MARKETING (COOKIES FOR ADVERTS)

With your permission, cookies will be placed on your device to track which pages you visit from the network of the parties listed below.

That profile is partly built based on comparable information these parties obtain from your visit to other websites in their network. Topicus does not link this profile to your name, address, e-mail address and personal information as known to us. However, the profile is used to tailor advertisements to your profile so that they are as relevant to you as possible.

THIRD PARTIES

The cookies which Topicus places are partly from third parties. Below is a brief summary of each third party explaining the purpose of the cookies and which agreements apply.

Google Adwords

Google Adwords cookies provide insight into the effectiveness of different media deployed by Google Adwords. This also determines advertising costs to be paid.

Google Analytics

Topicus uses this service to track and get reports on how visitors use the website, for example, visitor numbers, popular pages etc. This allows Topicus to better tailor its communication to the needs of website visitors. Google may provide this information to third parties if Google is legally obliged to do so, or insofar as third parties process the information on Google's behalf. We have no influence on this.

Topicus has entered into a processing agreement with Google Inc. and set Google Analytics to be privacy-friendly in accordance with the advice of the Personal Data Authority. In doing so, Topicus has opted for masking the last octet of the IP address, turned off the 'data sharing' option and Topicus does not use other Google services in combination with the Google Analytics cookies.
