We have prepared this cookie statement (“Cookie Statement”) to explain what cookies are, how we use them, and how you can manage cookies. When using cookies, personal data may also be collected.

Applicability

MITE3 uses cookies and similar technologies, such as JavaScript and local storage (collectively: “cookies”) on its websites, including www.mite3.nl. This Cookie Statement applies to every visit to our websites.

Explanation of cookies

Cookies are text files consisting of a series of characters that are placed on your device when you visit our websites. When you revisit the websites, the cookie allows the websites to recognize your browser and read certain information stored in the cookie.

Cookies can be placed on your device by MITE3 as the site administrator. These cookies are called first-party cookies. Cookies can also be placed on your device by a party other than MITE3, such as parties that place cookies to enable an online chat service or to analyze the use of our websites. These cookies are called third-party cookies.

Data processing, including personal data, by third parties does not fall under this Cookie Statement but under the privacy and cookie statements of those parties. Consult their statements for more information. MITE3 is not responsible for the way third parties use cookies and/or process personal data. MITE3 excludes all liability in this regard.

Purposes of Cookies

We use cookies for various purposes, including to:

• Make our websites function.
• Help us and third parties obtain technical information about your visits to our websites.
• Remember your language settings and other preferences.

Categories of cookies

We categorize cookies as follows:

• Functional cookies. We use these cookies to enable or transmit communication over the internet. In addition, these cookies are used when necessary to provide our services to you. This includes staying logged in while visiting the various pages of our websites and your specified cookie preferences. Disabling these cookies may affect the functioning of our websites or result in certain services being unavailable.
• Analytical cookies. These cookies are used to analyze how our visitors use our websites. We use Cloudflare.
• Tracking cookies. These cookies can be used to track website visits of visitors. Tracking cookies make it possible to create profiles of people (profiling) and to treat them differently. This can, for example, display more relevant advertisements to you. Personal data is usually processed with tracking cookies. We only use a tracking cookie if you participate in an action on a separate page specifically set up for that purpose.

Additional functionality

On our pages with a web form and our management portal, we conduct additional security checks. We then analyze whether there is no use of an automated script to abuse or break into our environment. For this, we use the solution Google reCAPTCHA. Here, click behavior and any Google cookies are collected. The collected data are used only to determine that there is indeed a human action and not a computer script. These data are not used for other purposes. This website itself does not place any Google cookies. Click here for the Google Privacy Policy.
