Cookies
We are required by Article 11.7a of the Telecom Law to inform visitors about cookies, and ask for your agreement to allow us to use cookies. Via this cookie statement, we would like to tell you about the cookies that we use.
We use cookies on our website in order to:
- Improve your user experience by anonymous monitoring of visits to our website
- Make it possible to share information on social media
- Measure the effectiveness of our online marketing campaigns, and adapt online advertising to your interests
What is a cookie?
To be able to inform you about cookies, we first need to explain what a cookie is. A cookie is simply a tiny file that is sent along with the pages of this website and stored by your browser on the hard disk of your computer. The information it contains can be sent back to our servers if you visit again later.
First party cookies, such as functional cookies, are cookies that are installed by the site you are actually looking at. These are necessary to allow the site to work properly, and do not contain any personal or traceable data. We also use session cookies to store settings and data that apply to you, during your visit. This might include your preferred language and values you filled in on a form. These cookies are automatically deleted as soon as you close your web browser.
We also make use of third party cookies. These are cookies for services which the site makes use of. These cookies are also stored by third parties, with agreements in place about how the cookies can be used. The privacy and cookie policy of the company involved will apply to the use of third party cookies. So you need to read their privacy statements. We only store these non-functional cookies after you have agreed to them.
When you visit our website for the first time, we display a message explaining cookies. We then ask for your consent to use these cookies. You can choose to allow all cookies or only the basic cookies that are statistical, functional and anonymous cookies necessary for the proper functioning of our site. You can change your preferences and/or withdraw your consent at any time from this page. You can also disable cookies directly in your browser, but some elements of our website may not function properly.
Analytical cookies
As well as the above types of cookies, our website makes use of a cookie that is issued by the American company Google, as part of their “Analytics” service, Google AdWords and the Google Dynamic Remarketing services. Google states clearly what they do with this data and information. The reason that we use these cookies is so that we can track how often our website is visited. It also provides us with information about how visitors use our website, and so we can provide you with all the support you need in finding the right answer. The consolidated data we collect is processed and analysed by Ubbink BV and an external party. We do not permit this other party to use the data they receive from us for any other purpose than what is agreed between us. In this way, we can make sure that the experience of our website is improved continuously. Google may pass this information to third parties, if Google is required to do so by law, or if those third parties process the information on behalf of Google. We have no control over this. We have given Google permission to use the Analytics information they receive from us for other Google services.
We would like to point out that the information that Google collects is anonymised as far as possible. In particular, your IP address is deliberately not included. The information is sent to Google, who store it on servers in the United States. Please read Google's privacy statement (which can change at any time) to find out what they do with your (personal) details that they process via these cookies. You can find Google's privacy policy here.
Social media
Social media cookies and third party cookies are issued by the various websites of the social media themselves. If you click a social media button on our website, then a social media cookie will be stored. The social media party can recognise your IP address at the moment when you ask to share any part of our website. These website buttons are included to be able to promote or share web pages (“like” “tweet”, "share") on social networks such as LinkedIn, Facebook, and YouTube. These buttons work using fragments of code that come from LinkedIn, YouTube and Facebook themselves. The cookies are stored using this code. We have no control over this. Please read the relevant privacy statement (which can change at any time) to find out what these parties do with your (personal) details that they process via these cookies.
The information that these companies collect is anonymised as far as possible. The information is sent to LinkedIn, Facebook and YouTube and they store it on servers in the United States. LinkedIn, Facebook and YouTube have pledged to respect the Safe Harbor principles and are part of the Safe Harbor programme of the United States Department of Trade. This includes references to an appropriate level of protection for the processing of any personal data.
