2. Cookies

When you visit our website it can be necessary to store and/or read certain data from your device by using technologies such as cookies.

Some cookies ensure that certain parts of the website work properly and that your user preferences remain known. By placing functional cookies, we make it easier for you to visit our website. This way, you do not need to repeatedly enter the same information when visiting our website and, for example, the items remain in your shopping cart until you have paid. We may place these cookies without your consent.

2.2 Statistics cookies

We use statistics cookies to optimize the website experience for our users. With these statistics cookies we get insights in the usage of our website.

2.3 Marketing/Tracking cookies

2.4 Social media

On our website, we have included content from Facebook, Instagram and Twitter to promote web pages (e.g. “like”, “pin”) or share (e.g. “tweet”) on social networks like Facebook, Instagram and Twitter. This content is embedded with code derived from Facebook, Instagram and Twitter and places cookies. This content might store and process certain information for personalized advertising.

3. Placed cookies

Most of these technologies have a function, a purpose, and an expiration period.

  1. A function is a particular task a technology has. So a function can be to "store certain data."
  2. Purpose is "the Why" behind the function. Maybe the data is stored because it is needed for statistics.
  3. The expiration period shows the length of the period the used technology can “store or read certain data."
