Cookies
SINTEF uses cookies/information capsules on sintef.no, byggforsk.no, sintefbok.no and sintefcertification.no.

Our own "SID" for sintefbok.no and byggforsk.no (session management - tracks login and makes it possible to carry out an online shopping, takes care of the user's settings on the websites, is used to create statistics on use of the website).

We are working on discontinuing Google Analytics and switching to Matomo as an analysis tool. In a transition period until the summer of 2023, both of these tools will set cookies on sintef.no. All data is processed anonymously, and SINTEF cannot use data to identify individuals and their use of our websites.
