Cookie policy

This cookie policy is section 11 of our privacy policy.

This section describes our use of cookies and similar technologies on the Website and in the App, in accordance with the GDPR and Article 11.7a of the Dutch Telecommunications Act (Telecommunicatiewet).

11.1 Website

Our Website does not set analytics, advertising or tracking cookies. Our own website code sets no cookies and stores nothing in your browser. We do not show a cookie consent banner, because we only use technologies that do not require consent (see below).

Website statistics (Plausible Analytics). We measure use of the Website with Plausible Analytics from Plausible Insights OÜ (Estonia). Plausible does not use cookies and stores nothing in your browser. To count visits without tracking you, Plausible calculates an anonymous code from your IP address and User-Agent, using a key that is replaced and deleted every 24 hours; your IP address and User-Agent themselves are not stored. We only see aggregate statistics, such as pages visited, referring websites, browser, operating system, device type, and country or region, and never data about individual visitors. Plausible processes and stores this data in the EU. See Plausible’s data policy for details.

Bot check (Cloudflare Turnstile). The newsletter form and the contact form are protected with Cloudflare Turnstile from Cloudflare, Inc. (United States), to prevent spam and abuse by automated programs (bots). Turnstile is loaded on the pages that contain one of these forms and runs a short check in your browser. For this, Cloudflare processes technical signals such as your IP address, your browser’s TLS fingerprint and User-Agent, and the results of tests on your browser’s characteristics and behavior; to do so, Turnstile reads data from your browser and may also store data in it. Turnstile does not read what you enter in the forms. After the check, your browser sends a one-time code (token) along with the form; our server has Cloudflare verify that code, together with your IP address. According to Cloudflare, these signals are strictly necessary to detect and block bots, and are not used to identify, profile or track individuals. We consider this check strictly necessary to secure our forms and do not ask for consent for it. See Cloudflare’s Turnstile Privacy Addendum for details.

Apart from Plausible and Cloudflare Turnstile, the Website loads no third-party scripts or content, such as external fonts, videos or social media buttons. Links to social media (such as Instagram, LinkedIn and Facebook) on the Website are plain links; no social media trackers are loaded on our pages.

11.2 App

The App stores authentication tokens and your settings on your device. These are strictly necessary for the App to function (keeping you signed in, remembering your preferences) and are not used to track you.

The App does not use:

Legal basis: Strictly necessary storage is exempt from the consent requirement; for the underlying processing we rely on the performance of our contract with you and on our legitimate interest in providing a secure, functioning service.

11.3 Changes to Our Use of Cookies

If we introduce cookies or similar technologies that require consent in the future, we will update this policy and ask for your consent first, via a consent banner on the Website or an in-app prompt.
