A method used on many internet pages to make them function better and to better align them with the preferences of users is the use of so-called (temporary or permanent) 'cookies'. These are small text files that are automatically placed on the computer of a visitor by the visited internet page. In this way, you can, for example, record the preferences of a visitor, so that the internet page is automatically adjusted to them during a subsequent visit. When you first visit our website, we ask your permission to place cookies.
This website uses cookies for the following three purposes:
1. Functional goals
Cookies for functional purposes enable logging in and navigating the website. A cookie is also used when you share a page via social media. These are temporary cookies that expire at the end of the browser session. Example: you log in and want to remain logged in when viewing different pages on the website. The information recorded in this cookie is not provided to third parties.
2. Analytical objectives
We also use cookies to measure and analyze the use of this website. If you accept our placing of cookies, we will collect data about your IP address, the number of visitors to our web pages and how you arrived at our website (for example, because you clicked on an advertisement from us, or on a link in an email). Example: we can keep track of how many visitors a certain page has. This information is always anonymous, so who visits what cannot be traced. 4watoto.com uses Google Analytics for this purpose, a web analysis service offered by Google Inc. ('Google'). Google Analytics uses cookies. The information generated by the cookie about your use of the website is transferred to and stored by Google on servers in the United States. Google uses this information to track how you use the website, to report on website activity to website operators, and to offer other services relating to website activity and internet usage.
Google may provide this information to third parties if it is legally required to do so, or to the extent that these third parties process the information on behalf of Google. Google will not combine your IP address with other data held by Google. This information is therefore only stored in your browser for a period of 180 days. This is a standard period. We always place these cookies if your browser allows it.
3. Personalization/optimization goals
These cookies make it possible to show you relevant pages based on your surfing behavior. Your surfing behavior on this website can also be used to show you relevant information about our products and services on third-party websites. In addition, we use cookies to test different pages next to each other, which allows us to optimize our website as much as possible.
The cookie is placed on your browser when you visit 4watoto.com and is given a unique number. By recognizing that number, 4Watoto can show appropriate information on the website you are currently on (can be anywhere on the internet). The information recorded in the cookie is not provided to third parties, but is only stored in your browser for a period of 180 days. This is a standard period.
