BA Deventer, The Netherlands operating www.mfgeurtsen.nl, (hereinafter "Machinefabriek

We
respect your privacy and take the protection of your personal information very

Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR”) and the Privacy and Electronic

What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files that websites
store on the visitor's computer or device when they are accessed and store
information about the user and the website. Cookies can serve different
purposes.
Cookies can be very useful for you, as they
increase the user experience for multiple website visits. If you use the same
device and the same browser for multiple visits to a website, the visited
website can adapt displayed content to your interests and needs.
Why do we use cookies?
In order to be able to offer a personalized and
appealing service and improvements to the website, we collect and store
information about how you use our offer. We use cookies, for example to
personalize pages or to keep users safe for the duration of their visit. These
cookies are completely secure and do not contain any sensitive information.
What types of cookies do we use?
We use both first party cookies, which are
issued from our website’s own domain, and third-party cookies, which belong to
and are managed by other parties, such as our partners or service providers.
The cookies used on our website can be divided
into two categories:
a)
Session
cookies: These are temporary cookies that will be deleted from your device once
you close your browser. They are used to remember your device as you move
within our website.
b)
Persistent
cookies: These are longer-lasting cookies that remain on your device even after
you close your browser. They are used to recognize your device each time you
use our website and to remember your preferences.
The classification as technically necessary or
technically non-necessary also determines the cookies we use:
Technically necessary cookies
Technically necessary cookies are required for
our website to function properly; they enable you to navigate our website
efficiently and use its functional features. An example of this is, for
example, the reminder of recently performed actions (e.g., entered text) when
you return to a page within the same session.
Technically non-essential cookies
Technically non-essential cookies are not
necessary for the proper functioning of our website, but they enable us to
improve the content of our website, compile statistics for internal market
analysis purposes, provide you with a more personalized online experience or
provide additional features. In particular we use advertising and analytical
cookies.
Advertising cookies are used to provide content that is more
relevant to you and your interests (direct marketing). They can be used to
provide targeted advertising or to limit the frequency with which you are shown
an advertisement. They also help us measure the effectiveness of advertising
campaigns. In addition, we may use these cookies to store which websites you
have visited.
Analytical cookies are used by third parties. These
cookies allow third parties to recognize that you have visited our website. We
and our third-party providers may also combine information obtained from these
cookies with personal information available from other sources, including data
collected about you when you use other websites and data collected about you
when you are offline, whether on our website or data maintained by the
third-party provider.

a) Hotjar
We use Hotjar, a web
analytics service provided by Hotjar Ltd, Level 2, St Julian's Business Centre,
3, Elia Zammit Street, St Julian's STJ 1000, Malta ("Hotjar"), to
better understand usage patterns, to better understand the needs of our users
and to optimize our services and user experience. Hotjar enables us to better
understand the user experience on our sites (i.e., how long users spend on
which of our sites, which links they click, what they like and dislike, etc.)
so that we can tailor our offerings based on user feedback.
Hotjar uses
cookies and other technologies to collect information about user behaviour and
user devices (in particular, a device's IP address (which is collected and
stored in anonymized form), screen size, device type (unique device identifiers),
browser information, geographic information (on a country-by-country basis
only), preferred language for viewing our web site). Hotjar stores this data in
a pseudonymized user profile. Neither Hotjar nor we will use this information
to identify individual users, nor will the data be merged with other data about
individual users. You can object to the creation of user profiles, the storage
of data about your use of our site by Hotjar, and the use of tracking cookies
by Hotjar on other sites at any time by following this link https://www.hotjar.com/opt-out. The
use of Hotjar is based on your consent according to Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR.
b) Facebook Remarketing
Within our
website, so-called "Facebook pixels" of the social network Facebook, which is operated by Meta
Platforms Inc., 1 Hacker Way, Menlo Park, CA 94025, USA, or if you are a
resident of the EU, Facebook Ireland Ltd, 4 Grand Canal Square, Grand Canal
Harbour, Dublin 2, Ireland ("Facebook"), are used. With the help of
the Facebook pixel, it is possible for Facebook to determine the visitors to
our offer as a target group for the display of advertisements, so-called
"Facebook ads". Accordingly, we use the Facebook pixel to display the
Facebook ads placed by us only to those Facebook users who have also shown an
interest in our website. This means that with the help of the Facebook pixel we
want to ensure that our Facebook ads correspond to the potential interest of
the users and do not have a harassing effect. With the help of the Facebook
pixel, we can also track the effectiveness of the Facebook ads for statistical
and market research purposes by seeing whether users were redirected to our
website after clicking on a Facebook ad.
You can object
to the collection by the Facebook pixel and use of your data for the display of
Facebook ads. To do so, you can visit the page set up by Facebook and follow
the instructions there on the settings for usage-based advertising: https://www.facebook.com/settings?tab=ads or declare the objection via the US page http://www.aboutads.info/choices/ or the EU page http://www.youronlinechoices.com/. The legal basis for this
processing is Art. 6 para. 1 letter f) GDPR, our legitimate interest. The use
of Facebook Remarketing is based on your consent according to Art. 6 (1) (a)
GDPR.
c) Google Analytics
We use Google Analytics, a service provided by Google
Inc. This means that the data collected can in principle be transmitted to a
Google server in the USA, whereby the IP addresses are anonymised by means of
IP anonymisation so that an allocation is not possible. The IP address
transmitted by your browser as part of Google Analytics will not be merged with
other Google data. You can object to the collection and processing of this data
by Google Analytics by setting an opt-out cookie that prevents the future
collection of your data when you visit this website: http://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=en.
The legal basis for this processing is Art. 6 para. 1
letter f) GDPR, our legitimate interest. The use of Google Analytics is
based on your consent according to Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR.

Please bear in mind that deleting and blocking
cookies will have an impact on your user experience as parts of our website may

your browser settings to block cookies, our system will issue cookies as soon

sent you, even if you have previously deleted our cookies.
