Last updated: 6 March 2025
1. Introduction
This Cookie Policy explains how Volkrannphodlarn (“we”, “us”, “our”) uses cookies and similar technologies on the website volkrannphodlarn.ddd. It should be read together with our Privacy Policy, which describes how we process personal data in general.
We are the controller of personal data processed in connection with cookies on this website. Our contact details are: Volkrannphodlarn, Leidsestraat 74-76, 1017 GM Amsterdam, Netherlands; email: contact@volkrannphodlarn.world; phone: +31 20 422 0210.
2. What are cookies and similar technologies?
Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device (computer, tablet, or mobile phone) when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently, to remember your preferences, and to provide information to the site owner. Similar technologies include local storage, session storage, and pixels or similar tracking technologies that may be used for similar purposes.
Cookies can be “first-party” (set by us) or “third-party” (set by a different domain, e.g. an analytics or advertising provider). They can also be “session” cookies (deleted when you close the browser) or “persistent” cookies (remain until they expire or you delete them).
3. Legal basis
Under the ePrivacy rules and the GDPR, we may use:
- Strictly necessary cookies: required for the website to function (e.g. security, load balancing, remembering your cookie preferences). These do not require your consent under the ePrivacy Directive as implemented in the Netherlands, but we still inform you about them.
- Analytics and performance cookies: used to understand how visitors use our website (e.g. number of visits, pages viewed). These typically require your consent in the Netherlands/EEA unless they are configured in a way that does not involve personal data or is strictly necessary.
- Marketing or targeting cookies: used to deliver relevant advertisements or to measure the effectiveness of campaigns. These require your consent.
Where consent is required, we will ask for it via our cookie banner or cookie settings and will only set such cookies after you have agreed.
4. Categories of cookies we use
4.1 Strictly necessary cookies
These cookies are essential for the website to work. They enable basic functions such as page navigation, form submission, and remembering your cookie consent choices. You cannot opt out of these cookies without affecting the functionality of the site.
Examples: cookie consent storage (e.g. to remember that you accepted or rejected cookies), security tokens, load-balancing or session identifiers where necessary for the operation of the site.
Legal basis: legitimate interest (operation of the website) or legal obligation where applicable.
4.2 Analytics cookies
These cookies help us understand how visitors interact with our website (e.g. which pages are visited most, how long users stay, whether they encounter errors). This information is used in aggregated form to improve our website and services. We use analytics only where you have given your consent or where we use a solution that does not involve personal data in a way that requires consent.
Examples: analytics tools that collect anonymised or pseudonymised usage data (e.g. page views, referrer, device type).
Legal basis: your consent.
Retention: as specified by the analytics provider and in our cookie consent tool, typically between 12 and 24 months for standard analytics cookies, unless a shorter period is set.
4.3 Marketing cookies
These cookies may be used to deliver advertisements relevant to you, to limit the number of times you see an ad, or to measure the effectiveness of advertising campaigns. They may be set by us or by third-party advertising partners. We use marketing cookies only with your consent.
Examples: cookies used for remarketing, conversion tracking, or interest-based advertising.
Legal basis: your consent.
Retention: as specified by the relevant provider, often up to 12–24 months, depending on the type of cookie.
