Analytical cookies on the website
Below are the 3 analytical cookies we use:

Name Posted by Expires after Purpose
_ga Google Analytics 2 years Records a unique ID, which is used to generate statistical data on how the visitor uses the website. This information helps us to deliver better online functionality and user experience.
_gid Google Analytics Session termination Records a unique ID, which is used to generate statistical data on how the visitor uses the website. This information helps us to deliver better online functionality and user experience.
_gat Google Analytics Session termination Used by Google Analytics to slow down the query rate.

We would like to say the following about Google Analytics:
Our website uses Google Analytics to collect information on how visitors use our website and how they navigate through our website. This data includes the number of visitors, the source where they have come from, and which pages were visited (anonymous).
This allows us to see how visitors navigate through the website. We use this information to make decisions about the design of our website. In addition, we use it to optimise the functioning of the website.
We have taken the following measures to ensure the careful processing of this data:
• We have concluded a processing agreement with Google;
• We mask the last 8 bits of your IP address if you have indicated that you do not want statistical cookies;
• We have turned off all options offered by Google to "share data with Google";
• We do not use other Google services in conjunction with the Google Analytics cookies.

Would you prefer not to have your visitor's behaviour recorded? Then you can download a plugin from Google that prevents this. It is available for Microsoft Internet Explorer 11, Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Apple Safari and Opera. This setting then applies to all websites you visit, not just our website. See: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=nl

C) Advertising cookies
Finally, we use advertising cookies to track how many and which of our ads you have seen on our website and other websites. This prevents you from seeing the same ad over and over again. We use the information collected in conjunction with Google Analytics and Facebook Pixels for "re-targeting" through the Google and Facebook networks. Facebook also uses this information to place users in a particular "Custom Audience" so that they can then pre-select ads tailored to the preferences of that group.


Below are the 4 advertising cookies we use:

By integrating this tool, users are shown a banner when they access the page in which they can give consent for certain cookies and/or cookie-based applications by setting a checkmark. The tool blocks the setting of all cookies requiring consent until the respective user gives the corresponding consent by setting a checkmark.
