1. First-Party Cookies
1.1 Google Analytics (tracking cookies)
Through our website, a cookie is placed by the company Google as part of the “Analytics” service. We use this service to track and receive reports on how visitors use the website. Google may provide this information to third parties if Google is legally required to do so, or insofar as such third parties process the information on Google’s behalf. We have no influence over this. We have not permitted Google to use the Analytics information obtained for other Google services.
The information collected by Google is anonymised as much as possible. Your IP address is explicitly not transmitted. The information is transferred to and stored by Google on servers in the United States. Google states that it complies with the Safe Harbor principles and is affiliated with the Safe Harbor programme of the U.S. Department of Commerce. This means that an adequate level of protection applies to the processing of any personal data.
1.2 Functional and Technical Cookies (Necessary Cookies)
Technical cookies are cookies that are necessary for the proper functioning of Prescan’s website(s), for creating an account, for logging in, and for detecting fraud related to your account. Functional cookies remember your preferences. Prescan.nl does not use functional cookies, with the exception of cookie control cookies (see paragraph 1.3).

2. Third-Party Cookies
2.1 Tracking Cookies for Relevant Advertising
By using our website, you agree to our cookie policy or have implicitly given consent, unless you change your settings (see Chapter 3 for more information). After consent has been given, third parties place “tracking cookies” on your device in order to better tailor advertisements to your preferences.
These cookies are used to track which pages you visit outside their own network, thereby building a profile of your online browsing behaviour. This profile is partly created on the basis of similar information obtained from your visits to other websites within their network. This profile is not linked to your name, address, email address or similar personal details known to us, but is used solely to tailor advertisements to your profile so that they are as relevant to you as possible.
2.2 Social Media
Our website includes buttons to promote (“like”) or share (“tweet”) web pages on social networks such as Facebook and Twitter. These buttons function by means of pieces of code originating from Facebook and Twitter themselves. Through this code, cookies are placed. We have no influence over this. Please read the privacy statements of Facebook and Twitter (which may change from time to time) to learn how they process your (personal) data through these cookies.
The information collected is anonymised as much as possible. The information is transferred to and stored by Twitter, Facebook, Google+ and LinkedIn on servers in the United States. LinkedIn, Twitter, Facebook and Google+ state that they comply with the Safe Harbor principles and are affiliated with the Safe Harbor programme of the U.S. Department of Commerce. This means that an adequate level of protection applies to the processing of any personal data.
