Cookie and Tracking Technologies Policy

Technical definition of cookies

Cookies are small text files or code fragments that are sent to your browser and stored on the hard drive of your computer, tablet, or mobile device. They act as a technical memory for the website, allowing the server to recognize your device on a subsequent visit. This enables us to retain certain information about your interactions, preferences, and settings without you having to re-enter them with each visit.

The function within our services

For a platform with complex technical processes, cookies are indispensable. They ensure session persistence, which prevents you from having to log in again with every page transition. Furthermore, they help balance server load, making the website respond faster and improving overall performance for users in the Netherlands. Without these technologies, many interactive features of the site would not function properly.

Strictly necessary cookies

These cookies are essential for navigating the website and using basic functions, such as secure logins and session integrity. Without these cookies, the website cannot optimally deliver the services you have requested. Due to their operational nature, these cookies cannot be disabled in our systems, as they ensure the fundamental technical stability of the platform.

Performance and analytical cookies

These tools collect anonymous information about how visitors use our website. They help us understand which sections are most popular, how long users stay on the site, and whether they receive technical error messages. This data is used exclusively to improve the technical infrastructure and usability of the service, allowing us to optimize site architecture based on actual user behavior.

Functional cookies

Functional cookies allow the website to remember choices you make, such as your preferred language or regional settings. The purpose is to provide a more consistent and personalized experience, so you don't have to manually adjust your settings with each visit. If you do not accept these cookies, some personalization features may not work correctly.

Marketing and tracking technologies

Sometimes we use cookies to manage informative messages more effectively. These cookies track what type of content is technically relevant to you based on your browsing behavior. They also help to limit the frequency of certain notifications and analyze the effectiveness of our communication. These cookies are only placed with your explicit consent.

Upon your first visit to our platform, you will be asked to indicate your preferences via an information banner. You have the right to decide which non-essential cookies you wish to allow. You can change your settings at any time via the privacy dashboard at the bottom of the website. Your choice will be digitally stored to respect your privacy choices on future visits.

In addition to the tools on our website, most modern web browsers offer the ability to manage cookies via their own settings. Users can typically:

• Block third-party cookies in privacy settings.
• Delete cookie and site data history when closing the browser.
• Receive a warning before a website attempts to place a cookie.
• Use private browsing mode to prevent the storage of permanent data. Please note: completely disabling cookies may reduce the technical quality of our services and limit access to advanced features.

In certain cases, we use services from trusted third parties who may also place cookies on your device for traffic analysis or integrating external functions. We have no direct control over the technical implementation of these external cookies. We recommend that you consult the privacy and cookie policies of these external providers for more information on their data processing.

We reserve the right to periodically update this Cookie Policy to reflect changes in technology or legislation in the Netherlands. Each update will be published on this page with a revised date. We advise users to regularly review this document to stay informed about how we use these technologies for your protection.
