3. How We Use Cookies
We use cookies to ensure our website operates correctly, to remember your cookie preferences, and — with your consent — to understand how visitors interact with our educational content about relaxation routines. We do not use cookies to collect sensitive personal data.
4. Categories of Cookies
4.1 Strictly Necessary Cookies
These cookies are essential for the website to function and cannot be disabled through our cookie banner. They include cookies that remember your cookie consent choice and maintain basic security features. Legal basis: legitimate interest and, where applicable, consent for storage under the ePrivacy Directive.
- tdde_cookie_consent — Stores your cookie preference settings. Duration: 12 months. Type: local storage.
4.2 Analytics Cookies
Analytics cookies help us understand how visitors use our website — which pages are viewed most often, how long visitors stay, and whether they encounter errors. This information is aggregated and does not directly identify you. These cookies are only placed with your explicit consent.
Typical purposes include measuring content effectiveness, improving navigation, and identifying technical issues. Data retention for analytics cookies is generally between 14 and 26 months, after which data is automatically deleted or anonymised.
4.3 Marketing Cookies
Marketing cookies may be used to measure the effectiveness of our informational outreach and to deliver relevant content about our consulting services and educational products. These cookies are only activated with your consent. We do not use marketing cookies for aggressive retargeting or to share data with unrelated third parties for their own marketing purposes.
5. Managing Your Cookie Preferences
When you first visit our website, a cookie banner appears offering three options: Accept All, Reject, or Cookie Settings. You can change your preferences at any time by clearing your browser cookies and revisiting the site, or by contacting us to request guidance on resetting preferences.
Through Cookie Settings, you can individually enable or disable Analytics and Marketing cookies while Strictly Necessary cookies remain always active.
Most web browsers also allow you to control cookies through their settings. You can configure your browser to block all cookies, accept only first-party cookies, or delete cookies when you close the browser. Note that disabling strictly necessary cookies may affect website functionality.
6. Third-Party Cookies
Some cookies on our website may be set by third-party services we use, such as analytics providers or content delivery networks. These third parties process data according to their own privacy policies. We select providers that offer GDPR-compliant data processing and, where data is transferred outside the EEA, appropriate safeguards such as Standard Contractual Clauses.
We review our third-party cookie usage regularly and update this policy when providers or purposes change.
7. Legal Basis for Cookie Processing
Under the GDPR and the Dutch Telecommunications Act (Telecommunicatiewet), the legal bases for cookie processing are:
- Strictly necessary cookies: Legitimate interest in providing a functional and secure website, or consent where required by national implementation of the ePrivacy Directive.
- Analytics and marketing cookies: Your explicit consent, obtained through our cookie banner before such cookies are placed.
You may withdraw consent at any time without affecting the lawfulness of processing based on consent before its withdrawal.
8. Data Retention
Cookie retention periods vary by type:
- Consent preference storage: 12 months
- Session cookies: deleted when you close your browser
- Analytics cookies: 14 to 26 months, depending on the provider
- Marketing cookies: up to 12 months, depending on the provider

10. Updates to This Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy when we change our use of cookies, add new services, or when legal requirements change.
