Cookie legislation.

This article explains which cookies you may use without a banner or notification that cookies are used on your page.
You can think of Google Analytics and similar services.

First, what are cookies?
Cookies are used to retrieve data from the user on your site and make the experience easier for the user.
Of course, marketing techniques can also be applied to this, with google analytics and adwords you will undoubtedly already have had to deal with this.

When should I make a notification?

With the changein the legislation on March 11, 2015, it is now allowed to have analytical cookies active on your website without notification.
The same applies to cookies that are no or little invasion of privacy. These are allowed to make the site work better.

So you are not required to make a notification with:

  1. Analytical cookies
    User statistics of your site, how often visited / how many users total / which page performs best etc.
  2. Functional cookiesThese
    are cookies that ensure that your site functions properly. Think for example of a shopping basket.

When you do need to make a notification:
  • Tracking cookiesTheseare
    cookies that track the user's browsing behavior and offer advertising to the user based on this behavior. So if you search for an amusement park in Apeldoorn, for example, this will be tracked.
    And then they respond to this by showing advertisements of amusement parks on other sites you visit.
    With tracking cookies a profile is created of who you are, where you are and what your surfing behavior is.



ConclusionIf
you
have
set up Google analytics then it is not necessary to place a banner directly. The same goes for functional cookies.
Once you collect more information about your users then you should give a notification.
In the notification itself you can explain what you collect and why.
If you are unsure whether you should make a notification yes or no, then it is always advisable to place the notification anyway.
Prevention is better than cure.

If you have further questions, you can always see if there is someone on the online chat.
Or you can create a ticket for this in the customer panel.
