Google analytics
On this website we use Google analytics to get reports on how our website is used. We did not allow Google to share this information with other Google entities, other Google products or third parties, and the IP-addresses we process are pseudonymized (the last number is omitted, for example: 122.3.112.x). We also signed a processing agreement with Google. However, Google can be asked to provide information to third parties when obliged to by law, and Google can use third parties to process data in name of Google. We cannot control this, and therefor recommend to read Google analytics’ privacy policy: https://support.Google.com/analytics/answer/6004245?hl=nl
Why don’t we ask for cookie permission?
First of all, in our opinion, asking consent for a cookie in a cookie banner is often not really asking permission. Most users are only frustrated by cookie banners and click it away without reading. We feel that limiting tracking is a better strategy than presenting you with irritating banners.
In the Dutch law, there are three exceptions for the obligation to ask permission (TW 11.7a3):
- If the purpose of the cookie is merely to enable communication,
- if the cookie is strictly necessary for the service provided
- if its goal is to get information about the quality or efficiency of the website, and the use of the cookie does not, or has only a small, privacy impact
For our functional cookies, the first and second exception applies.
Since we have configured Google analytics in such a way that its privacy impact is low, and we use it for quality purposes, it falls under the third exception.
More information about this exception can be found on the site of the Dutch privacy authority[1] and on the site of ictrecht.nl[2] (both in Dutch).
We also configured Vimeo videos in such a way that it does not place third party tracking cookies anymore.
Vimeo
We host promotional video’s at Vimeo. To be able to play these videos, we have to embed them. Usually this means introducing various third party tracking cookies on our website. We therefore chose not to use the standard embedding. This way no cookies (of any kind) will be placed.
Security
Protection of your data is not possible without security measures. We therefor try to maintain a high level of security, by making sure our software is up to date, by providing an encrypted version of the website only (using https and security headers), and by carefully choosing content. However, we know that sometimes mistakes can be made. Have you found one? Please notify us via the e-mail provided below.
Third party websites
This privacy statement does not apply to websites of third parties that we might link to (for example in news items). We cannot guarantee that these third parties respect your privacy or handle your personal information in a safe way.
Changes to this privacy statement
We maintain the right to change this privacy statement. Please revisit this page to keep up to date. When changing this privacy statement, we will include a short summary of what has changed since the previous version.

According to our EU privacy law you have the right to lodge a complaint with the supervisory authority if you think your rights are violated.
Towards us, you also have the right of access, rectification, restriction of processing and erasure of your information. You also have the right to withdraw you consent for processing.
