We use a number of cookies with different properties:

1. Functional cookies improve ease of use. For example, they remember selections or remove the need to log in every time. We use functional cookies.
2. Transaction cookies are used when you have made a booking and, where applicable, to pay commissions to our partners. We use transaction cookies.
3. Monitoring or analytical cookies enable us to map anonymised visitor and search behaviour and to adjust our services in accordance with the findings. This allows us to further improve our services to you as a (potential) visitor. We use monitoring cookies by Google Analytics.

As part of the Google Analytics service, the American company Google places a cookie on your computer through our websites. Google only shares the information thus obtained with third parties that process the information on behalf of the company, or when required by law. We cannot influence this. The information collected by Google is largely anonymised. Care is taken, for example, not to include your complete IP address. The data are stored on Google servers in the United States and European Union.

In using Google Analytics cookies we follow the recommendations issued by the Dutch Data Protection Authority:

• We have a data processing agreement with Google Inc. that stipulates Google must treat cookie information with due care;
• As part of data minimisation efforts, we have chosen to encrypt the last octet of IP addresses;
• As a further data minimisation step, the function ‘Share data’ is switched off;
• We do not use other Google services in combination with the Google Analytics cookies;
• No personal information is stored or used;
• We never share information from Google Analytics cookies with third parties.
