Cookie Policy

Cookies are small text files placed by a website on your computer, smartphone, or other device when you visit it. These files typically contain information about your browsing behavior and preferences. We primarily use cookies to distinguish you from other users, to remember your language choice and login status, and to ensure the overall security of your session. Without certain cookies, many of the core functions of our platform, such as securely logging into your account or remembering your account preferences, would simply not function correctly. Furthermore, cookies help us collect anonymous statistics, which gives us insight into how visitors navigate our pages, allowing us to continuously improve the structure and content.

We categorize the cookies on our platform based on their function and purpose. Below you will find a detailed explanation of the different types of cookies you may encounter during your visit.

Strictly necessary cookies

These cookies are essential for the operation of our platform and cannot be disabled in our systems. They are usually only set in response to actions you take that amount to a request for services, such as setting your privacy preferences, logging into your account, or filling out forms. These cookies do not collect information about you that can be used for marketing purposes and do not remember where you have been on the internet. If you set your browser to block these cookies, parts of the platform will not work.

Performance and analytical cookies

These cookies allow us to count visits and traffic sources so we can measure and improve the performance of our platform. They help us know which pages are the most and least popular and see how visitors move around the website. All information these cookies collect is aggregated and therefore anonymous. If you do not allow these cookies, we will not know when you have visited our website and will not be able to monitor or optimize its performance.

Functional cookies

Functional cookies enable the platform to provide enhanced functionality and personalization. They may be set by us or by external providers whose services we have added to our pages. The purpose of these cookies is to provide you with a more personalized experience based on your previous visits and selections. If you do not allow these cookies, some or all of these services may not function correctly.

Targeting and advertising cookies

We may use targeting cookies to build a profile of your interests and show you relevant communications or advertisements. They do not directly store personal information but are based on the unique identification of your browser and internet device. If you do not accept these cookies, you will experience less targeted advertising. We make limited use of this category, depending on your explicit consent and the applicable regulations within your region.

We believe it is important that you maintain control over your own data. Upon your first visit to our platform, you will be asked via a pop-up window (the cookie banner) to give your consent for the placement of non-essential cookies. At that moment, you can choose to accept all cookies, reject all non-essential cookies, or adjust your preferences by category. You can review and change these preferences at any time by navigating to the cookie settings via the link at the bottom of our pages.

In addition, most modern web browsers offer you the option to manage cookies via the browser settings. You can set your browser to warn you before a cookie is placed, or you can choose to reject cookies from certain domains or all domains. You can also manually delete already placed cookies. However, please note that disabling cookies via your browser may affect the functionality of many websites, including ours. Consult the 'Help' function of your specific browser for detailed instructions on managing cookies.

In some cases, we use reliable third parties who place cookies on our behalf. This includes, for example, providers of analytical software that help us gain insight into the use of our platform. These external parties have their own privacy and cookie policies. Although we carefully select with whom we cooperate, we have no direct control over the cookies placed by these third parties. We advise you to consult the policies of these external providers for more information about their practices regarding data collection and processing.

We reserve the right to revise this cookie policy from time to time to ensure it remains current with new technological developments, operational practices, and legal requirements in the Netherlands and beyond. When we make significant changes, we will notify you by publishing the updated version on this page and adjusting the revision date. We encourage you to check this page regularly.

If you have any questions, comments, or concerns about our use of cookies or this cookie policy, please contact us using the information provided in our privacy policy. Our customer service is ready to assist you with any ambiguities regarding your privacy and online security.
