Cookie Policy
Last updated: 12 March 2025
This Cookie Policy explains what cookies and similar technologies we use on the website plyxaronchral.world, for what purposes, and how you can control them. It should be read together with our Privacy Policy, which describes how we process your personal data in general.

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, or to understand how the site is used.
Similar technologies include local storage, session storage, pixel tags and similar identifiers that can store or read information on your device. In this policy, when we refer to “cookies” we include such technologies where they are used for similar purposes.
Cookies can be:
- First-party: set by us (plyxaronchral.world).
- Third-party: set by a domain other than ours (e.g. an analytics or advertising provider).
- Session cookies: temporary; they are deleted when you close your browser.
- Persistent cookies: they remain on your device for a set period or until you delete them.
3. Legal basis for using cookies
Under the ePrivacy Directive (as implemented in the Netherlands) and the GDPR:
- Strictly necessary cookies are required for the website to function (e.g. security, load balancing, consent storage). They do not require your consent but we still inform you about them.
- Analytics, functional and marketing cookies that process personal data require your consent before they are set, unless a narrow exception applies. We ask for your consent via our cookie banner and cookie settings.
You can withdraw or change your consent at any time via the “Cookie settings” option (e.g. in the cookie banner or in the footer) or by deleting cookies in your browser.
4. Categories of cookies we use
4.1 Strictly necessary cookies
These cookies are essential for the website to work. They enable basic functions such as page navigation, secure areas, form submission and storing your cookie consent choices. The website cannot function properly without them. They do not store personally identifiable information in a way that is used for profiling. We do not ask for consent for these cookies; you can block them in your browser but some parts of the site may then not work.
Examples (illustrative):
- Session or security token: ensures requests are from the same session and helps prevent abuse; session duration.
- Cookie consent preference: stores your choice (accept / reject / custom) so we do not ask again on every page; typically 12 months.
4.2 Analytics cookies
These cookies help us understand how visitors use our website (e.g. number of visitors, which pages are viewed, approximate geographic region). The data is used in aggregate to improve the site and user experience. We only use these cookies if you have given your consent via our cookie banner or cookie settings. You can withdraw consent at any time.
Examples (illustrative):
- Analytics identifier: distinguishes unique visitors and sessions; retention as per our analytics provider (e.g. 14–26 months).
- Page and referrer data: which pages were visited and where the user came from; used in aggregated form.
If we use third-party analytics (e.g. Google Analytics), we configure them in line with data protection requirements (e.g. IP anonymisation where available, data processing agreements). Details of specific providers and retention can be provided on request.
4.3 Marketing cookies
These cookies may be used to deliver relevant advertisements, to measure the effectiveness of campaigns, or to build audiences for advertising. They are only set if you have given your consent. You can withdraw consent at any time via cookie settings or your browser.
Examples (illustrative):
- Advertising or retargeting ID: used to show you relevant ads or to measure conversions; retention as per the advertising partner (often 30–90 days or as stated in their policy).
If we use third-party advertising or marketing tools, they may set their own cookies. We recommend checking their privacy and cookie policies for details.
5. Retention periods
Cookie retention depends on the type of cookie:
- Strictly necessary: typically session length or up to 12 months for consent storage.
- Analytics: as configured (e.g. 14–26 months for analytics IDs), unless you withdraw consent earlier, in which case we stop setting them and existing cookies will expire according to their lifespan or when you delete them.
- Marketing: as per the relevant provider (e.g. 30–90 days); you can clear or block them at any time.
After expiry, the cookie is automatically removed from your device unless you have deleted it earlier.
Summary table (illustrative):
| Category | Purpose | Consent | Typical retention |
|---|---|---|---|
| Strictly necessary | Site operation, security, consent storage | Not required | Session to 12 months |
| Analytics | Understanding site use in aggregate | Required | As configured (e.g. 14–26 months) |
| Marketing | Advertising, retargeting, campaign measurement | Required | As per provider (e.g. 30–90 days) |
6. How to manage cookies
You can control cookies in the following ways:
- Our cookie banner and Cookie settings: When you first visit the site, you can choose “Accept all”, “Reject” (non-essential cookies only), or “Cookie settings” to enable or disable analytics and marketing cookies. Strictly necessary cookies remain active. You can reopen cookie settings via a link in the footer or by clearing the consent cookie and refreshing the page.
- Browser settings: Most browsers allow you to block or delete cookies. You can usually find this under “Settings”, “Privacy” or “Cookies”. Blocking all cookies may affect the functionality of the website. For more information, see your browser’s help section (e.g. Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge).
- Opt-out tools: For certain third-party advertising or analytics cookies, industry opt-out tools may be available (e.g. Your Online Choices). We can provide links to relevant tools if we use such services.
Withdrawing consent or disabling non-essential cookies does not affect the lawfulness of processing based on consent before its withdrawal. After you withdraw consent, we will stop setting new non-essential cookies; existing cookies will remain until they expire or until you delete them in your browser.
7. International transfers
If any cookie data is processed by service providers 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.
8. Your rights
In addition to managing cookies as above, you have the rights set out in our Privacy Policy (e.g. access, rectification, erasure, restriction, portability, object, withdraw consent, lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority). To exercise them, contact us at info@plyxaronchral.world.
9. Browser-specific information
You can manage or delete cookies via your browser settings. Below are links to the relevant help pages for common browsers (these may change; please check your browser’s current documentation):
