Cookie Policy
Last Updated: 18 February 2026
This Cookie Policy supplements our Privacy Policy, which describes how we handle personal data more broadly. It explains what cookies and similar technologies are, how Zeuven Heuvels B.V. (“we”, “us”, “our”) uses them on this website, and how you can manage your preferences.
What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device (computer, tablet, or smartphone) when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work efficiently, to remember your preferences, and to provide information to site operators. Cookies can be “first-party” (set by the website you are visiting) or “third-party” (set by a service embedded in the website, such as an analytics or advertising provider).
In addition to traditional cookies, we may use similar technologies such as pixel tags (also known as web beacons or tracking pixels), which are small, invisible images embedded in web pages that communicate with a server when loaded. We may also use server-side tracking mechanisms, which process data on the server rather than in your browser. These technologies are described alongside cookies in this policy because they serve similar purposes and are governed by the same consent requirements.
Types of cookies by lifespan
- Session cookies are temporary. They are deleted from your device when you close your browser. They are typically used to maintain your session while you navigate the site.
- Persistent cookies remain on your device for a set period (or until you delete them manually). They are used to remember your preferences or consent choices across visits.
Types of cookies by origin
- First-party cookies are set by this website (zeuvenheuvels.nl) directly. They are used for essential site functionality and to store your consent preferences.
- Third-party cookies are set by external services that we have integrated into this website, such as Google Analytics or Meta Pixel. These cookies are governed by the privacy policies of those third-party providers.
Cookie categories
We classify the cookies and similar technologies used on this site into three categories. These categories match the options presented in our cookie consent banner and preferences panel.
1. Essential Cookies
Essential cookies are strictly necessary for the website to function. They enable core features such as maintaining your session and remembering your cookie consent choice. These cookies do not require your consent under the ePrivacy Directive and GDPR because the site cannot operate properly without them. They are always active.
2. Analytics Cookies
Analytics cookies help us understand how visitors interact with our website by collecting information about pages visited, time spent on the site, and the source that referred you. We use Google Analytics 4 with IP anonymisation enabled, which means your full IP address is not stored by Google. Analytics data is retained for 14 months. These cookies are activated only after you provide explicit consent through our cookie banner or preferences panel.
3. Marketing Cookies
Marketing cookies are used to deliver personalised advertising and to measure the effectiveness of advertising campaigns. They may be set by Google Ads and Meta Pixel (Facebook). These technologies enable remarketing (showing you relevant content after you leave our site), conversion tracking (measuring whether an ad led to a meaningful action), and custom or lookalike audience building. Marketing cookies are activated only after you provide explicit consent.

Consent under the GDPR and ePrivacy Directive

Analytics and marketing cookies are activated only after you provide explicit, informed, freely given consent in accordance with Article 6(1)(a) of the GDPR and the ePrivacy Directive. Your consent choice is stored in the cookie_consent cookie for 12 months. You may withdraw your consent at any time by using the “Manage cookie preferences” link in the footer or by clearing your browser cookies. Withdrawal of consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out before the withdrawal.

Material changes will be announced via a notice on the homepage at least 14 days before they take effect. The “Last Updated” date at the top of this page will be revised with each update.
