Cookie Policy

This policy explains the cookies and similar technologies we use. In the Netherlands, consent for non-essential cookies is required under Article 11.7a of the Telecommunications Act (Telecommunicatiewet), alongside the GDPR.

Essential cookies

We use strictly necessary cookies to keep you signed in and secure your session (set by our authentication provider). These are required for the service to work and do not need consent.

Analytics cookies (consent required)

We use Google Analytics via Google Tag Manager to understand how the site is used: which pages are opened, which features are used, and where people stop. Nothing is stored on your device unless you opt in through our consent banner, and there are no pre-ticked boxes. Until you choose, Google Tag Manager runs in a mode that is not allowed to store anything.

Advertising cookies (consent required)

If you accept advertising cookies, Google Ads may record that a visit or a purchase followed one of our advertisements, and may show you our advertisements on other websites. This is a separate choice from analytics: you can accept one and refuse the other, and refusing has no effect on anything you can do or buy here.

We do not sell your data, and we do not use these cookies to build a profile about you beyond measuring and showing our own advertising.

Counting without cookies

We also keep anonymous usage counts on our own servers. These place nothing on your device, need no consent, and cannot identify you. The Privacy Policy describes exactly what is recorded and what is deliberately left out.

Managing your choice

You can change or withdraw your consent at any time through the consent banner or your browser settings. Withdrawing consent does not affect the essential cookies needed to run the service.
