Cookie Policy

This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are, how Amsterdam Guide (annefranke.com) uses them, and what choices you have regarding their use. This policy should be read alongside our Privacy Policy.

What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are stored on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently and to provide information to the website operators. Cookies can be "persistent" (remaining on your device until they expire or are deleted) or "session" cookies (deleted when you close your browser).

How We Use Cookies

Amsterdam Guide uses a limited number of cookies to ensure the proper functioning of our website and to understand how visitors interact with our content. We categorize our cookies as follows:

Essential Cookies

These cookies are necessary for the basic operation of our website. They include:

• Cookie consent preference (ag_cookie_consent) — stores your cookie consent choice so we don't ask again on each visit. Stored in your browser's local storage. No expiration until manually cleared.

Analytics Cookies

If enabled, we may use analytics cookies to understand how visitors navigate our website, which pages are most popular, and how users arrive at our site. This information is used solely to improve our content and user experience. We may use the following analytics services:

• Google Analytics — uses cookies such as _ga, _gid, and _gat to collect anonymous statistical data. These cookies track page views, session duration, and traffic sources. Data is processed in accordance with Google's privacy policy. IP addresses are anonymized.

Third-Party Cookies

We do not use advertising cookies or sell data to third parties. However, if our site embeds content from external services (such as maps or videos), those services may place their own cookies on your device. We have no control over these cookies and recommend reviewing the cookie policies of any third-party services.

Your Cookie Choices

When you first visit our website, a cookie consent banner will appear, giving you the option to:

• Accept All: Allow both essential and analytics cookies.
• Essential Only: Allow only cookies necessary for the site to function. Analytics cookies will not be loaded.

You can change your cookie preferences at any time by clearing your browser's local storage or cookies for this site, which will cause the consent banner to appear again on your next visit.

• View and delete existing cookies
• Block all cookies or only third-party cookies
