Last Updated: May 28, 2025
This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are and how Amsterdam Tour ("us", "we", or "our") uses them on the amsterdamtour.org website (the "Service"). You should read this policy so you can understand what type of cookies we use, the information we collect using cookies and how that information is used. For further information on how we use, store and keep your personal data secure, see our Privacy Policy.
What are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that are stored on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. They allow the website to recognize your device and remember if you've been to the website before. Cookies are widely used to make websites work more efficiently, as well as to provide information to the owners of the site.
How We Use Cookies
We use cookies for a variety of reasons detailed below. Unfortunately, in most cases, there are no industry standard options for disabling cookies without completely disabling the functionality and features they add to this site. It is recommended that you leave on all cookies if you are not sure whether you need them or not in case they are used to provide a service that you use.
The types of cookies we may use on the Website are set out below:
- Strictly Necessary Cookies: These cookies are essential for you to browse the website and use its features, such as accessing secure areas of the site. Cookies that allow web shops to hold your items in your cart while you are shopping online are an example of strictly necessary cookies. These cookies will generally be first-party session cookies.
- Performance Cookies (Analytical Cookies): These cookies collect information about how you use our Website, like which pages you visited and which links you clicked on. None of this information can be used to identify you. It is all aggregated and, therefore, anonymized. Their sole purpose is to improve website functions. This includes cookies from third-party analytics services as long as the cookies are for the exclusive use of the owner of the website visited. For example, we may use Google Analytics to monitor traffic on our website.
- Functionality Cookies: These cookies allow our website to remember choices you have made in the past, like what language you prefer, or what your user name and password are so you can automatically log in (if applicable).
- Targeting/Advertising Cookies: These cookies track your online activity to help advertisers deliver more relevant advertising or to limit how many times you see an ad. These cookies can share that information with other organizations or advertisers. These are persistent cookies and almost always of third-party provenance. (Note: Amsterdam Tour currently does not use advertising cookies, but this section is included for completeness if future advertising is considered).
Specific Cookies We Use
Below is a list of the cookies that we may use on our website. Please note that this list may be updated from time to time.
- `cookie_consent`: This cookie is used to remember your cookie consent preferences. (Duration: 1 year)
- Analytics Cookies (e.g., `_ga`, `_gid` from Google Analytics): These cookies help us understand how visitors interact with our website by collecting and reporting information anonymously. This helps us improve our website and services. (Duration: Varies, typically up to 2 years)
Currently, amsterdamtour.org primarily uses cookies for remembering your cookie consent and for basic analytics to improve user experience. We do not use cookies for targeted advertising.
Disabling Cookies
You can prevent the setting of cookies by adjusting the settings on your browser (see your browser Help for how to do this). Be aware that disabling cookies will affect the functionality of this and many other websites that you visit. Disabling cookies will usually result in also disabling certain functionality and features of this site. Therefore it is recommended that you do not disable cookies.
You can also manage your cookie preferences through the cookie consent banner that appears when you first visit our website, or by clicking a "Cookie Settings" link if provided in the footer.
More Information
Hopefully, that has clarified things for you. As was previously mentioned, if there is something that you aren't sure whether you need or not, it's usually safer to leave cookies enabled in case it does interact with one of the features you use on our site.
