About the website

We inform about how we handle cookies and other privacy issues on the site.

We also describe how we work with accessibility on the website and in our publications.


Integrity policy

Cookies

This site uses cookies – small text files that are placed on your machine to help the site provide a better user experience. Cookies are used to retain user preferences and provide anonymised tracking data to third party application Siteimprove. Nikk.no uses Siteimprove to enhance user experience and make changes to the website in order to meet user needs. No data that can identify individuals are collected. As a rule, cookies will make your browsing experience better. However, you may prefer to disable cookies on this site and on others. The most effective way to do this is to disable cookies in your browser.

These cookies are set when a page is loaded, on all pages of the web site:

nmstat (1000 days): collects statistics about our visitors’ usage of the web site, for example, when a visitor last visited the web site.

This information is then used to improve on the visitors’ usefulness and experience of the web site. This cookie contains a randomly generated ID which is used to identify the web browser, when a visitor reads a page. The cookie contains no personal information and is only used for web analysis. 

It is also used to track the sequence of pages a visitor browses during a visit. This information can then be used to simplify our visitors’ navigation and to improve the possibilities to more quickly and easily find information.

AWSELBCORS (is stored temporarily during the visit, for as long as the web browser is kept open): secures that all page views for the same visit are sent to the same end point. This makes it possible to discern in what order a visitor browses the pages of the web site, which is necessary, to be able to trace behaviours and navigation paths which our visitors frequently use.

Processing personal data 

The University of Gothenburg (where NIKK and the Swedish Secretariat for Gender Research are placed) is responsible for all processing of personal data that takes place as part of our activities. We safeguard all information entrusted to us.

How we handle applications for funding

NIKK stores applications in a separate database and on our private server, to assess and administer applications and to be able to keep in contact with the participating organisations – and for follow up and evaluation. We also share information with the Nordic Council of MInisters’ representatives for the same reasons.

Accessibility

Accessible documents

The publications and other media NIKK have produced from September 2018 are made accessible. If you are looking for older publications or media and need them made accessible: contact us, and we will help you.
