Cookie Statement

1. Introduction
AgriDirect is committed to ensuring the optimal functioning of its website. To ensure that the website functions properly, we use techniques that involve processing personal data, such as cookies.
A cookie is a small text file that is stored on the first visit to a website on the visitor’s device (electronic equipment). The purpose of cookies is to collect information about someone, the website or statistics. Some cookies also aim to improve the user experience of the website.

2. Types of cookies
We distinguish 5 types of cookies:
1. For functional purposes
2. For analytical purposes
3. For advertising purposes
4. For identification purposes
5. For social media sharing purposes

1. For functional purposes
We use this type of cookies to register and remember your preferences as a visitor. This means you don’t have to enter your preferences over and over again so the website is easier to use. We always place functional cookies. These are necessary to make the website work properly and do not process personal data other than for the purpose for which these personal data are entered.
Non-functional cookies, types 2, 3, 4 and 5 from the above list, process personal data outside your field of vision. That is why we always ask your permission before we place these cookies.

2. For analytical purposes
With analytical cookies, we collect statistics about the use of the website so we can improve the functionality and effectiveness of the site for the benefit of our users. For example, we measure the popularity of certain pages and the click behavior on our website. The external software we use for this is Google Analytics and possibly Hotjar. To comply with the AVG legislation, we do not share privacy sensitive data with these external parties and have a processor agreement with them.

3. For advertising purposes
We use this type of cookies to help us show relevant ads on third party websites (including through ad networks of Google, Facebook, LinkedIn and other third parties) to people who may be interested in our products. In addition, we use these cookies to measure the performance of our advertising campaigns. These cookies also allow us to limit the number of times you see an ad, so you don’t see the same ad over and over again. Finally, this type of cookies is also used to help you opt out of our ads.

4. For identification
One of the purposes of this type of cookie is to identify people after they have interacted with our website. An interaction is for example filling in a contact form or clicking on a hyperlink in an email you receive from us. The information we record during such an interaction is never shared with others (including customers of our company).
Furthermore, we use this type of cookies to keep track of which website pages you visit, from the information about your website visits we can derive your preferences and interests. We use this information to recognize potential customers so we can approach organizations for marketing purposes. To do this we collect visitor data, IP address and company data. The data we collect is only used internally.

5. For social media sharing options
On some web pages you will find buttons to easily share the articles and pages on social networks such as LinkedIn, Facebook and Twitter. These buttons work through pieces of code (scripts) that come from these social networks themselves. These scripts sometimes also place cookies (we have no influence on this).

3. Blocking and deleting cookies
If you do not want our website to store cookies on your computer, you can indicate this in the cookie message you see when you first visit our website. Have you already accepted our cookies? Then you will no longer see this notification and you must remove the cookies yourself (if desired).
