Where this policy applies
This Cookie Policy applies to the AmsterCode website and any landing pages we host under our own domains and subdomains.
For websites and platforms we build for clients, their own cookie policies apply. In those cases, AmsterCode usually acts as a processor or technical implementer.
Short explanation
Cookies are small text files that are stored on your device when you visit a website. They allow the site to remember certain information between pages or visits, such as your language preference or that you are logged in.
Related technologies (such as local storage and tracking pixels) can serve similar purposes. When we mention “cookies” here, we also include these comparable techniques where relevant.
Categories of cookies
On our own site we use the following categories:
- Strictly necessary cookies – needed for basic site functions (for example security features, load balancing or remembering that you accepted a cookie bar).
- Functional cookies – to remember small preferences and improve usability.
- Analytics cookies – to understand how visitors use our site, often in aggregated form (for example which pages are visited most).
We do not use cookies for aggressive third-party advertising networks on the AmsterCode site. If this would change in the future, this policy will be updated and any required consent will be requested.
Why we place cookies
Our main reasons for placing cookies are:
- To keep the website technically secure and stable.
- To remember limited choices (such as language or cookie preferences).
- To analyse traffic in a responsible way and improve our content.
Where possible, we aim to use privacy-friendly analytics options, with shorter retention and aggregated reports.
How you can manage cookies
You have several options to control cookies:
- Via your browser settings – you can delete existing cookies and block new ones for specific sites or in general.
- Via cookie controls – where implemented, you can choose which optional categories to accept.
- By using privacy tools or extensions that block certain scripts and trackers.
If you block all cookies, some parts of our site may no longer function as intended, especially forms or login-related components.
Third-party services that may set cookies
Some third-party tools we integrate may set their own cookies, for example:
- Embedded maps or videos.
- Analytics or performance monitoring services.
- Chat tools or form providers, where used.
These parties have their own privacy and cookie policies. We try to work only with reputable services and configure them in a privacy-conscious way.
Connection with our Privacy Policy
Cookies can involve personal data when they identify or are linked to a person. How we handle that data – storage, security, rights – is explained in our Privacy Policy.
Updates to this Cookie Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy if our use of cookies changes or if laws and guidelines are updated. The version on this page is the version that applies.
If you want to ask a detailed question about cookies on the AmsterCode site, you can contact us and we will explain which tools are currently in use.
