Analytical cookies

To measure behavior

By placing analytical cookies I can determine which parts of the website are most interesting for visitors and I can continuously measure how many visitors come to the website and what is viewed most with the help of third-party software, such as Google Analytics. . Statistics are made of the information I collect in this way. These statistics give me insight into how often web pages are visited, where exactly visitors spend the most time, and so on. This enables me to make the structure, navigation and content of the website user-friendly. The statistics and other reports do not trace back to individuals.

I use analytical cookies for:

• keeping track of the number of visitors to a web page;
• tracking the length of time each visitor spends on a web page;
• determining the order in which a visitor visits the various pages of the website;
• assessing which parts of the site need adjustment;
• optimizing the website.

Social media Cookies

So you can share articles and videos

You can share the articles and videos that you view on the website via social media by means of buttons. For the functioning of these buttons, social media cookies from the social media parties are used, so that they recognize you when you want to share an article or video.

These cookies therefore enable users of selected social media to share certain content from the website directly.

Browser settings

You can also adjust the settings in such a way that your browser refuses all cookies or only cookies from third parties. You can also delete your cookies that have already been placed. Please note that you must adjust the settings separately for each browser and computer you use.

Be aware that if you do not want cookies, I can no longer guarantee that the website will work properly. It is possible that some functions of the site will be lost or that you will no longer be able to see certain parts at all.

How you can adjust your settings differs per browser. If necessary, consult the help function of your browser. If you want to disable cookies from specific parties, you can do so via www.youronlinechoices.eu.
