Cookie Policy
Last Updated: March 14, 2026
This Cookie Policy explains how BdB B.V. ("BdB", "we", "us") uses cookies and similar technologies on this website. It supplements our Privacy Policy, which describes how we handle personal data more broadly.
This website is operated by BdB B.V., with registered address Framboas 18, 9299 HH Sweagerbosk, Netherlands. Questions about cookies can be sent to [email protected].
1) What are cookies and similar technologies?
Cookies are small text files stored on your device (computer, tablet, or phone) when you visit a website. Cookies help a site remember information about your visit, such as your cookie preferences, session continuity, and how the site is used over time.
In addition to cookies, we may use similar technologies such as pixel tags and server-side event measurement. A pixel tag is a small piece of code that can record events such as a page view or a completed form submission. Server-side measurement can record similar events from our server, using technical identifiers such as IP address and browser details. Where these technologies are used for analytics or marketing, they are only activated after you provide consent through our cookie banner or cookie preferences panel.
2) Cookie lifespan and origin
Cookies can be:
- Session cookies, which are deleted when you close your browser, or
- Persistent cookies, which remain for a set period of time or until you delete them.
Cookies can also be:
- First-party cookies, set by this website, or
- Third-party cookies, set by external providers whose services are integrated into the site (for example analytics or advertising providers).
3) Cookie categories we use
We group cookies into three categories. The categories in this Cookie Policy match the options in the cookie banner and preference panel.
Essential cookies (always active)
Essential cookies are required for the website to function and to remember your cookie choices. These cookies do not require consent because they are necessary for core site operations. Disabling them may prevent parts of the site from working correctly.
Analytics cookies (consent required)
Analytics cookies help us understand how visitors use the site, such as which pages are visited and how people navigate between sections. This helps us improve content clarity and site performance. When used, we use Google Analytics 4 (GA4) with IP anonymization. Analytics cookies are only activated after you opt in.
Marketing cookies (consent required)
Marketing cookies are used to measure advertising effectiveness and to support features such as remarketing and conversion attribution. When used, these cookies may be set by advertising partners such as Google and Meta. Marketing cookies are only activated after you opt in.
4) Cookie table
The table below lists common cookies associated with the categories above. Some cookies may only appear if you have consented to analytics or marketing cookies.
| Name | Purpose | Category | Type | Retention |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| _site_session | Site session continuity | Essential | First-party | Session |

| _fbc | Meta Pixel click identifier | Marketing | Third-party | 90 days |
5) Third-party providers
Where analytics or marketing cookies are enabled, cookies and similar identifiers may be set by third-party providers. We use these tools to understand site usage and to measure advertising effectiveness. We do not permit these providers to use site data for their own independent commercial purposes.
- Google LLC (Google Analytics 4, Google Ads, and related measurement tools)
- Meta Platforms (Meta Pixel and conversion measurement tools)
- Cloudflare (site delivery and security features that may process technical data such as IP addresses)
6) How to manage cookies
You can manage cookie choices at any time using the "Manage cookie preferences" link in the site footer. When you update your preferences, your choice is stored in the cookie_consent cookie.
You can also manage cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers let you delete cookies or block cookies for specific sites. If you block all cookies, essential site functions may not work as expected.
Additional opt-out tools may be available from providers:
- Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on: tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout
- Google Ads settings: adssettings.google.com
- Meta ad preferences: facebook.com/adpreferences
- European preferences tool: youronlinechoices.eu
For ad compliance and safety, this site does not include any third-party tracking scripts by default. If analytics or marketing tools are enabled later, they will still be controlled by the cookie consent mechanism on this website.
7) Changes to this Cookie Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy to reflect changes in technology, legal requirements, or how the website operates. When changes are made, the "Last Updated" date at the top of this page will be revised.
