Xelion uses cookies and other techniques such as JavaScript and Tracking pixels. We want to safeguard your privacy and improve the user-friendliness of your visit(s) to our website, which is why we think it is important that you know how and why we use cookies. Below we provide information about the use of these techniques.
What are cookies?
Cookies are small, simple text files that your computer or mobile device stores when you visit our website.
What are the other techniques?
JavaScript and tracking pixels are standard internet techniques that, together with cookies, enable a system to collect information (JavaScripts), store it in small, simple text files (cookies) and then send it.
Cookies and other techniques are used on almost all existing websites.
By using cookies and other techniques, for example, we ensure that this is the case:
– Browsing our website becomes more fun and easier for you;
– We can measure how our website is used and where we can improve it;
– We can recognise which device (mobile, tablet or desktop) you are using when you visit us.
Third party cookies
Through our website, we also place and use cookies from third parties. This is always done completely anonymously. The use of cookies by other companies is subject to the privacy and cookie policy of the company in question.
Which cookies do we use? In short:
- Functional cookies or necessary cookies
Functional cookies ensure that our website functions properly.
- Analytical cookies
We use analytical cookies to collect statistics about the use of our website by users with the help of third parties. These statistics give us insight into, among other things, how often we are visited and where we can improve our website. In this way we ensure that the experience of our website is continually optimised. For these statistics we use Google Analytics and Hotjar. Your IP address is always made anonymous before the statistics are stored.
- Marketing cookies
Finally, we place marketing cookies that track your surfing behaviour. Cookies from embedded content from social media sites such as Facebook, YouTube, LinkedIn and Twitter also fall under this category.
On third party websites you may encounter advertisements from us. To keep these promotions and advertisements relevant, we use cookies. The advertising cookies make it possible:
– We can track which advertisements you have already seen;
– We can track how many times you have seen an advertisement;
– We can prevent you from seeing the same ad over and over again;
– We can track whether you click on the ads;
For the cookies that these parties place for advertising purposes, please refer to the statements on these parties’ websites. Because the statements may change from time to time, we encourage you to check these privacy and cookie statements regularly. The following parties place cookies on our website:
Browser settings
If you do not want websites to be able to store cookies on your computer, please adjust your browser settings. You will then receive a warning before cookies are placed. You can also adjust your settings so that your browser rejects all cookies or only the cookies of third parties. You can delete cookies that have already been placed. Please note that you must adjust the settings separately for each browser, device and computer you use. Please note that if you do not wish to use cookies, we cannot guarantee that our website will function properly. Some functions of the website may be lost or you may not be able to see certain pages at all. In addition, refusing cookies does not mean that you will no longer be able to see advertisements. The advertisements are then just no longer adapted to your interests and are repeated more often. How you can adjust your settings varies from browser to browser.
