Cookie Policy

Last updated: March 2025

1. Who we are and how to contact us

The operator of this website and the party responsible for the use of cookies and similar technologies described in this policy is:

If you have questions about this Cookie Policy or about how we use cookies, you can contact us using the details above.

2. What are cookies and similar technologies?

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device (computer, tablet or mobile) when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently, to remember your preferences, and to provide information to the site owner. Similar technologies include local storage, session storage, and pixels or beacons that may be used for similar purposes. In this policy we use the term “cookies” to refer to cookies and such similar technologies where relevant.

Cookies can be “first-party” (set by us) or “third-party” (set by a different domain, e.g. an analytics or advertising provider). They can also be “session” cookies (deleted when you close your browser) or “persistent” cookies (they remain for a set period or until you delete them).

3. Legal basis and your consent

Under the ePrivacy Directive (as implemented in Dutch law) and the GDPR, we must inform you about the cookies we use and, for non-essential cookies, obtain your consent before placing them. Strictly necessary cookies are those that are essential for the operation of the website (e.g. security, load balancing, remembering your cookie preferences) and do not require consent. All other cookies (e.g. analytics, marketing) are only used with your consent. You can withdraw or change your consent at any time via our cookie banner or the “Cookie settings” option, or by adjusting your browser settings as described below.

4. Categories of cookies we use

4.1 Strictly necessary cookies

These cookies are essential for the website to function. They enable basic features such as page navigation, secure access, and remembering your cookie consent choices. The website cannot function properly without these cookies. They do not store personally identifiable information in a way that is used for profiling. We do not need your consent to use strictly necessary cookies, and you cannot disable them via our cookie settings while still using the site.

4.2 Analytics cookies

These cookies help us understand how visitors use our website (e.g. number of visitors, which pages are visited, how long they stay). This allows us to improve the site and the user experience. The data is generally aggregated and may be shared with our analytics providers. We use these cookies only if you have given your consent in our cookie banner or cookie settings. You can withdraw consent at any time.

If we use specific analytics tools (e.g. Google Analytics), we will configure them in line with data protection requirements (e.g. anonymisation of IP where possible, data processing agreements). Details of specific analytics cookies, their purpose and duration will be updated here if and when such tools are implemented.

4.3 Marketing cookies

Marketing cookies may be used to deliver relevant advertisements, to limit how often you see an ad, or to measure the effectiveness of campaigns. They may be set by us or by third-party advertising partners. We use marketing cookies only with your consent. You can withdraw consent at any time via cookie settings or your browser.

If we introduce specific marketing or advertising tools in the future, we will list the relevant cookies, their purpose, duration and any third parties in this section.

5. How long we store cookies

Session cookies are deleted when you close your browser. Persistent cookies remain on your device for the duration specified in the table above or until you delete them. You can delete all cookies at any time via your browser settings. After you change your preferences or delete cookies, the updated settings will apply on your next visit; some features that depend on cookies may no longer work until you accept the relevant category again.

6. How to manage or disable cookies

You can manage your preferences for non-essential cookies on this website by:

• Using our cookie banner when you first visit the site (Accept all, Reject, or Cookie settings).
• Clicking “Cookie settings” in the footer or in the cookie banner to turn analytics and marketing cookies on or off.

You can also block or delete cookies via your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to refuse all cookies, accept only first-party cookies, or delete cookies on a per-site basis. The method depends on your browser; typically you will find options under “Settings” or “Preferences” and “Privacy” or “Security”. Blocking all cookies may affect the functionality of this and other websites. For more information, see your browser’s help pages (e.g. Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge).

7. Third-party cookies and links

When we use third-party services (e.g. analytics, payment, embedded content), those providers may set their own cookies. We do not control these cookies. We encourage you to read the privacy and cookie policies of those third parties. We only work with providers that we believe comply with applicable data protection law and, where relevant, we have data processing agreements in place.

Our website may contain links to other websites. This Cookie Policy does not apply to those sites. We are not responsible for their use of cookies or their privacy practices.

8. Your rights

Under the GDPR, you have rights in relation to your personal data, including the right to access, rectify, erase, restrict processing, object, and to data portability, as well as the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority. Where we process personal data via cookies (e.g. identifiers linked to you), these rights apply. For full details, see our Privacy Policy. To exercise your rights or to withdraw consent for cookies, contact us using the details in section 1 or use the cookie settings on this website.

9. Updates to this Cookie Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our use of cookies or in the law. The “Last updated” date at the top will be revised when we make changes. We encourage you to review this page periodically. Where changes are significant, we may notify you by a notice on the website or by email if we have your contact details.
