**BudgetMoving.nl** uses cookies and similar tracking technologies to enhance your experience, analyze site usage, and support our marketing efforts. Cookies are small data files placed on your device.

10.1. Types of Cookies We Use

Strictly Necessary Cookies: These cookies are essential for the website to function properly. They enable core functionalities like security, network management, and accessibility. We don't need your consent for these.
Analytical/Performance Cookies: These cookies, including those from **Google Analytics**, help us understand how visitors interact with our website by collecting and reporting information anonymously. They tell us which pages are most popular, how long users stay, and if they encounter any errors. This data helps us improve **https://budgetmoving.nl**.
Functionality Cookies: These cookies allow our website to remember choices you make (like language preferences) and provide enhanced, more personalized features.
Marketing/Targeting Cookies: These cookies are used to deliver advertisements more relevant to you and your interests. They may also be used to limit the number of times you see an advertisement and measure the effectiveness of advertising campaigns.

10.2. Google Analytics

We use **Google Analytics**, a web analytics service provided by Google, Inc. Google Analytics uses cookies to help us analyze how users use the site. The information generated by the cookie about your use of the website (including your IP address) will be transmitted to and stored by Google on servers in the United States. Google will use this information for the purpose of evaluating your use of the website, compiling reports on website activity for website operators, and providing other services relating to website activity and internet usage. Google may also transfer this information to third parties where required to do so by law, or where such third parties process the information on Google's behalf. We have implemented IP anonymization for Google Analytics, meaning your IP address will be truncated within the EU/EEA before being transmitted to Google.

10.3. Managing Your Cookie Preferences

You have control over your cookie preferences. Most web browsers allow you to manage cookies through their settings. You can set your browser to refuse all or some browser cookies, or to alert you when websites set or access cookies.

You can also opt-out of Google Analytics tracking by installing the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on, available at https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.

11. Data Security

We take the security of your personal data seriously. We have implemented appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect your information from unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. This includes using secure servers, encryption, and access controls. While we strive to protect your personal data, no method of transmission over the Internet or method of electronic storage is 100% secure. We cannot guarantee its absolute security.

12. Data Retention

We will retain your personal data only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected, including for the purposes of satisfying any legal, accounting, or reporting requirements. To determine the appropriate retention period, we consider the amount, nature, and sensitivity of the personal data, the potential risk of harm from unauthorized use or disclosure of your personal data, the purposes for which we process your personal data, and whether we can achieve those purposes through other means, and the applicable legal requirements.

For example, if you request a quote but do not proceed with a booking, we'll keep your data for a reasonable period to follow up and for our legitimate business interests, but not indefinitely. If you sign up for our newsletter, we'll keep your email address until you unsubscribe.
