What is a cookie?
A cookie is a small text file that via your browser is stored on your computer or device when you visit websites or use apps. Cookies make it possible to collect certain information, including information about which pages and functions you visit and use. Some cookies are technically necessary for functions you use on the platforms (for example so that we can store the contents of your shopping cart), but other cookies are used for other purposes (for example for compiling statistics). In the next section, you can read more about which cookies can be used. The first time you visit the one of our platforms, you will be presented with a 'cookie banner', where you can give your consent to our use of cookies here on our platforms. As shown below, you can always change your consent. However, the cookies that are technically necessary cannot be deselected, and are therefore stored without consent.

There are basically two main types of cookies - 'temporary' and 'permanent':

Temporary cookies are linked to your current visit on the website or in the app and are deleted automatically when you close your browser.

Permanent cookies are stored and will be renewed every time you visit the website or use the app. However, they delete themselves after a certain period of time. By using these cookies, it is possible to "recognize" you when you return to the website or the app, which we use, for example, to adapt our platforms to your interests. In cases where permanent cookies are used, their duration is stated in the table below.

In the table below it is stated for each cookie whether it is a temporary cookie (session cookie) or a more permanent cookie, which expires after a specified period of time.

A distinction is also made between 'first-party cookies' and 'third-party cookies'. First-party cookies are those that we apply ourselves, while third-party cookies are applied by a third party who has elements embedded on the platform that is used. In the table below you can see which cookies are applied by us and which cookies are applied by a third party.
