4. HOW DO WE USE COOKIES?

The third-party cookies used on our Website are mainly for understanding how the Website performs, how you interact with our Website, keeping our services secure, providing advertisements that are relevant to you, and all in all providing you with a better and improved user experience and help speed up your future interactions with our Website.

5. WHAT TYPES OF COOKIES DO WE USE?

5.1 Technical or functional 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.

5.4 Social media buttons

On our Website we have included buttons for Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn and Instagram to promote webpages (e.g. “like”, “pin”) or share (e.g. “tweet”) on social networks like Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn and Instagram. These buttons work using pieces of code coming from Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn and Instagram themselves. This code places cookies. These social media buttons also can store and process certain information, so a personalized advertisement can be shown to you.

Please read the privacy statement of these social networks (which can change regularly) to read what they do with your (personal) data which they process using these cookies. The data that is retrieved is anonymised as much as possible. Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn and Instagram are located in the United States.
