USE OF COOKIES

Legler cookie statement

Welcome to our website! We are very happy to have you. To make your experience on our website as pleasant and positive as possible, we need to use cookies. You can read all about how cookies work on this page.

What are cookies?

A cookie is a small text file that is saved on your smartphone, tablet, or computer. The information contained in this text file is used for functional, commercial, or statistical purposes. We will explain the differences between these three things below. In addition to cookies, there are also other methods that we can use to save and read certain information on your computer, tablet, or smartphone. An example of this is local storage. It works more or less the same as a cookie. We will group the two concepts under “cookies” in this explanation to make it a little easier. To place cookies, we use some common techniques, such as JavaScript and tracking pixels.

Are cookies safe?

The use of cookies is completely safe and very common if you use the Internet a lot. A cookie never contains personal information, such as your name, phone number, or email address. For this reason, cookies can never be used to contact you directly through email or telemarketing campaigns. It is very important to us that you know exactly what type of cookies we place and which are used by third parties. You can read it all below.

Why do we use cookies?

We use cookies for several different purposes:

  • Functional cookies: to ensure that our website is easy to use and secure.
  • Analytical cookies: to analyze the use of our website.
  • Advertising cookies: to be able to place the appropriate ads.
  • Social media cookies: to ensure that you can share or save images and articles.

Below you can read exactly what cookies do in these categories. You can also find out which companies may place cookies on your computer, tablet, or phone when you visit our website, as we do not always do this ourselves. Sometimes we use the services of other companies and they place cookies. The company Google is a good example. Google offers us products that we can use to measure the number of visitors we have to our website and provides us with advertisements. To do this, they must place a cookie.

Where another company places a cookie, we will refer you via a link to your privacy statement or cookie statement. This way you can read for yourself what these companies are doing with the cookies they place.

We collect this type of statistical data using Google Analytics. To do this, Google Analytics places us with analytical cookies.

Advertising cookies

Maintaining our website and making sure new content goes up as it takes a lot of time and work. To fund all of this, we need revenue. This revenue is generated by the advertisements we serve on the pages you visit. We want these ads (and possibly these videos) to be as relevant to you as possible. To do this, our advertising partners place cookies for us.

Advertising cookies allow:

  • To make sure you don’t see the same ad too often.
