In this statement
SAJW Studio Netherlands ("SAJW Studio", "we", "us", or "our") uses cookies and similar technologies on our website and digital platforms. This Cookie Statement explains what cookies are, how we use them, and how you can manage your cookie preferences in compliance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR / AVG) and the Dutch Telecommunications Act (Telecommunicatiewet).
1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files stored on your computer, tablet, or mobile device when you visit a website. They allow the website to recognize your device, remember your preferences, and ensure optimal website functionality and performance.
2. Types of Cookies We Use
We categorize the cookies used on our platforms into the following types:
A. Essential / Strictly Necessary Cookies
The site stores your cookie choice in essential browser storage so it can remember whether you accepted or declined optional analytics. This preference is stored in local storage, not in a cookie.
Purpose: Remember and honour your privacy choice.
B. Functional Cookies
SAJW Studio does not currently use functional cookies.
C. Performance & Analytical Cookies
Only after you explicitly allow Matomo analytics, our self-hosted Matomo instance at analytics.sajw-studio.com records page views, referral information, browser/device details, and IP address so we can understand site usage. Matomo runs on our own VPS. The tracker is not loaded and analytics requests are not sent before consent. You can withdraw consent at any time via Cookie settings. Matomo masks two bytes of IP addresses before storage and uses the anonymized IP for visit enrichment.
Legal Ground: Your explicit consent.
D. Marketing & Targeting Cookies (If Applicable)
SAJW Studio does not currently use marketing or targeting cookies.
3. Third-Party Services & Integrated Tools
Our website or web applications may occasionally integrate third-party tools (such as external font libraries, video players, or hosting infrastructure). These third parties may set their own cookies subject to their respective privacy and cookie policies.
4. Managing and Disabling Cookies
You can manage or withdraw your cookie preferences at any time:
- Cookie Banner / Settings: When you first visit our website, you can accept, customize, or decline non-essential cookies via our cookie banner.
- Browser Settings: Most web browsers allow you to manage or block cookies through their settings. You can delete existing cookies or set your browser to refuse all cookies. Please note that blocking essential cookies may impact website functionality.
