JOUHAR EXPERTISE BUREAU values your privacy and the transparent use of cookies on the website jouharbureau.nl. In this cookie policy, we explain clearly what cookies are, which cookies we use, why we use them and how you can manage your cookie preferences.
1. What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer, tablet or smartphone when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently, to provide a better user experience and to provide information to the website owners.
There are different types of cookies: functional cookies (necessary for the operation of the website), analytical cookies (for measuring website usage) and tracking/marketing cookies (for monitoring browsing behaviour and displaying targeted advertisements).
2. Which cookies do we use?
JOUHAR EXPERTISE BUREAU uses only functional cookies that are strictly necessary for the operation of the website. This means that we are not required to obtain consent for the placement of these cookies, as they fall under the exemption in the Dutch Telecommunications Act.
We expressly do not use:
- Analytical cookies or tracking cookies
- Marketing cookies or advertising cookies
- Social media cookies
- Cookies that track your browsing behaviour across different websites
Third-party content. The SiteLock security seal in the footer is loaded as an image from shield.sitelock.com. SiteLock's delivery network (Imperva) may set two technical cookies on the sitelock.com domain in the process (visid_incap_* and incap_ses_*), intended for the security and stability of the seal's delivery. These cookies are not set or read by us and contain no data about your behaviour on our website; whether your browser accepts them depends on your browser settings for third-party cookies. The WhatsApp button and the Facebook, Instagram and TikTok icons are ordinary links: no content, script, plug-in or cookie from Meta or TikTok is loaded.

5. Managing and deleting cookies
On our website you can view and change your cookie preferences via the \'Cookie preferences\' link in the footer of every page. Your choice is stored in your browser’s local storage for a maximum of 12 months; no data is sent to us. Because we only use necessary cookies, refusing has no effect on how the website works. Should we ever add optional cookies, we will ask for your consent first.
You can change your cookie preferences at any time through your browser settings. You can also delete cookies manually. Below you will find instructions for the most commonly used browsers:
- Google Chrome: Settings > Privacy and Security > Cookies and other site data
- Mozilla Firefox: Options > Privacy & Security > Cookies and Site Data
- Microsoft Edge: Settings > Privacy, search, and services > Cookies
