1. What Are Cookies and Similar Technologies

Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. We also use similar technologies such as local storage (for example, to remember your cookie consent choice). Cookies may be set by the website you are visiting ("first-party cookies") or by third parties ("third-party cookies").

This Cookie Policy explains our use of cookies in accordance with the GDPR, the Dutch UAVG, and the rules on electronic communications under the Dutch Telecommunications Act (Telecommunicatiewet) and the EU ePrivacy rules.

2. How We Use Cookies

Shinedyn uses cookies and similar technologies for the following purposes:

  • Ensuring the proper technical functioning of our website.
  • Remembering your cookie consent preferences.
  • Understanding how visitors navigate and interact with our pages.
  • Improving our content and user experience based on aggregated usage data.

3. Cookie Categories

3.1 Strictly Necessary Cookies

These cookies are essential for the website to function properly. They enable basic features such as page navigation and access to secure areas. The website cannot operate correctly without these cookies, and they cannot be disabled.

  • cookie_consent: stores your cookie preference choices. Duration: 12 months. Type: first-party.

3.2 Analytics Cookies

These cookies help us understand how visitors interact with our website by collecting and reporting information anonymously. They allow us to measure and improve the performance of our site. These cookies are only set with your explicit consent.

4. Managing Your Cookie Preferences

When you first visit our website, a cookie consent banner will appear, allowing you to:

  • Accept All: enables all cookie categories (necessary, analytics, and marketing).
  • Reject: allows only strictly necessary cookies.
  • Cookie Settings: lets you choose which categories of cookies you wish to allow, with individual toggles for analytics and marketing cookies.

You can change your preferences at any time by clearing the cookie consent data from your browser's local storage, which will cause the consent banner to reappear on your next visit.

5. Browser-Level Cookie Controls

Most web browsers allow you to manage cookies through their settings. You can typically:

  • View and delete cookies stored on your device.
  • Block cookies from specific or all websites.
  • Set preferences for first-party and third-party cookies separately.
  • Configure notifications when cookies are being set.

Please note that blocking certain cookies may affect the functionality of our website and your ability to access certain features.

6. Legal Basis and Consent

Strictly necessary cookies and local storage for consent records are used on the basis of our legitimate interest in providing a functional website (Article 6(1)(f) GDPR) and, where applicable, to comply with legal obligations. Analytics and marketing cookies are placed only after you have given your prior, freely given, specific, informed, and unambiguous consent (Article 6(1)(a) GDPR and Article 11.7a Telecommunicatiewet).

You may refuse or withdraw consent at any time without detriment. Withdrawing consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing based on consent before withdrawal. Non-essential cookies are not placed until you accept them via our cookie banner.

7. Data Protection and Retention

Information collected through cookies is handled in accordance with our Privacy Policy. Cookie-related personal data is retained only for the periods stated in this policy or until you withdraw consent, after which applicable cookies are disabled and consent records updated.

Where third-party tools (such as analytics or advertising partners) are used, they act as separate controllers or processors as described in their own policies. We require processors to provide adequate safeguards when data is processed outside the EEA.

8. Changes to This Cookie Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy periodically to reflect changes in our practices or legal requirements. We encourage you to review this page regularly. The "Last updated" date at the top indicates the most recent revision.
