Cookie Policy

When you return to the site, the browser sends those files back, so the site can recognise your session, remember your preferences or measure how pages are used. Similar technologies - such as local storage, session storage and small tracking pixels - work in comparable ways, and this policy covers them all under the general term “cookies”.

A cookie generally contains the name of the site that set it, a value (often a random identifier) and an expiry date. Cookies cannot read other files on your device and are not programs.

Raven Gewinode employs cookies to ensure the website operates securely and reliably, to retain your preferences, to gauge which content provides value, and - provided you have authorized this - to track the effectiveness of our promotional activities. Essential cookies are deployed immediately upon accessing the site as the site's operation depends on them. All other types activate only following your authorization, with the option to revoke this authorization at any point.

Strictly necessary cookies

These ensure the site remains operational: they preserve your login state while browsing across sections, distribute server load, shield input fields from bot attacks and retain the cookie preferences you have previously selected. These do not compile personal information about you and cannot be disabled via our consent tool, since their absence would impair essential features including account access.

Preference (functionality) cookies

These remember the settings you choose - for example the interface language, a region, a display preference or whether you have dismissed an informational notice. They make the site more convenient but are not essential; if you refuse them, the site still works and simply asks for your preferences again on each visit.

Analytics (performance) cookies

These assist us in recording page visits, identifying which content receives attention, measuring user duration, and detecting technical issues. Information collected is presented in aggregate form: indicating whether content attracts users or loads slowly, rather than identifying individuals. We apply these insights to resolve issues and enhance the site's layout.

Marketing (advertising) cookies

These record that you arrived from a particular campaign or advertisement, help avoid showing you the same message repeatedly, and measure whether a campaign led to a sign-up. They may be read by advertising partners on other websites. They are only set with your explicit consent.

Session cookies remain active exclusively during your browsing session and are automatically deleted upon exiting your browser. Persistent cookies remain until their expiry date or until you delete them; on this site their lifetimes range from a few days to roughly two years, depending on the purpose. The exact expiry of an individual cookie can always be inspected in your browser’s storage settings.

We keep the record of your consent choices for a limited period so that the banner does not reappear at every visit; after that period we will ask again.

Our service partners, such as those providing web analytics, content distribution, security measures, or ad performance tracking, place certain cookies on our behalf. When you access other websites utilizing these same providers, those providers may access their own cookies. We are not responsible for managing third-party cookie content; their handling of collected data follows their respective privacy and cookie policies.

Non-essential third-party cookies are deployed only after you grant permission via the cookie consent tool. To obtain a current list of active providers, reach out to our support team and we will furnish you with current information.

Through our banner

Utilize the cookie consent tool or the cookie preferences option available on the site to approve or deny the preference, analytics, or advertising cookie categories. Declining a category prevents future cookies from that category being installed; existing cookies stored in your system may be deleted via your web browser.

Through your browser

All major browsers allow you to view stored cookies, delete them individually or entirely, block cookies from specific sites, block all third-party cookies, or delete everything automatically when the browser closes. You will normally find these controls under a menu named “Settings”, then “Privacy”, “Privacy and security”, “Site permissions” or “Cookies and site data”. Mobile browsers offer the same options in their settings screens, and mobile operating systems provide separate controls for advertising identifiers.

Private browsing

Opening the site in a private or incognito window means most cookies are discarded when you close that window, though this does not prevent them from being set during your visit.

Disabling essential cookies will impair core site functionality: you may lose your login session, be unable to process form submissions or execute protected transactions. Disabling preference cookies prevents recall of your choices like language preferences. Disabling statistical or promotional cookies will not impact site performance - you simply will not be included in our metrics and advertising effectiveness tracking.

This policy is reviewed on a regular basis and amended whenever the cookies we employ, their underlying technologies or the governing laws are modified. The latest version is consistently made available at this location; significant modifications will be communicated across the website or via the cookie notice, and further engagement following such changes indicates acceptance of the updated policy.

If you have a question about this policy, want details of a specific cookie or wish to exercise a data-protection right, please write to our support team through the contact page. Related documents are listed in the footer of every page, including our Privacy Policy.
