Legislation on cookies
The Nuffic websites make use of cookies. Below we will tell you why. We hope that you will decide to accept our cookies.
Visitors to the Nuffic websites always remain anonymous. Cookies, like visitors, can never be linked directly to specific individuals. Nuffic observes confidentiality with regard to the data it collects using cookies.
In addition to functional cookies, Nuffic uses cookies that it needs for the management of web statistics and social media. This means we distinguish between three types of cookie:
- Functional cookies, the purpose of which is strictly limited to ensuring the effective operation of the website, for example by saving your preferences and allowing you to stay logged on (on request). No permission is required for this type of cookie.
- Analysis cookies, which provide insight into the ways in which visitors use our websites, which pages they visit most frequently and the terms they use when searching for information. The data collected using analysis cookies helps us improve our websites. We have anonymized the ip-tracking. We ask for your permission to use these cookies.
- Social media cookies, which enable you to share our website via social media and to email or print web pages. It is not Nuffic that installs these cookies on your computer, but organisations such as Addthis, Facebook and Twitter. We need your permission to use social media cookies.
What are cookies?
A cookie is a small and simple text file transmitted along with the pages of this website and stored by your browser (such as Chrome, Firefox or Internet Explorer) on the hard disk of your computer. Cookies cannot damage your computer nor any of the files on it. It is also important to know that we only use cookies to identify computers, not individuals.
Cookies are important for our websites, for example because they enable us to analyse visitor behaviour. We collect such information in order to gain a better picture of our visitors and adjust our websites accordingly. For this purpose we use Google Analytics. We hope that you will decide to accept these cookies.
Disabling cookies
Most cookies have a “use-by” date. In other words, after a certain period of time they will automatically expire and stop registering your surfing behaviour. You may also opt to delete cookies manually before their use-by date. To do so, follow the instructions in your browser manual.
