COOKIES
What does the Cookie Law entail?
The Cookie Law has been in force since 5 June 2012. This law states that website visitors must be properly informed about the use of cookies. Cookies are small text files containing information about your visit that are stored on your computer. Companies are also required to explain the purpose for which cookies are used. The ACM (Netherlands Authority for Consumers and Markets) supervises compliance with the Cookie Law.
Cookies are safe
First of all, it is important to know that cookies do not harm your computer or personal data. Their sole purpose is to make websites easier and more convenient to use, for example by remembering a product placed in a shopping cart or anonymously analysing clicking behaviour to improve the website.
