We comply with applicable data protection regulations, such as the General Data Protection Regulation No. 2016/679 (GDPR) and national data protection laws. This regulation concerns the protection of your personal data and grants you rights regarding that data.
The purpose of this policy is to indicate the personal data we collect through cookies and how we use your data after you have visited our website via a desktop computer, tablet, smartphone, or any other medium where cookies are installed.
2. What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files containing pieces of information that store data, such as your language preference, when you visit our website. These cookies are stored on your computer, tablet, or smartphone when you visit our website. Cookies may contain personally identification data, but this is not always the case.
When you revisit the website at a later time, the cookie will transmit information to the website so that it recognizes your browser and can, for example, remember your language preference. Some cookies also enable specific functions on a website or measure how website visitors use our website so that we can use this information to optimize the website.
Cookies often have an expiry date, resulting in automatically being deleted after a certain period. Some cookies are deleted immediately after closing the browser, such as session cookies, while others remain on your device for a longer period.
3. What types of cookies do we use and why?
Strictly Necessary/Essential and Functional Cookies
These cookies are crucial to navigate the website and utilize the offered functions. Functional cookies remember the choices you've made, such as the country from which you visit the website, language preference, and search parameters. Without these cookies, requested services like remembering your login details or items in a shopping cart cannot be provided. These cookies ensure a more pleasant experience tailored to your choices. They cannot track your browsing activity on other websites. We can install these cookies without requesting your permission.
Cookies for Analytical and Statistical Purposes
These cookies collect anonymous information about how people use our website. We use these cookies to determine how customers arrive at our website, how they navigate or use our website, and what can be improved, such as navigation, shopping experience, and marketing campaigns. The data stored by these cookies does not contain personal information identifying your identity.
We also use third-party services like, for example, Google Analytics to collect information about visitors to our website. This information is aggregated to determine the number of visits, average visit duration, viewed pages, etc. We use this information to measure website usage and improve the content and value of our website. More information about how Google processes your information can be found on the Google Analytics webpage. For the use of these "third-party" cookies for analytical purposes, we request your prior consent. These cookies are installed on your device only after you have given your consent.

Some of our web pages may contain electronic images called "web beacons" or "pixels" (also known as "clear gifs"), allowing us to count users who have visited the respective pages. Web beacons collect limited information including a cookie number, the date and time the page is displayed, and a description of the page on which the web beacon is placed.

List of Used Cookies
4. How are your data used and shared?
We may process and share the information obtained through cookies with:
Our group affiliates.
Any third party with whom you have requested us to share your personal data or organizations you have consented to share information with, such as Facebook or other social media acting as data controllers.
Third parties assisting us with our products and services. Some examples of third-party activities include data analysis and providers of marketing support. These companies access information processed through cookies only when strictly necessary to perform their activities. They are not allowed to use your data for other purposes.
5. Transfer of Your Personal Data
Aluminium Duffel bv does not transfer your personal data to third countries outside the European Economic Area.
TRANSFER OF DATA OUTSIDE THE EUROPEAN ECONOMIC AREA
We may transfer your personal data to third parties located in third countries (outside the European Economic Area (EEA)), i.e., the USA. This transfer of data outside the EEA is lawful if the recipient of the data is in a country that provides an adequate level of protection after an adequacy decision by the European Commission or the EU-US Data Privacy Framework, as is the case for the transfer of analytical data to Google in the USA. Some of these countries may not have equivalent data protection legislation to protect the use of your personal data. In this case, we have investigated whether appropriate precautions, such as those available within the EU (e.g., standard contractual clauses), are possible. In specific cases, we ask for your prior consent to transfer your personal data outside the EEA. For more information on data transfer, we refer to our privacy policy.
