In addition, you can manage your consent preferences via the "Change Cookies" menu.

2. What are cookies?

Cookies are small information files that can be placed on your device (such as your computer, tablet or phone) when you visit web pages, such as bricksblue.com. The main function of cookies is to store limited data of visitors. When we talk about cookies in this cookie policy, we also mean similar techniques such as web beacons and device fingerprinting.

3. Why and which cookies do we use?

Cookies help us keep the BricksBlue platform safe, fast and optimally available. Cookies also allow us to offer you useful functionalities such as saving your most recent search query, your language, automatically filling in data and remembering that you are logged in. This makes the use of BricksBlue more pleasant, easier and more personal. We also use cookies to be able to offer you tailor-made advertisements.

Some cookies that we use on the BricksBlue platform also collect personal data. In our Privacy Policy, we have described how we handle this personal data.

In our cookie policy we distinguish between different types of cookies: functional, analytical, personalization and advertising cookies. For each category, we indicate below which type of cookies fall under what and for what reason they are placed on your device(s).

4. Functional cookies

These cookies are necessary for BricksBlue to function properly. Functional cookies are for example:
- cookies that have to do with the user functionality of our platform, such as logging in or being able to save your last search;
- no-follow cookies, based on this we know which other types of cookies we may place on your device with your permission and which we may not;

Various features in the BricksBlue platform are aimed at making it as easy as possible for you as a user and also storing your personal preferences. For example, we store your last used search query in cookies, so that you can return to that search directly from the homepage on the next visit to our site.

5. Analytical cookies

These cookies give us information about the quality and effectiveness of the services we provide. We distinguish between:
- analytical cookies that measure the quality and effectiveness of the BricksBlue platform;
- A/B testing cookies, which allow us to test different interface scenarios;
- site and performance monitoring cookies, with which we can guarantee the stability of BricksBlue.

In order to determine which parts of the BricksBlue platform are most interesting for our visitors, we try to use tools such as Google Analytics – which we set up as privacy-friendly as possible – to continuously measure how many visitors come to our platform, which parts are viewed the most and how quickly the pages load. We then make statistics of all this information collected by us. These give us insight into how the BricksBlue platform is used, how we can keep the platform stable and what improvements we need to implement to optimize our services.

6. Personalization cookies

We use cookies to build a user profile of you so that we can provide you with relevant information and make your user experience more personal. The content of advertisements can also be personalised if you also allow advertising cookies. This is done, among other things, on the basis of your behaviour on the BricksBlue platform across the different devices you use. To place these cookies, you must give permission.

7. Advertising cookies

These cookies are used by us and by third parties with whom we cooperate (hereinafter: BricksBlue partners). Based on your internet behaviour inside and outside the BricksBlue platform and across the different devices you use, a user profile is built up with this. This allows advertisements to be tailored to you personally, both on our platform and by third parties. These cookies are used, for example:
- to keep track of which ads you've already seen;
- to keep track of how many visitors see the ad in its entirety, click on it etc.;
- to build a personal profile and to be able to offer you relevant advertisements on the BricksBlue platform or other platforms based on your personal interests.

8. How long are cookies stored?

We place all functional and analytical cookies as soon as you use BricksBlue. To place personalization and advertising cookies, we need your permission. You provide this to us by making an explicit choice via the "Update Cookie" menu. If you do not want to give permission, you can use BricksBlue without the personalization and advertising cookies. If you do not give permission for advertising cookies, this does not mean that advertisements will no longer be shown.
