Cookies

What are cookies?
A cookie is a small file stored by your browser (such as Internet Explorer, Safari, Firefox, Chrome) on your computer’s hard drive each time you visit a website. The cookie allows your browser to then be recognized on repeated visits to a website. The use of cookies is very important for the proper running of the website, but cookies whose effect you do not immediately see (such as Google Analytics) are also very important. Without anonymous input from visitors, we have no idea how the website is being used and how we can improve it.

Cookie Legislation
Since June 5, 2012, the Dutch Telecommunications Act requires websites to inform you if they want to place cookies that track your personal browsing behavior. They may only place these cookies with your consent. Websites do not need your permission for cookies that are necessary for the functioning of a service or webshop. For example, these include files that keep track of what you have in your virtual shopping cart.

What cookies does this site use?
The cookies used in this website can be divided into the following categories:

Strictly Necessary Cookies
These are cookies essential for the proper functioning of the website and are automatically enabled when you visit the site. For example, if you choose not to see the cookie notification again, this preference is stored—this is a strictly necessary cookie. You do not need to give consent for these cookies.

Functional Cookies
These cookies are placed to enable the use of third-party website applications, such as YouTube and Google Maps.

Statistics
To improve the website, we use Google Analytics. This is a service provided by a company that enables us to track how visitors use the website. The data we receive is anonymized as much as possible. The municipality uses the data only to improve the website. Your IP address is expressly not provided. Google may provide data to third parties if Google is legally required to do so, or insofar as third parties process the information on Google’s behalf. We have no influence on this.
