What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files which are stored on a user’s computer. They are designed to hold a modest amount of data specific to a particular user and website, and can be accessed either by the website server or the user’s computer. This allows the server to deliver a website tailored to a particular user, or the website itself can contain some script which is aware of the data in the cookie and so is able to carry information from one visit to the website (or related site) to the next (Source: www.whatarecookies.com).
Cookies can have different characteristics:
Cookies can also have different retention periods:
Which cookies do we use and how do we use these cookies?
If you visit this website, BrandLoyalty or third parties on behalf of BrandLoyalty can process different cookies. These cookies can be divided based on the purpose for which they are used:
Functional cookies
Functional cookies are necessary for a proper performance of our website and therefore do not require your consent. For example, a functional cookie makes sure the website has a readable layout, your cookie preferences are stored during your entire session and the website is shown in the language you selected. The functional cookies are first party cookies which means that only BrandLoyalty has access to these cookies. In detail:

Analytical cookies
Analytical cookies are processed to obtain basic information about the quality and effectiveness of our website. These cookies don't collect information that identifies a visitor down to an individual level that is available to us.
BrandLoyalty uses Google Analytics to measure the quality and effectiveness of the website on our behalf. To limit the processing of personal data by Google Analytics, we made sure all analytical cookies collected are anonymised or pseudonymised as much as possible. For example, by stripping the last three digits of your IP address we have eliminated the collection of personal data. In addition, we have entered into a data processing agreement with our third parties. These cookies are only collected based on your consent.

Performance cookies
BrandLoyalty uses performance cookies to specifically measure your interactions and experience with our website. This allows us to improve the websites functionalities and to offer more personalised content.
Our performance cookies are third party cookies placed by third parties on behalf of BrandLoyalty, such as Hotjar, Vimeo, Youtube and Recruitee. These performance cookies require your consent. You can find an overview of these performance cookies in the table below.
For example, we use Hotjar to better understand our users’ needs and to optimize the service and experience of our website. Hotjar is a technology service that helps us better understand our users’ experience (e.g. how much time they spend on which pages, which links they choose to click, what users do and don’t like, etc.) and this enables us to build and maintain our service with user feedback. You can choose to interact with Hotjar by providing your email address through the Hotjar pop-up. Hotjar also uses cookies and other technologies to collect data about our your behaviour on the website. This includes a device's IP address (processed during your session and stored in a de-identified form), device screen size, device type (unique device identifiers), browser information, geographic location (country only), and the preferred language used to display our website. Hotjar stores this information on our behalf in a pseudonymized user profile. Hotjar is contractually forbidden to sell any of the data collected on our behalf. For further details, please see the ‘about Hotjar’ section of Hotjar’s support site.
Please be aware that third-party websites linked to one of our sites may also collect information from you for various purposes. Although we choose our business partners and clients carefully, BrandLoyalty is not responsible for the privacy practices of websites operated by such third parties. Please check the applicable privacy statements of such websites you visit to determine how they handle any information they collect from you. You can find the relevant links below.

_hjTLDTest |
When the Hotjar script executes we try to determine the most generic cookie path we should use, instead of the page hostname. This is done so that cookies can be shared across subdomains (where applicable). To determine this, we try to store the _hjTLDTest cookie for different URL substring alternatives until it fails. After this check, the cookie is removed. |
