Cookies to measure visits (anonymous)
Analytic cookies enable us to measure website visits. These statistics give us an insight into how often our website is used, which information visitors are looking for and which pages are visited most. Through this we know which parts of the website are popular, and which areas of the website we can improve. We continuously analyse and improve our website in order to make the visitors’ experience as enjoyable as possible. The statistics that we gather cannot be traced back to individuals. These details are always gathered anonymously. We use Google Analytics to get an insight into the data. We have entered into a processor agreement with Google for this, and besides masking the last octet of the IP address (anonymization) we have also turned off the "data sharing". We do not make use of any other Google services in conjunction with Google Analytics cookies.

Analytic cookies are placed with every visit to our website. Analytic cookies (_ga,_gat en_gid) gather amongst other things the following details:

• Your IP address (the traceability of visitors is limited as much as possible by the anonymization of the last groups of digits of each IP address);
• A record of the number of visitors to our web pages;
• A record of the duration of the visit;
• Location (on the basis of anonymized IP addresses);
• The searches performed on the website;
• Details about your browser and the device which you use to visit our website such as operating system and screen size;

Cookies for social media integration
On our website we sometimes show videos and other content that you can promote and share on social media via a button. To allow these buttons to work social media companies (such as Twitter, Facebook, YouTube and Google) install cookies so that they can recognise you when you are logged in to that social network. Through this they also collect details on the page that you share. These cookies are only placed when you actually promote or share content. For more information on the details which social media companies gather we refer you to the privacy statements of these companies. These can change regularly.
