Analytical cookies

These cookies gather information about the surfing behavior of visitors to our websites, such as which pages are visited often and whether visitors receive error messages. By doing this we are able to make the structure, navigation and content of the website as user-friendly as possible for you. We do not link the statistics and other reports to individuals.

We might use software like Google Analytics to analyze page use, page interactions and the routes taken through our sites. These are known as “website metrics” or ‘analytics’.

Google Analytics is a web analysis service that is offered by Google Inc. (Google). Google Analytics uses cookies to analyze the usage of the website by Users. Google uses aggregated statistical data to give JDE an insight in the way Users use the website. Based on the guidelines of the Dutch Data Protection Authority, we made Google Analytics more privacy friendly by:

• Ensuring we have a “Processing Contract” with Google;
• Activating in Google Analytics the IP addresses anonymization;
• Ensuring sharing of data with Google will not take place.

Google may only provide this data to third parties if Google is required to do so by law, or to the extent necessary for third parties processing this data on behalf of Google.

Advertising cookies

Our aim is to provide visitors to our website with information that is as relevant as possible to them. We therefore endeavor to adapt our site as much as possible to every visitor. We do this not only through the content of our website, but also through the advertisements shown.

To make it possible for these adaptations to be carried out, we try to acquire a picture of your likely interests on the basis of the JDE websites that you visit in order to develop a segmented profile. Based on these interests, we then adapt the content and the advertisements on our website for various groups of customers.

We might use these cookies for:

• keeping track of which advertisements you have already been shown so that you are not always shown the same ones;
• keeping track of how many visitors click on the advertisement;
• keep track of how many orders are placed by way of the advertisement;
• the websites recording your visit and, as a result assessing your interests;
• checking to see if you have clicked on an advertisement;
• information about your surfing behavior to be passed to other websites;
• using third-party services to show you advertisements;
• displaying more interesting advertisements on the basis of your social media usage.

Even if such cookies are not used, please note that you will be provided with advertisements on our site; however, these advertisements will not be tailored to your interests. These advertisements can, for instance, be modified according to the content of the website. You can compare this type of content-related Internet advertisements with advertising on television. If, say, you are watching a cookery program on TV, you will often see an advertisement about cooking products during the advert breaks while this program is on.

Third parties that set cookies via our website may also try to find out what your interests are in this way. In this case, the information about your current website visit may be combined with information from previous visits to websites other than ours.
