Privacy and Cookie Statement

On June 5, 2012, the Dutch cookie law came into effect. This law requires websites to clearly and fully inform their visitors about the use of cookies. On February 4, 2015, a legal amendment was finalized, exempting cookies with no or minimal privacy impact from cookie legislation. However, the law still requires websites to obtain user consent for the use of privacy-sensitive cookies. Here, you can read what cookies are, what they are used for, how TKC Digital manages cookies, and how you can disable them if necessary.
