Web analysis and cookies

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer when you download a website. We use cookies to:

• facilitate the best possible functionality and user experience on the websites
• generate statistics

We collect aggregated statistics on the use of our website. This gives us insight into how many people visit each page, how long you spend on the pages, which websites you come from and which browser you use.

The legal basis for the collection of statistics is Article 6 (1) (f) of the GDPR (legitimate interest). Our legitimate interest is to be able to evaluate and further develop the functionality and content of the website.

We use analysis tools from Piwik Pro, SemRush and Site Improve on our website. EEAgender uses the analysis tool Matomo.

If you give consent, we may also use cookies for optional purposes. The service is provided by Cookie Information.

Personal data when chatting with us

Our chatbot answers general questions based on information from our website, provides links to our contact services, and allows users to submit a case to the Research Council directly through the chat. ServiceNow is the provider.

We store your conversations for up to 60 days to be able to recover the conversation and improve. (Cases submitted through the chat when the user is not logged in are anonymized 30 days after the cases have been closed.)

For privacy reasons, we ask you not to enter personal information, such as your name, email address, phone number and health information.

The chatbot provides you with answers to general questions based on information from forskningsradet.no. It does not answer questions that require lookups in personal data.

To ensure the best possible quality of the answers, the chatbot is continuously analysed and improved by AI trainers. This involves reviewing and adjusting responses to make them more relevant, precise, and useful to users. The AI trainers do not have access to personal data in anonymous chats, and all evaluation takes place in accordance with our privacy policy.

The legal basis for the processing is Article 6(1)(a) of the General Data Protection Regulation, as you voluntarily use the chatbot for communication and possibly provide personal data about you
