Cookie Policy
Last updated: April 2026
This cookie policy applies to the website of Data Conductors B.V. and has been drafted in accordance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and Article 11.7a of the Dutch Telecommunications Act (Telecommunicatiewet).
1. What are cookies and similar technologies?
Cookies are small text files that are stored on your device when you visit a website. In addition, a website may use similar technologies such as localStorage — a storage mechanism in your browser that stores data locally without sending it to a server.
2. Which categories do we use?
We distinguish the following categories:
- Functional / necessary — for remembering your cookie choice. This storage is necessary for the website to function and does not require consent.
- External content — Google Maps is only loaded with your consent. When loaded, third-party cookies may be placed.
- Analytics — we use Matomo for web analytics. Matomo is only activated after you have given consent via the cookie banner.
- Marketing — currently not active on this website. No marketing pixels (such as LinkedIn, Meta or others) are used.
3. Which cookies and technologies do we currently use?
| Name | Type | Purpose | Retention |
|---|---|---|---|
| dc-cookies-v2 | localStorage | Remembers your cookie choice (accepted/declined) | No automatic expiry — manual removal only |
| _pk_id.* | First-party cookie (Matomo) | Anonymous visitor ID for web analytics | 13 months |
| _pk_ses.* | First-party cookie (Matomo) | Session identification for web analytics | 30 minutes |
dc-cookies-v2 is stored via localStorage and contains only your consent choice (accepted or declined). No automatic expiry date. The storage persists until you clear your browser data or reset your choice via the "Cookie preferences" link in the footer.
The Matomo cookies (_pk_id and _pk_ses) are only placed after you have given consent via the cookie banner. They are set as first-party cookies on dataconductors.com and are not shared with third parties. Matomo may additionally place a _pk_ref cookie on referred visits (retention 6 months) for referrer tracking.
No marketing cookies or tracking pixels are currently used on this website.
4. Google Maps
Our contact page includes an interactive map from Google Maps. This map is only loaded after you have given consent via the cookie banner. When loaded, Google may place cookies on your device. Please refer to Google's privacy policy for more information.
If you decline cookies, the map will not be loaded. The website remains fully usable without Google Maps.
5. Matomo Analytics
We use a Matomo instance managed by us for web analytics to understand how visitors use our website. Matomo is only activated after you have given consent via the cookie banner.
The Matomo instance runs on hosting provided by Cloud86 in the Netherlands (analytics.dataconductors.com). The collected analytics data is not shared with external advertising or analytics platforms.
After your consent, Matomo may place first-party cookies on dataconductors.com to distinguish visitors and sessions for web analytics. These cookies are listed in the table above. Matomo is self-hosted by us and the data is not shared with third parties. We do not use Matomo for cross-site tracking.
If you decline cookies, Matomo will not be loaded and no tracking takes place.
6. Consent and withdrawal
When you first visit the website, a cookie banner is displayed where you can choose to accept or decline cookies. Your choice is stored in localStorage (see table above).
If you wish to change your choice, you can use the "Cookie preferences" link at the bottom of every page. This will clear your previous choice and display the cookie banner again, allowing you to make a new choice. You can also manually clear the stored browser data for this website.
Functional storage (your cookie choice in localStorage) is necessary for remembering your consent preference and does not require consent. The website is fully usable if you decline non-functional cookies.
7. Third parties
The only third party that may place client-side cookies on this website is Google, via the Google Maps integration, and only when you have given consent. Matomo is not a third party — it is an instance managed by us on hosting provided by Cloud86.
Other service providers (hosting provider, email provider, form processor) do not place cookies in your browser.
