Introduction

The website www.Hexwise.nl uses cookies. This helps us provide you with a better user experience when you visit our website and allows us to optimise it. A cookie is a small file (technically simple) that is sent with pages of this website and stored by your browser on your computer’s hard drive. The information stored can be sent back to our server during your next visit. We are happy to explain what this means for you.

Use of permanent cookies

With the help of a permanent cookie, you (or your browser) can be recognised during a new visit to our website. The website can then be tailored to your preferences. When you give consent for cookies, this is remembered through a cookie. As a result, you do not have to repeat your preferences. In this way, we try to make your use of our website as pleasant as possible. You can delete these permanent cookies at any time via your browser settings.

The data collected is anonymous and used for statistical purposes, such as domain names, date and time of requests, referring websites, and other parameters in URLs. We cannot trace this data to a PC or individual. These cookies do not store information related to personal data.

Use of functional cookies

Session cookies allow us to see which parts of our website you have visited, helping us tailor our services based on visitor behaviour. These cookies ensure the website functions properly. Every time you visit the website, these cookies contain a different temporary number.

We also use a cookie to check whether your (mobile) device supports JavaScript. JavaScript ensures that you see dropdown menus on the website. If your device does not support JavaScript, the website may not display correctly.

These cookies are automatically deleted once you close your browser.

Analytical cookies

Cookies used for statistical purposes help us map which pages of our website you visit and allow us to locate where you access our website from, particularly when using a mobile device. These cookies are placed via Google.

Cookies for social purposes allow users to share content from the website directly with others via social media. Social media websites place these cookies themselves when you click a social media button on our website. The social media site recognises your IP address when you want to share a page from our website.

Targeting cookies

These cookies build a profile of your browsing behaviour, allowing us to tailor advertisements to your interests. Our website uses advertising cookies, and we also place them on third-party websites. By combining data from all advertising cookies (online browsing, searching, and purchasing behaviour), we ensure relevant offers for you.

Commercial cookies

These cookies provide us with insight into which advertisements are shown to a website user and how frequently.

Tracking cookies (ours)

We use tracking cookies to build a profile of each individual. These cookies are only placed on your (mobile) device if you provide consent. When you visit our website, the cookie shares the collected data with us. This information gives us insight into which websites you visit. Your profile is not linked to your personal details (name, address, email, etc.). This information is only used to tailor advertisements as much as possible to your profile.

Tracking cookies (advertisers)

Advertisers we engage may place “tracking cookies” on your (mobile) device, but only with your consent. These advertisers build a profile of your online behaviour, keeping track of which pages you visit within their network. Your profile is thus partly compiled based on your visits to other websites within the advertiser’s network. Your profile is not linked to your personal details (name, address, email, etc.) and is only used to tailor advertisements as closely as possible to your profile.

Google Analytics

We use Google Analytics, a service from the American company Google. This service helps us gain insight into the browsing behaviour of visitors to our website. Google may provide this information to third parties if required by law. Google may also share this data with third parties it collaborates with. We have no control over how Google handles this. However, Google may not use the analytics data for any other services within its company.

Google anonymises the collected data as much as possible, and your IP address is not shared. Google transfers the collected data to the United States, where it is stored on their servers. This is governed by Standard Contractual Clauses.

Meta

To allow sharing and promoting our website on social media, we have included social media buttons on our website. The buttons for Facebook operate through cookies placed by Facebook when you use those buttons. We have no control over Facebook’s cookie placement. We recommend reading Facebook’s privacy statement to understand what Facebook does with your personal data collected via these cookies.

The data collected by Facebook and its affiliated parties is anonymised as much as possible. Facebook stores the information it collects in the United States on its available servers.
