Cookie Statement

1. INTRODUCTION

Bloodtesting.nl is committed to the optimal functioning of its website. To ensure that the website functions properly, we use techniques that process personal data, such as cookies.

A cookie is a small text file that is stored on the visitor's device (electronic device) when visiting a website for the first time. The purpose of cookies is to collect information about someone, the website or statistics. Some cookies are also intended to improve the user experience of the website.

2. TYPES OF COOKIES

We distinguish 5 types of cookies:

1. For functional purposes
2. For analytical purposes
3. For advertising purposes
4. For identification
5. For social media sharing

For functional purposes

We use this type of cookies to register and remember your preferences as a visitor. This saves you having to re-enter your preferences over and over again so that the website is easier to use. We always use functional cookies. These are necessary for the website to work properly and do not process personal data other than for the purpose for which the personal data are entered.

Non-functional cookies, types 2, 3, 4 and 5 from the above list, process personal data outside your field of vision. That is why we always ask for your permission before placing these cookies.

2. For analytical purposes

With analytical cookies, we collect statistics about the use of the website so we can improve the functionality and effectiveness of the site for the benefit of our users. For example, we measure the popularity of certain pages and the click behavior on our website. The external software we use for this is Google Analytics and possibly Hotjar. To comply with the AVG legislation we do not share any privacy sensitive data with these external parties and we have a processing agreement with them.

3. For advertising purposes

We use this type of cookie to help us show relevant ads on third party websites (including through ad networks of Google, Facebook, LinkedIn and other third parties) to people who may be interested in our products. We also use these cookies to measure the performance of our advertising campaigns. They also allow us to limit the number of times you see an ad so you don't see the same one over and over again. Finally, this type of cookie is also used to help you opt out of our advertising.

4. For identification

Among other things, we use this type of cookie to identify people after they have interacted with our website. An interaction is, for example, filling in a contact form or clicking on a hyperlink in an e-mail you receive from us. The information we register during such an interaction is never shared with others (not even with clients of our company).

We also use this type of cookies to keep track of which website pages you visit, from the information about your website visits we can derive your preferences and interests. We use this information to recognize potential customers so we can approach organizations for marketing purposes. To do this we collect visitor data, IP address and company data. The data we collect is only used internally.

5. For social media sharing

On some web pages you will find buttons to easily share articles and pages on social networks such as Linkedin, Facebook and Twitter. These buttons work through pieces of code (scripts) that come from these social networks themselves. These scripts sometimes also place cookies (we have no influence on this).

3. BLOCKING AND DELETING COOKIES

If you do not want our website to store cookies on your computer, you can indicate this in the cookie message you see when you first visit our website. Have you already accepted our cookies? Then you will no longer see this notification and you must remove the cookies yourself (if desired).
