4. Where do these cookies come from?
Data to Value makes use of two types of cookies:
- First party cookies are cookies that are only placed by the Data to Value domain.

Only Data to Value has access to the information stored in these cookies.
- Third party cookies are cookies that are placed or managed by a third party on another domain, and therefore not by Data to Value itself. With these cookies, the third party placing the cookie has access to the data contained in the cookie. These are, for example, cookies from advertisers and social media (e.g. Google and Facebook). Through the cookie settings tool on our websites and applications, you can easily manage your preferences regarding these third party cookies. You can therefore choose which third-party cookies may be placed on your device.

1) Essential cookies
Essential cookies are necessary for our websites and applications to work properly and be user-friendly, and to enable access to our online services. Without these cookies, our websites and applications cannot work properly. These cookies are therefore always set and do not require your consent.

- Newsletters that are tailored to your interests;
- Suggest an article, video or podcast within our websites, applications or newsletters based on articles, videos or podcasts you have previously read, watched or listened to;
- To measure whether the personalization of content works properly and is effective.

2.3) Personalised advertising cookies
Advertisements are not displayed on our websites and in our applications, however we might use advertisements to reach new and existing clients to inform them about our services and content.
We use these cookies to collect information about, among other things, your activities, interests and visits to our websites or applications. This allows us to tailor the content of our advertisements to your personal preferences and interests. Based on this, we can place you in certain segments, such as for example: woman, age category 30-40 years, …
In addition, these cookies measure the performance and effectiveness of ads (e.g. was the advertisement fully displayed and did you click on it)We also conduct market research to learn more about the audiences who visit our websites and applications and view our advertisements.
We may use the data collected by these cookies to improve our systems and software and those of our partners, and to develop new online services.
Examples of these advertising cookies are:
- Targeted advertising cookies: These ensure that the content of advertising messages and advertisements are adapted to your registered data (e.g. your age, gender, region) and/or your previous browsing behaviour, whether or not combined with information from other sources;
- Data to Value works together with specialist advertising partners to reach a wider range of prospects. To this end, these partners place their own cookies on Data to Value domains and get access to the target groups that Data to Value manages. Please note: Data to Value makes sure that these partners do not receive any data from you by which they can directly recognize you, such as your name or e-mail address;
- Facebook Conversion Pixel (records browsing behaviour after viewing an advertisement in Facebook. This information is added to the user’s Facebook profile).
- Leadfeeder API:
If you do not accept these cookies, our ad targeting and services might become less relevant to you.
6. How long are cookies kept?
The storage period varies from cookie to cookie, but broadly speaking, cookies can be classified into the following two categories according to their storage period:
- Temporary cookies (“session cookies“): these are cookies that are temporary in nature and are deleted as soon as you close your browser or application;
- Persistent cookies: these cookies remain on your device even if your browser or (mobile) application is closed. Persistent cookies allow us to recognise you the next time you visit our websites or applications. Persistent cookies remain on your device until a predetermined end date is reached or until you delete them using the settings in your browser, (mobile) application or mobile device.
