SPNVISUALZ / Privacy

Your visit.
Your choice.

This page explains what the site stores, what optional measurement and advertising tools may do, and how you can change your choice at any time.

Who is responsible

SPNVISUALZ is the controller for information collected directly through this website. For privacy questions or requests, email spnvisualz@gmail.com.

Last updated: 6 September 2026.

Consent categories

Necessary

These functions keep your privacy choice and basic experience working. The site stores your consent selection in local storage and may use session storage to avoid replaying short visual introductions. Necessary functions cannot be switched off through the site preference panel.

Analytics

If you choose Analytics and a valid Google Analytics 4 measurement ID has been configured, the site may measure visits, pages, traffic sources, device category, approximate country, engagement and selected interactions. This helps SPNVISUALZ understand which work and content visitors find useful.

Advertising

No advertising is served on this website at present, and no advertising or ad-personalisation cookies are set. The privacy panel on this site offers analytics only, because it is not a Google-certified consent management platform and therefore cannot lawfully collect advertising consent.

Advertising storage, advertising user data and ad personalisation are set to denied by default for every visitor under Google Consent Mode v2, and they stay denied until a certified consent platform is in place. Google’s ad tag is not loaded on this site while that is the case.

Information that may be processed

  • Technical information such as browser, device category, screen size and approximate location.
  • Visit information such as referral source, viewed pages, engagement time and interactions with projects, services or contact links.
  • Information you intentionally send by email or through the project enquiry process.

SPNVISUALZ does not ask this website to collect special-category personal data. Please do not include sensitive information in an initial project enquiry.

Providers and transfers

The website is delivered through GitHub Pages, which processes request data such as your IP address in order to serve the site. Optional analytics is provided by Google Analytics 4 and runs only with your consent. No advertising provider processes data through this site at present. These providers process data under their own terms and may use infrastructure outside Norway or the EEA with applicable transfer safeguards.

Retention for optional services is controlled through their account settings. SPNVISUALZ will choose proportionate settings and remove data that is no longer needed for the purpose it was collected.

Your rights

Depending on the situation, you may have rights to access, correct, delete or restrict personal data, object to certain processing, withdraw consent and receive portable data. You may also complain to Norway’s data protection authority, Datatilsynet.

Withdrawing consent does not make earlier consent-based processing unlawful. Use the button below to change future choices on this browser.

Advertising: current status and what would change

Current status. This site does not display advertising. Google AdSense code is not loaded on any page, no ad unit is requested, and no advertising identifier or advertising cookie is created. The site holds an AdSense publisher ID (ca-pub-6262494647963659) and an ads.txt record declaring it, but ownership records alone do not serve ads or process visitor data.

If advertising is activated. Should advertising be enabled in future, it would apply only to long-form articles in the Visual Lab. The homepage, portfolio and Selected Work, website services and pricing, this privacy page, the about and author pages, and the contact and ordering experience would remain permanently ad-free. Google Auto Ads would not be used; only individually placed units in fixed positions after the editorial content.

What Google would do at that point. Google and its advertising partners would use cookies and similar technologies stored on your device, plus your IP address, to serve and measure ads and to limit how often the same ad is shown. Depending on your choice, ads may be personalised (selected using data about your activity across sites and apps), non-personalised (selected using general context such as the page content and your approximate location, though these still use cookies for frequency capping, aggregate reporting and fraud prevention), or limited (served with restricted data use where required by law). Serving would begin only after a Google-certified consent management platform recorded the required consent.

Withdrawing consent. You can change or withdraw your choice at any time using the “Privacy settings” control in the footer of any page, or the button in the previous section. Withdrawal takes effect for future processing on this browser. Because your choice is stored locally on the device, clearing site data resets it and the panel will ask again.

Google’s own controls. Independently of this site, you can manage advertising through Google directly at My Ad Center and Google Ads Settings. Google explains how it uses data from sites that use its services in its partner sites notice and its privacy policy. Third-party vendors may also be managed via YourAdChoices and Your Online Choices in Europe.

This section will be updated before any advertising is enabled, not after.

Storage used on this site

  • Local storage — spn_privacy_choices. Necessary. Stores your privacy choice, the version of the notice it was given against, and when it was made, so you are not asked repeatedly. Remains until you clear site data.
  • Session storage. Necessary. Used to avoid replaying short visual introductions within a single browsing session. Cleared when the tab closes.
  • Google Analytics 4 cookies (_ga, _ga_<id>). Optional, analytics only, set only after you accept analytics. Used to distinguish visitors and sessions for aggregate reporting.
  • Advertising cookies and identifiers. None. Not set, because no ad code is loaded.
