What are cookies?

A cookie is a small file that is sent along with pages of this website and that is stored by your browser on your computer, laptop, phone or tablet. We use cookies to improve your experience on our website, including the language you prefer, the links you followed and content you viewed on our website. We may also share online data collected through cookies with our advertising partners. This means that when you visit another website, you may be shown advertising based on your browsing patterns on our website.

What type of cookies do we use?

There are 3 types of cookies: functional cookies, analytical cookies and tracking cookies.

Functional cookies
The functional cookies we use are intended to make our website and the forms on it work properly.
A functional cookie allows us to see which parts of the website you have viewed. We use this information to adapt our website as much as possible to the surfing behaviour of our visitors.
These functional cookies contain a different, temporary number each time you visit our website. If you have closed your browser, the cookies will be deleted.
We use the following functional cookies:

• PROFILE: This is a functional cookie that is necessary to distribute traffic across our web servers. This ensures that the website works efficiently and effectively.
• SSESSXXX999: This is a ‘session cookie’ that enables various website functions. For example, keeping track of whether a visitor has given feedback on a page or the language you prefer.

Website Usage Analysis
We use a statistics program with SEOvrienden.nl to analyse:

• which pages of our website are visited the most;
• how visitors came to our website;
• which search terms visitors use in our search engine.

For this purpose, like most websites, we collect IP addresses from our visitors. These IP addresses are stored in log files. The operator of our website stores the log files on the server for 31 days, so that they are available for the statistics program. After these 31 days, only aggregated information is available to the statistics program.
The IP addresses that we use for website usage analysis cannot be traced back to natural persons. This is because our website operator does not have any additional information to trace the IP addresses back to individuals and cannot obtain that additional information in a lawful manner.
