. Meta, Microsoft Clarity and chat tools only run after you accept. You can change your choice at any time with “Cookie settings” in the footer. Outside Europe, analytics and advertising are on by default. US visitors can use “Do not share my data”, and we honour Global Privacy Control everywhere.
På norsk: Vi teller besøk på nettstedene våre uten informasjonskapsler for alle besøkende. Hvis du er i EU/EØS, Storbritannia eller Sveits og ikke har godtatt informasjonskapsler, lagres ingenting på enheten din. I stedet lager vi en midlertidig kode av IP-adressen din, nettlesertypen og nettstedet, blandet med en tilfeldig verdi som byttes ut og slettes hver dag, slik at vi ikke kan kjenne deg igjen en annen dag. Vi lagrer aldri IP-adressen din. Slik registrerer vi hvilke sider som vises, steg i bestillingsprosessen, bestillinger, land og region og hvilken type enhet du bruker. Google Analytics og Google Ads mottar signaler uten informasjonskapsler og uten identifikatorer til du godtar. Meta, Microsoft Clarity og chatverktøy kjører først etter at du har godtatt. Du kan endre valget ditt når som helst med «Cookie settings» nederst på siden. Utenfor Europa er analyse og annonsering slått på som standard. Besøkende i USA kan bruke «Do not share my data», og vi respekterer Global Privacy Control overalt.
d) Marketing / advertising (Consent required in the EU/EEA, UK and Switzerland)
Meta Pixelmeasures the effectiveness of our marketing on Meta’s platforms (Facebook, Instagram) and helps us show relevant ads to users who have visited panion.travel.
For the data collected via the Meta Pixel, Panion and Meta Platforms Ireland Ltd. act as joint controllersunder GDPR Article 26. Further information is available in Meta’s controller terms and in our Privacy Policy.
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.
Bókun (a TripAdvisor company) may act as an independent data controllerfor certain processing carried out for its own and the TripAdvisor group’s purposes.
