1. Introduction
This Cookie Policy explains what cookies and similar technologies are used on the website phrexxonvorkan.world (the “website”), operated by Phrexxonvorkan, Marnixstraat 168, 1016 TG Amsterdam, Netherlands (email: support@phrexxonvorkan.world, phone: +31 20 623 1051). It describes the types of cookies we use, their purposes, retention periods, and how you can manage your preferences. This policy should be read together with our Privacy Policy, which explains how we process personal data in general, including data collected via cookies.
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 site owner. Similar technologies include local storage, session storage, and pixel tags, which may be used for similar purposes. In this policy we use “cookies” to refer to cookies and such similar technologies where relevant.
Cookies can be “first-party” (set by us) or “third-party” (set by a different domain, e.g. an analytics or advertising provider). They can be “session” cookies (deleted when you close the browser) or “persistent” cookies (remain for a set period or until you delete them).
3. Legal basis and consent
Under the GDPR and the ePrivacy rules (including as implemented in the Netherlands), we are required to inform you about cookies and, for non-essential cookies, to obtain your consent before placing them on your device. Essential cookies (strictly necessary for the operation of the website) do not require consent. For analytics and marketing cookies we ask for your consent via our cookie banner and cookie settings. You can change your preferences at any time using the “Cookie settings” option or by adjusting your browser settings as described below.
4. Categories of cookies we use
4.1 Strictly necessary cookies
These cookies are essential for the website to function. They enable basic features such as page navigation, access to secure areas, and remembering your cookie consent choices. The website cannot function properly without these cookies. They do not store personally identifiable information in a way that is used for marketing. We do not ask for consent for these cookies because they are strictly necessary. Examples include:
- Cookie consent storage: to remember whether you have accepted or rejected cookies and your preference choices (e.g. analytics, marketing), so we do not show the banner again unnecessarily. Retention: as needed (e.g. 12 months) or until you clear your browser data.
- Session and security: to maintain your session and support security features (e.g. CSRF protection). Retention: session or short-lived.
4.2 Analytics cookies
These cookies help us understand how visitors use the website (e.g. number of visitors, pages visited, approximate geographic region). The data is used in aggregated form to improve our site and services. We use these cookies only if you have given your consent via our cookie banner or cookie settings. Legal basis: your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR). You can withdraw consent at any time by disabling analytics in Cookie settings or via your browser. Retention: as specified by the analytics provider (typically up to 24–26 months for common analytics tools), unless you withdraw consent earlier, in which case we stop using them and existing cookies can be deleted via your browser.
4.3 Marketing cookies
These cookies may be used to deliver relevant advertisements, to measure the effectiveness of campaigns, or to limit how often you see an ad. They may be set by us or by advertising partners. We use marketing cookies only if you have given your consent. Legal basis: your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR). You can withdraw consent at any time via Cookie settings or your browser. Retention: as specified by the relevant provider (often up to 12–24 months), subject to your consent.
5. Detailed list of cookies (overview)
The following is an overview of the main types of cookies we use. Exact names and durations may change when we update our systems; we will keep this policy updated.
- Strictly necessary: e.g. cookie_consent, cookie_preferences (or similar) – storage of your cookie choices. Persistent, typically up to 12 months.
- Analytics (if consent given): may include first-party or third-party analytics cookies. Retention as per provider; you can withdraw consent anytime.
- Marketing (if consent given): may include third-party advertising or retargeting cookies. Retention as per provider; you can withdraw consent anytime.
We do not use cookies to track you across unrelated third-party websites for advertising without your consent. Where we introduce new cookies or change purposes, we will update this policy and, where required, ask for your consent again.
6. How to manage cookies
You can manage your preferences in the following ways:
- Cookie banner and Cookie settings: When you first visit the website, you can choose “Accept all”, “Reject”, or “Cookie settings”. In Cookie settings you can enable or disable analytics and marketing cookies. Strictly necessary cookies cannot be disabled. Your choices are stored so we can respect them on future visits.
- Browser settings: Most browsers allow you to block or delete cookies via their settings (e.g. under “Privacy” or “Cookies”). You can usually choose to block all cookies, only third-party cookies, or to delete existing cookies. Blocking all cookies may affect the functionality of the website. For instructions, see your browser’s help section (e.g. Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge).
If you withdraw consent for analytics or marketing cookies, we will stop setting new cookies of that type. Existing cookies may remain until they expire or until you delete them in your browser.
7. Data retention and personal data
Cookie-related data is retained as described in the sections above and in our Privacy Policy. Some cookie data may constitute personal data (e.g. unique identifiers or IP addresses). We process such data only for the purposes and retention periods described and in line with the GDPR. You have the same rights (access, rectification, erasure, restriction, portability, object, withdraw consent, lodge a complaint) as set out in our Privacy Policy.
8. International transfers
If any of our cookie providers process data outside the European Economic Area (EEA), we ensure appropriate safeguards are in place (e.g. adequacy decision, standard contractual clauses) as described in our Privacy Policy.
9. Changes to this Cookie Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our use of cookies, legal requirements, or the website. The updated version will be posted on this page with a revised “Last updated” date. We encourage you to review this page periodically. Where changes are material or affect your rights, we may notify you via the website or by other appropriate means and, where required by law, ask for your consent again.
