Cookie Policy
This Cookie Policy describes how elisabethvanroosendael.com (the “Site”) uses cookies and similar technologies. It should be read together with our Privacy Policy. The Site is intended for adults aged 18 or older.
What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. They can be “session” cookies (removed when you close the browser) or “persistent” cookies (stored for a defined period). Similar technologies include local storage entries that the Site may use for lightweight preferences.
How we use cookies
Strictly necessary / functional: we use storage mechanisms to remember that you passed the age gate for the current browser session and to record your cookie-banner choice (accept or reject non-essential cookies) where applicable. These items help the Site function safely and predictably.
Optional: where we introduce analytics or preference cookies in the future, we will only activate them if you consent through our cookie banner. You may withdraw consent at any time by clearing Site data in your browser and revisiting the banner state.
Third-party cookies
When you follow outbound links to operators or regulators, those sites may set their own cookies or read identifiers for security, analytics, or attribution. We do not control those technologies; please review each destination’s cookie notice.
Managing cookies
Most browsers let you block or delete cookies through settings. Blocking all cookies may prevent parts of the Site from working as intended (for example, repeated age prompts every visit). Use our on-page controls where available, then fine-tune with your browser tools.

Cookie categories used on this Site
Strictly necessary cookies and storage: these items are required for core functions such as remembering that you confirmed the age gate during the current browser session and storing your cookie-banner decision so we do not repeatedly ask for the same choice during subsequent visits. They are not used to build a marketing profile about you on our infrastructure.
Functional preferences: if we add optional preferences in the future—for example, remembering that you prefer a compact layout—they will be activated only with consent where consent is required by law, and described in an updated version of this policy before activation.
Analytics and performance: we may introduce privacy-conscious analytics that measure aggregated page views, scroll depth, or broken links. Where such tools use cookies or similar identifiers rather than purely server-side logs, we will request consent through the cookie banner when required and provide an easy way to withdraw consent without degrading essential navigation.
Retention periods
Session-scoped items tied to the age gate expire when you close the browser tab or window, depending on browser behaviour. Cookie-banner decisions stored in local storage persist until you clear site data or use the banner controls to change your preference. We do not intentionally set multi-year first-party marketing cookies on this Site today; if that changes, this section will include maximum durations and the legal basis for each category.
Third-party technologies beyond outbound links
Embedded videos, social widgets, or chat widgets from third parties can introduce additional cookies even when the embed looks small on the page. We currently avoid such embeds on policy pages to keep tracking surface area low. If we add embeds later, we will identify the provider, describe the likely cookies, and gate activation behind consent where appropriate.
Browser controls and industry tools
Major browsers allow you to block third-party cookies, delete existing cookies on exit, or create exceptions for specific domains. Mobile operating systems provide similar controls inside Safari, Chrome, or Firefox settings. Industry programmes such as the European Interactive Digital Advertising Alliance also publish opt-out pages for interest-based advertising where applicable. None of these tools replaces reading each operator’s own cookie list before you create a gambling account.
Changes to this policy
When we materially change how cookies are used, we will update the published date or revision note at the top of this page where we maintain one, and we may surface a short notice through the cookie banner asking you to review the new wording. Continued use after a reasonable notice period may be treated as acknowledgement of non-essential changes where the law permits reliance on implied consent for low-risk analytics; stricter regimes will receive explicit consent prompts instead.
Questions about specific cookies
If you export a list of cookies from your browser while visiting our domain and see a name you do not recognise, email a screenshot to info@elisabethvanroosendael.com with the page URL and approximate time. We will map the name to our hosting configuration or known third-party scripts and explain whether it is essential, optional, or unexpected so you can decide whether to clear data or continue browsing.
