Cookie Policy

This Cookie Policy explains what cookies and similar technologies are used on siftingmotionon.world, why we use them, and how you can control your preferences in accordance with the GDPR and the Dutch Telecommunications Act.

1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites function properly, remember preferences, and understand how visitors interact with content. Similar technologies include local storage, session storage, and pixel tags, which we refer to collectively as "cookies" in this policy where applicable.

Cookies may be "first-party" (set by Siftingmotionon) or "third-party" (set by external services we use, such as analytics providers). They may also be "session" cookies (deleted when you close your browser) or "persistent" cookies (remaining on your device for a defined period).

3. Cookie Categories We Use

3.1 Strictly Necessary Cookies

These cookies are essential for the website to function and cannot be disabled through our cookie settings. They do not require consent under the ePrivacy Directive because they are strictly necessary to provide a service you have explicitly requested.

  • tdde_cookie_consent (local storage): Stores your cookie preference choices. Duration: 12 months. Purpose: Ensures we respect your consent decisions on subsequent visits.
  • Session security tokens: May be used to protect forms and prevent cross-site request forgery. Duration: Session. Purpose: Website security.

3.2 Analytics Cookies

These cookies help us understand how visitors use our website by collecting information about page views, navigation paths, and interaction patterns. Analytics data is aggregated and does not directly identify you unless combined with other data. These cookies require your consent before activation.

  • Analytics identifiers: Used to distinguish unique visitors and sessions. Duration: up to 26 months. Purpose: Website performance measurement and content improvement.
  • Page interaction tracking: Records which sections receive the most attention. Duration: Session to 13 months. Purpose: Understanding content relevance for our audience.

3.3 Marketing Cookies

Marketing cookies may be used to measure the effectiveness of advertising campaigns and to deliver relevant content. We only activate marketing cookies when you explicitly consent through our cookie banner or settings panel. Currently, our primary use of this category aligns with analytics measurement for campaign attribution.

  • Campaign attribution cookies: Track how visitors arrive at our website from advertisements. Duration: up to 90 days. Purpose: Measuring advertising effectiveness.
  • Remarketing pixels: May be deployed when marketing consent is given. Duration: up to 180 days. Purpose: Displaying relevant informational content to previous visitors on third-party platforms.

4. Legal Basis for Cookie Use

Strictly necessary cookies are used based on our legitimate interest in providing a functional and secure website (GDPR Article 6(1)(f)), balanced against your rights. Analytics and marketing cookies are used only with your explicit consent (GDPR Article 6(1)(a) and ePrivacy Article 5(3)). You may withdraw consent at any time by adjusting your cookie settings or clearing your browser storage.

5. Managing Your Cookie Preferences

When you first visit our website, a cookie banner presents three options:

  • Accept All: Enables strictly necessary, analytics, and marketing cookies.
  • Reject: Enables only strictly necessary cookies. Analytics and marketing cookies remain disabled.
  • Cookie Settings: Opens a panel where you can toggle analytics and marketing categories individually.

You can change your preferences at any time by clearing your browser's local storage for this site and revisiting the page, which will display the cookie banner again. You may also configure your browser to block or delete cookies globally. Note that blocking strictly necessary cookies may affect website functionality.

6. Third-Party Cookies

Some cookies are placed by third-party services integrated into our website. These providers process data under their own privacy policies. We select partners that offer GDPR-compliant data processing agreements. Third-party services may include:

  • Web analytics platforms (activated only with consent)
  • Font delivery services (Google Fonts — may collect IP addresses for delivery purposes)
  • Icon libraries loaded from content delivery networks

We review third-party cookie practices regularly and update this policy when our technology stack changes.

7. Data Collected Through Cookies

Depending on the cookie category and your consent choices, the following data may be collected:

  • IP address (potentially anonymised)
  • Browser and device information
  • Pages visited and referral source
  • Time and date of visits
  • Interaction events such as clicks and scroll depth
  • Cookie consent status and timestamp

This data is described further in our Privacy Policy, including retention periods and your rights as a data subject.

8. Data Retention

Cookie retention periods vary by type:

  • Consent preference storage: 12 months
  • Session cookies: Deleted when browser session ends
  • Analytics cookies: Up to 26 months
  • Marketing cookies: Up to 180 days

After expiration, cookies are automatically removed from your device. Aggregated analytics data retained on our servers follows the retention schedule outlined in our Privacy Policy.

9. International Transfers

Some third-party cookie providers may process data outside the European Economic Area. Where this occurs, we ensure appropriate safeguards are in place, including Standard Contractual Clauses approved by the European Commission, or adequacy decisions for the recipient country.

10. Your Rights

Under the GDPR, you have rights regarding personal data collected through cookies, including access, rectification, erasure, restriction, portability, and objection. To exercise these rights, contact us at assist@siftingmotionon.world. You may also lodge a complaint with the Autoriteit Persoonsgegevens.

11. Updates to This Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy when we add or remove cookies, change third-party providers, or when legal requirements evolve.
