This Cookie Policy explains what cookies CERES uses, why we use them, and how you can control them. CERES is operated by Northflow Technologies AS. For broader privacy information, see our Privacy Policy.

1. What Are Cookies

Cookies are small text files stored on your device by your web browser when you visit a website. They allow the website to remember information about your visit. Some cookies are essential for the site to function; others are optional and require your consent under GDPR.

2. Cookies We Use

Cookie / TechnologyTypePurposeDurationConsent Required
Consent preference (nf_consent)FunctionalStores your cookie choice so we do not ask repeatedly. Kept as a first-party cookie with a copy in your browser's local storage.180 daysNo: stores your choice
Google Analytics 4 (_ga, _ga_*)AnalyticsMeasures page views, session duration and device type to help us understand how CERES is used. Set only after you accept analytics.Up to 14 monthsYes: analytics consent required

3. Your Consent Choice

CERES sets no login or session cookies. The only cookie set without consent records the choice you made in the consent banner.

4. Google Analytics 4

We use Google Analytics 4 to understand how visitors use CERES: which pages are visited, how long sessions last, and what device types are used. We do not use it for advertising or remarketing.

The Google tag loads on every page in Consent Mode, with analytics and advertising storage denied by default. Until you accept, it sets no analytics cookies, and Google may receive cookieless measurements such as the page and browser type. If you accept, the cookies above are set. Google processes this data under a Data Processing Addendum, and Google Analytics 4 does not store IP addresses.

You can change your choice at any time using the controls below, or install the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.

When the CERES widget is embedded on another site, it loads neither Google Analytics nor the consent banner, and it sets no cookies.

5. Other Services Your Browser Contacts

These services set no cookies through CERES, but your browser connects to them directly, so they receive your IP address as part of the request:

6. How to Control Cookies

You can manage cookies in several ways:

7. Third-Party Links

CERES links to external sites (FEWS NET, IPC, WFP, OCHA, etc.). These sites have their own cookie policies which we do not control. We recommend reviewing their policies separately.

8. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy when we add or remove cookies. The date at the top of this page reflects the most recent revision.
