3. Cookies and monitoring
Eduard BV/Eduards Trailer Factory BV may use cookies to collect data on the way in which you use the website.
What is a cookie?
Cookies are small pieces of information that are stored by the web browser on the hard drive of your computer or your mobile device. If you
return to our website, our computer server will automatically recognise the cookie and transmit information on your most recent visit. We use cookies to improve the online experience of our visitors and to get a better understanding of how our website is used. For example, cookies can make clear whether you are a returning visitor or a new visitor to our website. They can also remember the products that you are interested in and help make sure that any advertisements that you see online are better tailored to your interests. This also lets Eduard BV/Eduards Trailer Factory BV see how popular the various elements of the website are in order to improve navigation on the website. Such data will, however, not be combined with your personal data.
Types of Cookies
There are broadly two types of cookies: First-party cookies from Eduard BV/Eduards Trailer Factory BV itself, which will be sent to your computer or mobile device. These will be used by Eduard BV/Eduards Trailer Factory BV only to recognise your computer or mobile device when you return to our website. Third-party cookies that are sent by service providers on our website and which they can use to recognise your computer or mobile device when you visit other websites. Third-party cookies are usually used to analyse the visitor environment or for advertising purposes. The time that cookies remain stored on your computer or mobile device may vary. Some cookies are “session cookies”, which means that they only stay on your computer or mobile device for as long as your browser remains open. They will be automatically removed when you close the browser. Other cookies are “permanent cookies”, which means that they will be stored after your browser is closed. These cookies can be used by Eduard BV/Eduards Trailer Factory BV to recognise your computer or mobile device when you reopen the browser and surf the internet.
What cookies do we use?
Functional cookies
Cookies that fulfill important tasks
These cookies are essential for offering you the services that are available on our website and to allow you to use certain functionality. For example, our website can remember your preferences, such as posts that you have marked with a ‘star’. They cannot trace your surfing activity on any other websites.
Statistical and analytical cookies
These cookies collect data on the way in which visitors use the website. The data obtained will not be linked to any individual visitors and will be merged. This type of data includes the number of visitors to our website, the websites that have sent them to our website, and the pages they have visited on our website. We use this information to make our website more efficient, to collect general demographic information, and to monitor activity on our website. For this we use Microsoft Ads, Google Analytics and Hotjar. These anonymised cookies do not collect personal data and are placed when using the website.
Microsoft Ads:
Eduard BV/Eduards Trailer Factory BV uses the conversion and tracking tool "Microsoft Ads" (formerly known as "Bing Ads"). If you have reached us through a Microsoft Bing ad, this tool stores cookies on your device to analyze your use of our online offerings (so-called "conversion tracking"). This way, Microsoft and Eduard BV/Eduards Trailer Factory BV can recognize that someone has clicked on an ad, has been forwarded to our website and has reached a predetermined target page (so-called "conversion page"). In addition, Microsoft tells us the total number of users who clicked on a Microsoft ad and were subsequently redirected to the conversion page. Thus, using remarketing lists we create based on visitor activity on our website, Microsoft can segment audiences and then optimize our Bing ad campaigns based on these segments.
More information about data protection and the cookies used by Microsoft Bing Ads can be found in Microsoft's data protection statement: https://privacy.microsoft.com/en-us/privacystatement.
Google Analytics: Google is a service provided by Google, which determines the statistics of a website. We use Google Analytics to test whether the website works properly and whether we provide the correct content. The data Eduard BV / Eduard's Trailer Factory BV receives from Google Analytics is anonymous. This means that the last digits of the IP address are converted to zeros. For this reason, we never know who and where exactly the visitor to our website is. We did not allow Google to use the analytics obtained for other Google services. Any data we collect in this way will be deleted by Google Analytics after 36 months. This allows us to measure the long-term usage trend of our website, but the data is deleted after a certain amount of time. Here you can find more information about Google Analytics: https://developers.google.com/analytics/resources/concepts/gaConceptsCo… If you'd like to block the Analytics script in the statistics of all sites that use Google Analytics, you can do so using the opt-out plug-in for Google Analytics: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.
Hotjar: We use Hotjar in order to better understand our users’ needs and to optimize this service and experience. Hotjar is a technology service that helps us better understand our users experience (e.g. how much time they spend on which pages, which links they choose to click, what users do and don’t like, etc.) and this enables us to build and maintain our service with user feedback. Hotjar uses cookies and other technologies to collect data on our users’ behavior and their devices (in particular device's IP address (captured and stored only in anonymized form), device screen size, device type (unique device identifiers), browser information, geographic location (country only), preferred language used to display our website).
