The Oslo Cancer Cluster website is developed by Oslo Cancer Cluster SA and Increo in Sanity. 

Two women collaborating in a bright office environment. The woman on the left, wearing a striped dress and glasses, is standing while smiling and looking at the computer screen. The woman on the right, with long red hair, also wearing glasses and a sleeveless striped blouse, is sitting and using a computer mouse, appearing engaged and cheerful. A laptop, a wireless keyboard, and a coffee mug are visible on the white desk, indicating a work setting. The background shows a large window with a blurred view of greenery outside, suggesting a modern and open workspace.

Responsibility for the web pages and information about GDPR.

Oslo Cancer Cluster SA owns and has the overall responsibility for the website oslocancercluster.no and the processing of information that has been collected automatically and by the event registration forms and newsletter sign-up forms.

This information is needed in order to make the website easy to use and ensure that it is secure and stable. This includes ‘cookies’, and logs of the Internet Protocol (IP) addresses of computers that connect to the website and of traffic to and from the website.

The processing of this information is carried out in accordance with Norway’s personal data legislation and the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), which set out technical and administrative measures, rules, and requirements regarding employees’ skills and expertise in this field.

Logging and monitoring

When you visit the Oslo Cancer Cluster website, your IP address is registered. This is necessary for you to be able to connect with the website. Oslo Cancer Cluster has a legitimate interest in logging traffic to identify or prevent any undesirable activity directed toward the websites. These logs can be used to help prevent illegal access to electronic communication networks and the spreading of malware (malicious codes), and can also be used to help stop Denial-of-Service attacks and prevent damage to computers. Traffic is only logged to the extent strictly necessary and proportionate to ensure network and information security.

Cookies

The website uses cookies. Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer by websites that you visit. Oslo Cancer Cluster uses cookies for various purposes, including statistics, technical monitoring, and technical functionality. The storage and processing of information that has been collected by cookies is not permitted, unless the user has been informed and has consented to this. Under section 2-7b of the Electronic Communications Act, the user must be informed about the information that is to be processed, what the purpose is, and who will be processing the information, and the user must consent to this.

Cookies do not entail any security risk for you, but you can at any time block the storage of cookies on your machine.

Statistics and event registration

Oslo Cancer Cluster collects information about visitors to websites. Statistics are used to improve and further develop webpages. Your name and email and place of work are only used to sign you up for our events. Data collected for the events are names, emails and place of work, and may also contain other, optional fields. Data for event registration is stored for one month after the event before it is erased from our database.

We use the tools Google Analytics to analyse the information collected. The statistics can tell us:

  • How many people visit the various pages
  • How long each visit lasts
  • Which websites the users come from
  • Which browsers are used
  • What country they are in

Google Analytics uses cookies that register users’ IP addresses, and that provide information on the individual user’s browsing activity. Oslo Cancer Cluster anonymises the user’s IP address before this information is stored and processed by Google. This means that the IP address cannot be used to identify the individual user. In addition, all the data is processed in groups, not at the individual level.
