Cookie policy
Since the new telecommunications law came into effect on June 1, 2012, every website is legally obligated to inform visitors about cookies and request consent for their use. We apologize for any inconvenience.
The law distinguishes between cookies that are functionally necessary and cookies that track your browsing behavior. Functional cookies, for example, are used to temporarily remember your shopping cart and may be placed without your consent. The webshop would not function as a whole without these cookies. Consent must be obtained for placing cookies that track browsing behavior.
Cookies are not dangerous. It is not possible to read (private) data from your computer or intercept passwords with cookies. Cookies cannot infect your computer with a virus or trojan horse. Allowing cookies poses no risk to your computer.
You will receive this notification only once per browser session.

What do cookies do?
Website visitors encounter cookies. These are small files placed on your computer that allow a shopping cart to be remembered and information about your visit to be tracked. There is much negative talk about cookies in the media. However, cookies are useful and virtually indispensable for the proper functioning of an online shop.
In addition to functional cookies placed by the web store owner (necessary to operate the site correctly), you may also receive cookies from other parties. These cookies track your clicking behavior and may, for example, be used to display a particular advertisement only once.
Cookies are not dangerous
Cookies can never be used to read private data from a computer or intercept passwords. They also cannot infect a computer with a virus or trojan horse. So they are completely safe. Cookies have been used without incident since the 1990s on almost all online shops and websites around the world.
When visiting the webshop you may receive different types of cookies.
Functional cookies
Cookies that are necessary for the use of the webshop. For example to log in or to remember your shopping cart.
Cookies from advertising companies
Advertising companies measure the success of a campaign and the possible interests of the visitor. It could also record any preferences (do you want sound on or off?) by reading cookies. If an ad company has banners on multiple websites then the data from these websites can be combined to create a better profile. This way advertisers can place their cookies on multiple sites and get a detailed picture of the user's interests. This allows for more targeted and relevant ads to be displayed. For example, after visiting a web store, you can get banners on other sites with exactly the products you viewed or similar products. The website owner can not see these cookies.
Cookies for website analysis
Some web shops use Google Analytics to keep track of visitor statistics. This system keeps track of which pages are visited, what they click on, which browser and screen resolution they use and much more. This information can be used to get a better picture of visitors and to optimize the website accordingly. Google, which provides this service, uses the information to build up a relevant, anonymous advertising profile in order to serve more targeted ads.
Cookies from other external parties
In addition to the above, there are more components that can generate a cookie. These are often used by content partners to analyze on which sites their users are active and how their services perform. These include videos from YouTube, photos from services such as Flickr or Picasa, and "Like" buttons from social media sites such as Twitter and Facebook.
Finally
To visit the webshop, it is necessary that you allow us to place such cookies. You can use the opt-out option with many external companies so that cookies from that specific provider are no longer allowed. On http://www.youronlinechoices.com/be-nl/ this is possible for many advertisers at the same time. You can also read there what such cookies are used for. It is also possible to set your browser so that only cookies from the webshop you visit are accepted. You can find out how this works in the help function of your browser.
