COOKIE STATEMENT

We use cookies to ensure that you get the most out of our website. This Cookie Statement explains what cookies are, which cookies we and third parties use, why we use them, how long we store cookies for and how you can delete them.

WHAT ARE COOKIES?

Cookies are small text files in which information is stored. We may also use JavaScript, HTML 5 and other digital technologies to collect information from your device (like your smartphone or tablet). Collectively we refer to these digital techniques as “cookies” in this Cookie Policy. Cookies are placed on your device by us or other parties (see below in the "Provider" column) and are read during your next visit to our website. This enables us to make the website more user-friendly.

The information collected by cookies may contain personal data, such as your IP address. In this Cookie Policy we will tell you which cookies we use and what their functions are. How we process personal data that we obtain from your device via the use of cookies is described in more detail in our Privacy Policy, which also provides information on how to exercise your privacy rights.

OVERVIEW OF COOKIES

Functional cookies

We place functional cookies, also known as necessary cookies, to make our website work properly. These are cookies that ensure that information is remembered when you go to another subpage, the shopping cart functions and that data is remembered for the ordering process.

We use the following functional cookies:

PHPSESSID
verstappen.com This cookie preserves the
user session state across page requests. Session (is deleted as soon as the browser is closed).
XSRF-TOKEN verstappen.com This cookie contains a random unique ID to prevent falsification of requests between sites (which forces an end user to perform unwanted actions on a web application in which they are currently authenticated). 3572 days

Analytical cookies

Analytical cookies, also known as statistical cookies, allow us to further develop and improve the functionality of our website by analysing your use of our website. In some cases they improve the speed with which we can process your request. These cookies channel back information to our data analytics tool, Google Analytics from Google LLC (Google).

Through Google Analytics, we are provided insight into the way in which our website is used. This regards user statistics, such as the number of individual visitors, the frequently used pages and the average duration of a visit. To this end, personal data such as your IP address, information about the device you use (device identifiers), cookie identifiers and client identifiers are processed. We use Google Tag Manager to place and manage cookies and scripts.

We have followed the Manual for Privacy Friendly Google Analytics Settings of the Dutch Data Protection Authority for the use of Google Analytics. This means, among other things, that we have instructed Google to delete the last three digits of your IP address (making it difficult to trace the IP address to a specific visitor) and that we have disabled the default settings for sharing data with Google.
In addition, we have entered into a data processing agreement with Google. We do not use any other Google services in combination with the Google Analytics cookies. The limited information that is shared with Google through the use of Google Analytics can be transferred to and stored by Google on servers in the United States.

We use the following analytical cookies:

_ga verstappen.com This cookie registers a unique ID that is used to generate statistical information about how the visitor uses the website in order to make the site more user friendly. 2 years

_gid verstappen.com This cookie registers a unique ID that is used to generate statistical data on how the visitor uses the website. 1 day
_gat verstappen.com This cookie is used for throttling requests to Google Analytics to increase the efficiency of network calls. 1 day
