What does this cookie policy cover?
This cookie policy covers cookies and similar techniques on taxsavers.nl, like storage in your browser.² You read on what basis we set them, how the cookie banner works and how you undo a choice.
What we do with your personal data and the rights you have over it sit in the privacy statement.
Below we follow your first visit, from the banner to the moment you withdraw your consent.
Which kinds of cookies does the site use?
The site uses four kinds: essential, statistics, marketing and embedded content. On your first visit you see those four in the banner.
Essential cookies keep the site working. One of them, ts_consent, remembers the choice you make in the banner.
Statistics measure how visitors use the site, for example which pages they read. Our statistics tool sets no cookie and builds no profile for this. It runs on servers in the EU.
Marketing cookies come from third parties and measure whether an advert works. Embedded content is a video or a chat window from another party, for example. That party may store something of its own.
The table below shows per kind the basis on which we set it and whether you need to consent.¹ The Telecommunicatiewet is the Dutch telecommunications act.
| Kind | What it does | Basis | Consent needed |
|---|---|---|---|
| Essential | Keeps the site working and remembers your choice | Statutory exemptionTelecommunicatiewet art. 11.7a(3) | No |
| Statistics | Measures use of the site, without a cookie and without a profile | Statutory exemptionTelecommunicatiewet art. 11.7a(3) | No |
| Marketing | Measures whether third-party adverts work | ConsentGDPR art. 6(1)(a)² | Yes |
| Embedded content | Loads video or chat from another party | ConsentGDPR art. 6(1)(a)² | Yes |
What happens on your first visit?
On your first visit the site loads only essential cookies and the cookieless statistics. The server first checks whether the ts_consent cookie is on your device. If it is missing, no marketing script and no embedded content comes along with the page. They are not waiting in the background. They only load after you switch them on.
Then the banner appears over the page. You see three choices of equal weight: reject all, accept all or set your preferences. Reject comes first, so it is also the first stop with the Tab key. Rejecting and accepting both take one click.
If you choose preferences, you see the four kinds separately. Essential and statistics stay on, you cannot switch them off. Marketing and embedded content start off and stay that way unless you allow them. For each kind you read the provider, the retention period and whether data leaves the EU.
As soon as you choose, the server writes the ts_consent cookie and records what you chose. Only then do the scripts you allowed load.
How do you change your choice or withdraw consent?
You change your choice through the cookie settings link in the footer. The banner opens again and you make a new choice. Withdrawing is as easy as allowing.
If you withdraw consent, the marketing scripts and the embedded content stop from the next page you load. Cookies another party set earlier, you delete through your browser settings.
How do we keep your choice?
We keep every choice in a record we never change afterwards. That way we can show whether you gave consent or not. The record holds a pseudonymous number, the time and your language. It also holds the version of the banner, the version of this text and your choice per kind. Of your IP address we keep a shortened form. Of your browser only an encrypted identifier.
If you change your choice later, we add a new record. The old one stays. Your rights over this record are in the privacy statement.

Which text governs and when does it change?
The Dutch text of this cookie policy governs. The English version is a translation. If the two differ, the Dutch text applies.
We update this policy as soon as the site starts loading something else, a new statistics tool for example. The date at the top of the page shows the last change.
What can you do now?
Check your current choice through the cookie settings link in the footer. With marketing off, nothing on the site changes for you. If you want to watch an embedded video or use an embedded chat, switch on embedded content only.

Common questions about cookies on taxsavers.nl
Does the site still work if I reject everything?
Yes, the site works exactly the same. You only miss videos or chat windows from other parties. Those load once you switch on embedded content.
