Cookie Policy

1. What are cookies?

During your visit to the Platform Parts website, cookies may be used. Cookies are small files that a website sends to your computer when you visit the site and that are stored on your computer. These files make it possible to recognize you as a user during a later visit to the Platform Parts website.

Platform Parts uses these cookies to make your browsing experience easier and more enjoyable, and to better tailor the content to your needs and preferences, taking into account your previous visits. A cookie is completely passive and does not contain software programs, viruses, or spyware.

2. Which cookies does Platform Parts use?

Platform Parts uses various types of cookies, both files that automatically disappear once the browser is closed and files that are used during a later visit.

Platform Parts sends a number of cookies itself (‘first-party cookies’), which are managed directly by Platform Parts, including the processing of the collected data. For example, Platform Parts can improve your user experience on its website by saving selected language settings or preventing you from repeatedly seeing the same advertisements.

Partners of Platform Parts also place cookies (‘third-party cookies’), which are developed by or for them and to which only these partners have access. Platform Parts therefore has no control over and/or knowledge of the content and functioning of these cookies. Advertisers, for instance, may add cookies to their ads on the Platform Parts website to gain insight into your areas of interest and to show you only relevant advertisements.

In addition, Platform Parts relies on third parties, such as Google Analytics, to analyze website usage. These services also place cookies on your computer to determine how visitors use the website. This analysis is necessary for Platform Parts to adapt its website to visitor preferences and thereby increase ease of use.

Other third parties that may place cookies on your computer via our website include social networking services such as Facebook, Twitter, and Google+. This happens via the buttons of these services that you see on the website, allowing you to promote (“like”) or share (“tweet”) content. This includes, for example, Facebook’s well-known Like button and Like box (e.g., “Friend 1, Friend 2 and x people like this”), through which Facebook can recognize visitors by means of cookies.

3. Refusing or deleting cookies

If you continue to browse the Platform Parts website without changing the cookie settings and click the “continue” link, the installation of cookies will be accepted.

It is possible to refuse the installation of cookies via your browser settings. However, some parts of our website may then not work or not work optimally and/or access may not be possible, which is of course not the intention.

You can also delete previously installed cookies from your computer or mobile device at any time. After disabling and/or deleting cookies, you will still see advertisements, but they will no longer be tailored to your previous use of the Platform Parts website.
