Cookie policy

Cookies are small text files that a website stores on your computer, tablet or phone. They make sure the website works properly and let us see how visitors use the site. Some cookies are placed by us. Others are placed by parties we work with, such as Google.

We divide our cookies into three groups: necessary, analytics and marketing. On your first visit, you choose which groups you allow. Only the necessary cookies are always on.

These cookies are needed to make the website work. For example, they remember your cookie choice and make sure forms are sent securely. These cookies do not collect data for statistics or advertising. No consent is required for these cookies.

• CraftSessionId: keeps track of your visit so the website works properly. Retention period: until you close your browser.
• CRAFT_CSRF_TOKEN: protects forms against misuse. Retention period: until you close your browser.
• cc_cookie: remembers which cookies you have accepted. Retention period: 6 months.

With these cookies we measure how visitors use our website, such as which pages are visited and how long someone stays on a page. This helps us improve the website. We use Google Analytics for this. We only place these cookies if you give your consent.

• _ga: tells visitors apart. Retention period: 13 months.
• _ga_T55TD2ST6W: keeps track of your visit for statistics. Retention period: 13 months.

How we use Google Analytics:

• Google Analytics does not store IP addresses.
• We do not share the data with other parties.
• We keep the data in Google Analytics for no longer than 14 months. After that, Google deletes it automatically.
• If you decline analytics cookies, Google only receives anonymous counts without cookies. We cannot link these to you or your device.

Our website contains videos from YouTube and Vimeo. These videos only load once you accept marketing cookies or click “Load video” yourself. We show YouTube videos in privacy-enhanced mode (youtube-nocookie.com). When you play a video, YouTube or Vimeo may still store cookies or similar data. To find out what they do with it, read the privacy policies of YouTube and Vimeo.

If you accept marketing cookies, Google may also link the statistics to your Google account (Google Signals). We only see combined figures, for example which countries our visitors come from. We never see who you are.

Google and Vimeo are American companies, so data may also be processed in the United States. Both companies participate in the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework. This means they follow European rules on the protection of personal data.

You can change your choice at any time using the Cookie preferences button at the bottom of every page. If you withdraw your consent, we delete the analytics cookies from our own website.

You can also delete cookies yourself in your browser settings. Your browser’s help section explains how.

Our privacy statement explains how we handle your personal data and what rights you have. Do you have questions about this cookie policy? Please contact us.
