Frequently Asked Questions

Norway is introducing stricter cookie rules, aligning with GDPR standards, set to take effect on January 1, 2025. The key changes include:
  • Passive consent will no longer be valid.
  • Consent must be freely given, specific, informed, and unambiguous.
  • Users must have the option to opt-in to individual cookie purposes instead of blanket consent.
  • The term “necessary” for exempt cookies has been replaced with “strictly necessary,” potentially narrowing the scope of cookies exempt from consent requirements.
Additionally, websites must provide users with:
  • Clear and unambiguous information about the cookies used.
  • Details on what information is collected and processed.
  • The purpose of data processing.
  • Who processes the information.
This information should be readily available upon entering the website, either as a visible link in the footer, a text box on the front page, or a cookie banner.

When does the updated E-com Act enter into force?

The Norwegian Parliament has processed and adopted the proposal, and it is now awaiting formal implementation, which is set to take place on January 1, 2025.

Who needs to comply with the E-com Act?

The new Norwegian Electronic Communications Act (EKOM), applies to any website or app that targets Norwegian users or operates in the Norwegian market, regardless of the domain name or language. This includes:
  • Websites under a .no domain
  • Websites or apps in Norwegian
  • Websites or apps targeting a Norwegian audience, such as those that:
    – Advertise to Norwegian users
    – Offer prices in Norwegian kroner (NOK)
    – Have features tailored for Norway
    – Collect personal data from Norwegian residents

What happens if I don’t comply with the updated E-com Act?

The penalties for failing to comply with the Norwegian Electronic Communications Act can be severe:
  • For breaches of the Electronic Communications Act, fines of up to 5% of a company’s total sales revenue from the previous accounting year can be imposed, depending on the length and severity of the infringement.
  • For repeated infringements related to the duty to respond to information requests, penalties can reach up to 4% of the company’s annual turnover or up to 25 million NOK, whichever is higher.
To collect valid cookie consent under the new Norwegian Electronic Communications Act, you should:
  • Obtain active, specific consent from users before placing non-essential cookies on their devices.
  • Provide clear and unambiguous information about cookie usage, including:
    – What information is processed
    – The purpose of processing
    – Who processes the information
  • Make this information easily visible when users access the website, such as through a cookie pop-up or a clearly visible link in the footer.
  • Ensure consent is freely given, specific, informed, and unambiguous, in line with GDPR guidelines.
  • Implement a consent management platform to collect and document valid user consents.
  • Provide easy mechanisms for users to withdraw their consent.
  • Collect granular consent for each purpose of cookie usage.
  • Avoid using pre-checked boxes to obtain consent.
