Saving visitor statistics
The website saves data on traffic/visitor statistics. The statistics show how often each individual area of the website has been visited. We are not able to trace use of the website back to individual persons.
Examples of information saved are the number of visitors to the different pages, which websites they came from, how much time they spend reading the website and which browsers are used. The data saved is utilised for the improvement and further development of the website's contents and offers.
The system for visitor statistics is based on Universal Analytics, and the website makes use of an option in Universal Analytics to make all readers' IP addresses anonymous so that these cannot be saved by Google or helsenorge.no.
If however you do not want the website to collect anonymous data from you, you can remove data collection by going to the following address:

About saving keywords
The website saves information on the keywords used by visitors. The purpose of this is to improve the information we provide. We can track which keywords get a hit and which search results are chosen by visitors. Only the keywords are saved, and they cannot be linked to other information about visitors.
