All about cookies.

What are ‘cookies’?

Websites often use smart and useful techniques to enhance the user-friendliness of the website. A well-known example of this is cookies. These are small, temporary text files placed in your computer, tablet or smartphone, making the website more interesting for every visitor.

We too leave cookies in your computer, tablet or smartphone as soon as you visit our website. By means of these cookies we make using our website easier. You do not receive the same information repeatedly and you don't have to constantly enter the same information. Moreover, they enable us to see how we can make our website more client-friendly.

You need not worry; it is safe to use cookies. Personal information, such as telephone numbers and e-mail addresses cannot be retrieved from cookies. Cookies therefore cannot be used for e-mail or telemarketing. You can obviously disable our cookies. However, take into account that our website will not function as optimally as with cookies.

For example:

  • If you're halfway through an order, our cookies will allow you to browse other areas of the website and then return back to your order.
  • If you recently visited a product page, our cookies will remember it and provide a recently visited products selection.
