Cookies

What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files that are placed on the hard drive of your computer by your browser (such as Internet Explorer, Safari, Firefox, Chrome) every time you visit a website. The cookie allows your browser to recognise when you visit a website again. The use of cookies is important to ensure the proper functioning of the website, and even the cookies which do not have a visible effect (such as Google Analytics) are very important. Without anonymous input from our visitors, we cannot gain insight into the use of our website and learn how to improve our website.

Cookie legislation
As of 5 June 2012, when the Telecommunications Act came into force, websites must inform you when they want to place cookies on your computer that carry out tasks such as tracking your personal browsing behaviour. They are only permitted to be placed after you have given your consent. Websites do not need your consent to place cookies that are necessary for a service or for the functioning of a website. These are files that may track, for example, what is in your virtual shopping cart.

Which cookies do we use on this site?
The cookies that we use on this website can be divided into the following categories:

* Strictly necessary cookies
These are cookies that are necessary to allow a website to function properly and are automatically placed when you visit a website. For example, if you click away a message about cookies, this type of cookie will still be placed on your computer to store your response. For strictly necessary cookies, we do not require your consent.

* Functional cookies
These cookies are placed to make it possible to use third party websites. E.g. YouTube and Google Maps.

* Statistics
To allow us to improve the website, we use Google Analytics. This is a service from a company that allows us to track how users use the website. The data that we receive is anonymised as much as possible. We only use this data to improve the website. Your IP address is not shared with us. Google may share data with third parties if Google is legally obliged to do so, or to the extent to which third parties process this information on behalf of Google. We have no influence over this.
