Addition to the Privacy Policy
  
This cookie policy is an addition to the privacy policy of this website. The cookie policy explains how a website uses cookies and what data is collected with them, while the privacy policy provides a more comprehensive overview of all data processing activities on the website and beyond.
 
What are cookies and similar technologies?
 
Cookies are small pieces of information that resemble text files and can be stored and read on a device. They are used for various purposes, including the basic functions of the website, security, privacy, offering optional features, collecting statistical data about visitors, and providing marketing systems. Practical examples of information that can be stored in cookies include: storing login status in user accounts, the contents of shopping carts on e-commerce platforms, or a user ID for tracking behavior on the website.
 
Technically, this information can be stored in various ways. The most well-known examples are HTTP cookies and similar technologies such as local storage, session storage, or IndexedDB. Each type of storage has different properties that determine technical processing, accessibility, and the administrators who have access to the information. All these forms of storage are usually collectively referred to as “cookies” and are therefore referred to as such in this cookie policy.
 
What is the legal basis for placing/reading cookies?
 
The placement and reading of cookies in the European Union (EU) and the European Economic Area (EEA) are, in accordance with Article 11.7a of the Telecommunications Act and Article 129 of the Law on Electronic Communication (Belgium), only permitted if a user has given consent based on comprehensive information about the purposes of the processing. The website administrator may also place cookies if they are strictly necessary to provide you, as a user, with the explicitly requested service, for example, the basic content of this website or other strictly necessary cookies to display the basic functionality of the website without your consent.
 
The placement and reading of cookies in the Netherlands are, in accordance with Article 11.7a of the Telecommunications Act, only permitted if a user has the opportunity to object to the processing of data based on comprehensive information about the purposes of the processing. In exceptional cases, consent must be obtained for the processing of personal data in cookies.
