2.1 Similar technologies

In addition to cookies, similar technologies exist with which data can be stored on or read from your device, such as:

3. Which cookies do we use?

Below you will find a complete overview of the cookies we use on the Website, divided by category.

3.1 Strictly necessary cookies

These cookies are essential for the functioning of the Website. Without these cookies, certain parts of the Website cannot work correctly. Because these cookies are strictly necessary, we place them without your consent.

3.2 Analytical cookies

We use analytical cookies to gain insight into how visitors use the Website. This information helps us to improve the Website and to make the Website attractive to booking service providers who want to be visible via our platform.

We have taken the following measures to limit the privacy impact of our analytical cookies:

• We have concluded a data processing agreement with our analytics service provider.

• The last octet of your IP address is masked (anonymised).

• We have disabled "data sharing" with the analytics service provider.

• We do not use other services from the analytics service provider in combination with the analytics cookies.

• The analytics service provider may not use the data for its own purposes.

Through these measures, our analytical cookies qualify as privacy-friendly within the meaning of the Dutch Telecommunications Act. Nevertheless, for the sake of transparency we ask for your consent to place these cookies.

3.3 Tracking and marketing cookies

We use marketing cookies from Google Ads to measure the performance of our advertising campaigns and to reach visitors who previously visited our Website again through advertisements on other websites (remarketing).

Important: we do not display any advertisements on our own Website. These cookies serve solely to measure and optimise our own advertising on other websites and in search engines.

Purpose:

• Conversion measurement: determining whether visitors who arrive via an advertisement use our Website as intended.

• Remarketing: re-engaging visitors who previously visited our Website via Google's advertising network on other websites.

Measures to limit privacy impact:

• These cookies are placed only after you have explicitly given consent via the cookie banner.

• We use Google Consent Mode v2: as long as you have not given consent, Google only receives aggregated, non-identifiable signals.

• If you do not give consent or withdraw it, no Google Ads cookies are placed.

The Website may contain buttons or links to social media platforms (such as LinkedIn, Facebook or X/Twitter). When you click on such a button or link, you are redirected to the relevant website.
