This policy explains how the DSR (Dutch Synthetic Reefing) website (the “Service”) uses cookies and similar technologies. We keep this use minimal and strictly necessary to run the site securely.

1. What are cookies

Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. They are often used to make a site work, keep you logged in, or protect against abuse. Similar technologies (such as data in browser storage) may be used for the same kinds of necessary purposes.

2. What we use

We do not set cookies for advertising, social media tracking, or broad analytics. We do not use marketing or profiling cookies for third parties on the Service.

We use only strictly necessary cookies and related mechanisms required for the website to function and remain secure, including in particular:

• Session and authentication: to keep you logged in while you use the site and to associate your actions with your account, where the Service provides login features.
• Security (including CSRF): to help prevent cross-site request forgery and other abuse, as implemented by the web framework and security settings.

These are considered “necessary” in the sense of the ePrivacy rules and, where the GDPR applies, are typically based on the need to perform the service you request and/or our legitimate interest in running a secure site, rather than on optional marketing consent.

3. What we do not use

We do not deploy optional third-party marketing pixels, ad networks, or non-essential analytics cookies for cross-site tracking as part of this policy. If that ever changes, we will update this page and, where required, ask for your consent before setting non-essential cookies.

4. Your choices

Most browsers let you see which cookies are stored, delete them, and block or limit cookies. If you block all cookies, including strictly necessary ones, parts of the Service (for example sign-in) may not work correctly.

5. More information

For how we process personal data in general, see our Privacy statement and Terms and Conditions.

Review this with your host or a legal adviser if you add tools that set additional cookies (e.g. Google Analytics, embedded videos, or chat widgets) so this policy stays accurate.
