Cookies

We use cookies on all our Alliander websites (alliander.com, werkenbij.alliander.com). On this page we explain what cookies are used for and what this means for you.

What are cookies?

A cookie is a small text file that is loaded onto the pages of this website. The cookie is stored by your browser on your computer’s hard drive. We use three different types of cookies:

Functional cookies; these cookies make a website work.
Analytical cookies; these cookies record surfing behaviour.
Tracking cookies (third-party cookies): these are used to establish a visitor profile for marketing purposes.

Functional and analytical cookies are for your own use and are not shared with third parties. Only the use of marketing cookies requires your agreement. We handle the registered data with care. Please see our Privacy statement for more information.

You can opt out of cookies by setting your internet browser to no longer store cookies. Additionally, you can delete all previously stored information via your browser settings. For a more detailed explanation, please visit this website. (in dutch)

On alliander.com, cookies are also placed by third parties, such as advertisers and/or social media companies. Even if you refuse advertising cookies after previously accepting them, you may still see personalized ads on other platforms, such as social media. This is because external parties, such as social networks, may continue to collect data through other methods (such as login information or tracking pixels) to tailor ads to your interests. We do our best to protect your privacy, but please note that these platforms conduct their own data processing.
