    Functional cookies, analytical cookies, and tracking cookies:

    Cookies are small files that a website places on your computer, smartphone, or tablet during your visit to the website.

    Functional cookies
    Functional cookies are necessary for the proper functioning of a website. They remember, for example, your password and your preference settings, such as the language in which you want to read the website. They also remember which article you have placed in a shopping cart in a web store. And they track how you surf through the website. With this information, the website owner can analyze and improve the operation of the website. He/she may not use the data to create a profile of the internet use of your website visitor, for example. For the placement of functional cookies, a website does not need to ask for your permission. However, the owner of a website must inform website visitors about the use of functional cookies on the site in a privacy statement. For example, where the cookie is used and whether other parties also have access to the data collected by the cookie.

    Analytische cookies
    Analytical cookies measure website visits, which allows the owner to improve his/her website. Think of the number of visitors and the most visited web pages. Many people use Google Analytics for this purpose.

    If the data is anonymized, the website owner is not obliged to place a cookie notification about analytical cookies. However, he/she must mention the use of analytical cookies in the privacy statement.

    Tracking cookies
    Tracking cookies track visits to the website to build a profile of website visitors. Based on this, they can optimize the website or show ads tailored to you. Tracking cookies are not necessary for the proper functioning of a website. The Telecommunications Act requires the owner of a website to ask for your permission to place these so-called tracking cookies. For example, a screen or pop-up may appear on your screen with information about the cookies and the request to click on “agree.” Or it may state that you agree as soon as you use the website. You are free to give or not give permission. Furthermore, the use of tracking cookies must be mentioned in a privacy statement.

    No permission
    If you do not give permission, it may be that not all functionalities will work during your visit to the website. For example, you may not be able to share an article via your social media. If you visit a website of a government institution, they are not allowed to deny you access to the website if you do not accept cookies. Other websites are not obliged to grant you access if you refuse cookies. However, the supervisory authority Autoriteit Consument & Markt (ACM) does encourage websites to find a solution for people who refuse cookies but still want to view the website.

    Permission granted
    If you give permission, the website usually stores this permission in a cookie. The permission then applies as long as this consent cookie is on your computer, tablet, or smartphone. The duration of the cookie on your device is indicated when consent is requested. You do not have to give permission again with each repeated visit to a website. The consent cookie has already remembered that you have given permission. You can also revoke your permission. For example, by deleting the cookie from your computer, tablet, or smartphone. This means that you will have to be asked for permission again for placing cookies on your device during your next visit to the website.
