2. What are cookies and similar technologies?
Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device (computer, tablet or mobile) when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently, to remember your preferences, and to provide information to the website owner. Similar technologies include local storage, session storage, pixels and similar identifiers that can store or access information on your device.
Cookies can be "first-party" (set by us, serieseahonest.world) or "third-party" (set by a different domain, such as an analytics or advertising provider). They can also be "session" cookies (deleted when you close your browser) or "persistent" cookies (they remain for a set period or until you delete them).
3. Legal basis
Under the GDPR and the ePrivacy rules (including the Dutch Telecommunications Act where applicable), we use:
- Strictly necessary cookies: these are essential for the operation of the website (e.g. security, load balancing, cookie consent storage). They do not require your consent but we inform you about them in this policy.
- Analytics and functional cookies: we ask for your consent before placing these, unless they are strictly necessary.
- Marketing cookies: we ask for your separate consent before placing or using these.
You can change your preferences at any time via the cookie banner or cookie settings on the website, or by contacting us.
4. Categories of cookies we use
4.1 Strictly necessary cookies
These cookies are essential for the website to function. They enable core features such as security, network management, remembering your cookie preferences, and ensuring that content is delivered correctly. You cannot opt out of these cookies without affecting how the site works.
| Cookie name | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|
| cookie_consent | Stores your cookie consent choices (accept / reject / preferences) | 1 year |
4.2 Analytics cookies
These cookies help us understand how visitors use our website (e.g. number of visitors, pages visited, source of traffic). The data is used in aggregate to improve our site and user experience. We only use these cookies if you have given your consent via our cookie banner or cookie settings.
Examples of the type of data collected: pages viewed, time on site, approximate location (e.g. country), device type. We ensure that analytics providers process data in accordance with our instructions and applicable law, and we do not use analytics for profiling in a way that significantly affects you without your consent.
You can withdraw consent for analytics cookies at any time via the cookie settings on the website.
4.3 Marketing cookies
These cookies may be used to deliver relevant advertisements, to measure the effectiveness of campaigns, or to remember that you have visited our site. They are typically placed by our advertising or marketing partners. We only use these cookies if you have given your separate consent via our cookie banner or cookie settings.
You can withdraw consent for marketing cookies at any time via the cookie settings. Withdrawing consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing based on consent before its withdrawal.
5. Retention periods
Cookie retention depends on the type of cookie:
- Strictly necessary: typically session or up to 1 year (e.g. cookie consent preference).
- Analytics: as specified by the analytics provider we use, usually between 12 and 24 months, unless you withdraw consent earlier (in which case we stop setting the cookie and existing cookies may be deleted according to their expiry).
- Marketing: as specified by the relevant partner, often up to 12–24 months, unless you withdraw consent earlier.
You can also delete cookies manually via your browser settings at any time.
6. How to manage or disable cookies
You can control cookies in the following ways:
- Our cookie banner and settings: when you first visit the site, you can choose "Accept all", "Reject" (only strictly necessary cookies will be used), or "Cookie settings" to toggle analytics and marketing cookies on or off.
- Browser settings: most browsers allow you to block or delete cookies. Please note that blocking all cookies may affect the functionality of the website. You can usually find these options under "Privacy", "Settings" or "Options" in your browser.
- Third-party opt-out tools: where we use third-party analytics or advertising services, they may offer their own opt-out mechanisms (e.g. industry opt-out pages). We will indicate these in our cookie settings or on request.
