Cookie statement

1. Introduction

AgriDirect ensures the optimal functioning of its website. To ensure that the website functions properly, we use techniques which involve processing personal data, such as cookies.

A cookie is a small text file that is stored on the visitor’s device (electronic device) during the first visit to a website. The purpose of cookies is to collect information about a person, the website or statistics. Some cookies additionally aim to improve the user experience of the website.

2. Types of cookies

We distinguish 5 types of cookies:

  • For functional purposes
  • For analytical purposes
  • For advertising purposes
  • For identification
  • For social media sharing options

3. For functional purposes

We use this type of cookie to record and remember your preferences as a visitor. This saves you having to re-enter your preferences each time you visit, making the website easier to use. We always place functional cookies. They are necessary for the website to work properly and do not process any personal data other than for the purpose for which they are entered.

Non-functional cookies, types 2, 3, 4 and 5 from the list above, process personal data outside your field of vision. That is why we always ask your permission before we place these cookies.

4. For analytical purposes

We use analytical cookies to collect statistics on website usage so that we can improve the functionality and effectiveness of the site for the benefit of our users. For example, we measure the popularity of certain pages and click behaviour on our website. The external software we use for this purpose is Google Analytics and possibly Hotjar. To comply with AVG legislation, we do not share privacy-sensitive data with these external parties and have a processor agreement with them.

5. For advertising purposes

We use this type of cookies to help us show relevant ads on third-party websites (including through Google, Facebook, LinkedIn and other third-party ad networks) to people who may be interested in our products. In addition, we use these cookies to measure the performance of our advertising campaigns. We can also use these cookies to limit the number of times you see an ad, so you don’t see the same ad over and over again. Finally, this type of cookies is also used to help you unsubscribe from our ads.

6. For identification

Among other things, we use this type of cookie to identify people after they have had an interaction with our website. By an interaction, we mean, for example, filling in a contact form or clicking on a hyperlink in an e-mail you receive from us. The data we register during such an interaction is never shared with others (including customers of our company).

Furthermore, we use these types of cookies to keep track of which website pages you visit; from the information about your website visits, we can deduce what your preferences and interests are. We use this information to recognise potential customers so we can approach organisations for marketing purposes. For this purpose, we collect, among other things, visitor data, IP address and company data. The data we collect is only used internally.

7. For social media sharing opportunities

On some web pages, you will find buttons to easily share articles and pages on social networks such as Linkedin, Facebook and Twitter. These buttons work through pieces of code (scripts) that come from these social networks themselves. These scripts sometimes also place cookies (we have no influence on this).

8. Blocking and deleting cookies

If you do not want our website to be able to store cookies on your computer, you can indicate this in the cookie notification you see when you first visit our website. Have you already accepted our cookies? Then you will no longer see this notification and you must delete the cookies yourself (if you wish).

Through your browser settings, you can delete existing cookies, allow or block all cookies and set preferences for certain websites. More information can be found in the Help function of your browser:

You can also choose to block cookies through your browser. Do you block all cookies? Then our website will not function properly and you may not be able to use all the functions of this website. We recommend that you only selectively disable unwanted cookies. You can do this in your browser settings.

9. Modification of cookie policy

AgriDirect reserves the right to amend this cookie policy periodically. The most recent version will be published on this page.
