An Apple A Day

Cookie

1. Introduction

Our website, https://anappleaday.nl (https://anappleaday.nl/) (the “website”), uses cookies and similar technologies such as local storage (together, “cookies”). Cookies may also be placed by third parties we use, such as Google. This policy explains which cookies we use and why.

2. What are cookies?

A cookie is a small file that is sent with pages of this website and stored by your browser on your device. The information in it may be sent back to our servers or to the servers of the relevant third parties on a later visit.

3. What are scripts?

A script is program code that helps the website work and stay interactive. It can run on our server or on your device.

4. What is a web beacon?

A web beacon (or pixel) is a small, often invisible, piece of text or an image used to measure visits. Data about your visit can be stored when a web beacon loads.

5. Cookies we use

5.1 Necessary / functional cookies
These cookies are needed for the website to work and to remember your choices, such as language and cookie consent. We may place these without asking, because the site cannot function properly without them.

5.2 Analytics cookies
These cookies help us understand how visitors use the website, for example which pages are viewed. They are only placed after you accept analytics cookies (or accept all cookies).

5.3 Marketing cookies
These cookies can be used to measure campaigns and show more relevant ads. They are only placed after you accept marketing cookies (or accept all cookies).

6. Cookies placed on this website

Necessary

An Apple a Day — language

  • Name: site-locale
  • Type: cookie and local storage
  • Expiration: 1 year (cookie)
  • Function: remembers whether the site is shown in English or Dutch

An Apple a Day — cookie consent

  • Name: cookie-consent, cookie-settings
  • Type: local storage
  • Expiration: stored until you clear site data or change your choice
  • Function: stores your cookie choices so we do not show the banner on every visit and so we know whether analytics and marketing may load

Analytics (only with consent)

Google Analytics 4
Used when a GA4 measurement ID is set in the website settings, and only after you consent to analytics. Data is processed by Google Ireland Limited / Google LLC. See Google’s privacy policy (https://policies.google.com/privacy) and how Google uses data from sites that use Google services (https://policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites).

Typical cookies include:

  • _ga — 2 years — distinguishes visitors
  • _ga_* — 2 years — keeps the GA4 session state
  • _gid — 24 hours — distinguishes visitors

Marketing (only with consent)

Google Tag Manager
Used when a GTM container ID is set in the website settings, and only after you consent to analytics and/or marketing. Tag Manager itself is a container. The tags inside it (for example Google Ads or other pixels) are configured in Google Tag Manager and only run after the matching consent.

Depending on that container, Google may also set advertising cookies such as _gcl_au. We do not share this data ourselves for other parties’ own marketing.

If both GTM and a direct GA4 ID are available, the website uses GTM only.

7. Consent

The first time you visit, we show a cookie banner. You can:

  • Accept — necessary cookies plus analytics and marketing
  • Deny — necessary cookies only
  • Preferences — choose analytics and/or marketing yourself, then save

Necessary cookies always stay on. You can change your choice later by clearing this site’s cookies and local storage in your browser, then visiting again so the banner reappears.

8. Enabling, disabling and deleting cookies

You can delete cookies in your browser, block them, or ask to be notified when a cookie is set. See your browser’s help pages. If you delete cookies, necessary cookies (including language and consent) will be set again on a later visit. Blocking all cookies may affect how the website works.

9. Your rights

You have the right to know why personal data is needed, what happens to it, and how long it is kept. You also have the right of access, rectification, erasure, restriction, objection, and data portability, and the right to withdraw consent.

To exercise these rights, contact us using the details below. You may also lodge a complaint with the Dutch Data Protection Authority (Autoriteit Persoonsgegevens).
