This document is an English-language version provided for information purposes only. The original Dutch version is the legally binding text. In the event of any discrepancy or dispute, including in court proceedings, the Dutch version shall prevail.
1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files placed on your device (computer, tablet, smartphone) when you visit a website. They enable the website to recognise your device and remember information about your visit, such as your language preference or login status. In addition to cookies, similar technologies may be used, including local storage, session storage and pixel tags. Where this policy refers to "cookies", these similar technologies are also intended.
2. Why Do We Use Cookies?
We use cookies to:
- ensure the proper functioning of the Platform and website;
- remember your preferences and settings;
- safeguard the security of your account and session;
- gain insight into how the website is used so that we can improve it;
- where applicable and with your consent, present relevant information about our services.
3. Legal Framework
The use of cookies in the Netherlands is governed by two laws:
- Section 11.7a of the Dutch Telecommunications Act (Telecommunicatiewet): requires that we inform you about the use of cookies and that we obtain your consent for certain types of cookies before they are placed.
- General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR): applies insofar as cookies process personal data, such as IP addresses or online identifiers.
Cookies that are strictly necessary for the operation of the website or Platform may be placed without your consent. For all other cookies, we request your explicit consent via the cookie banner.

We do not currently use any tracking or marketing cookies.
Should this change in the future, we shall update this cookie policy and request your explicit consent beforehand.
5. Third-Party Cookies
Some cookies are not placed by us but by third parties. This may occur when we integrate third-party services into our website or Platform. For each type of third-party cookie:
- We inform you via this cookie policy and the cookie banner;
