You usually cannot see what exactly a cookie is for. As we wrote before, cookies are text files, but the content of those files is usually unreadable computer code. That is why we would like to give you some more explanation. The use of cookies is very important for the proper functioning of our websites, but cookies of which you do not immediately see the effect (such as Google Analytics) are also very important to Royal Dirkzwager. Without anonymous input from visitors, we have no idea of how our websites are used and how we can improve them.
Royal Dirkzwager uses cookies:
Permanent cookies

Tracking cookies
A profile is built up with tracking cookies. This profile is not linked to, for example, your name, address, and e-mail address. It serves to tailor advertisements to your profile, so that they are as relevant to you as possible. With your permission, we place tracking cookies on your equipment. These cookies can be retrieved later when you visit a website from our network. This allows us to find out that you have also visited other website(s) from our network in addition to our website. The tracking cookies can also be used by advertisers that are in the same network.
You can delete tracking cookies via the settings of your browser. Some tracking cookies are placed by third parties who display advertisements to you via our website, among other things. You can delete these cookies centrally, so that they are not placed back on a third-party website.
Google Analytics
A cookie is placed via our website from the American company Google, as part of the “Analytics” service. We use this service to keep track of and to get reports on how visitors use the website. Google may provide this information to third parties if Google is legally obliged to do so, or insofar as third parties process the information on behalf of Google. We have no influence on this. We have allowed Google to use the obtained analytics information for other Google services.
The information that Google collects is anonymized as much as possible. We have requested Google to mask your IP address and we have concluded a processing agreement with Google.
Our website includes buttons to promote or share webpages on social networks such as Facebook and Twitter. These buttons work by means of pieces of code that come from Facebook or Twitter itself. Cookies are placed through this code. We have no influence on that.

Royal Dirkzwager B.V. (hereafter: Royal Dirkzwager) specializes in sharing maritime information and insights with organizations in the maritime and logistic sector.
You therefore hand over an important part of your business operations to us. To make this possible, you provide us with personal data. For example, when you send us documents, when you call us, e-mail us, write a letter, when you visit us or speak to an Royal Dirkzwager employee. We therefore think it is important that you know that you can rely on us to handle your (personal) data carefully and confidentially. In this statement we provide you with an explanation and we explain exactly how we do this.
The person responsible for processing the data is Royal Dirkzwager, located at the Noordzee 10 A (3144 DB) Maassluis.
What is personal data?
Personal data is any information about an identified or identifiable natural person. This means that information is either directly about someone or can be traced back to this person. The fact that it must concern a natural person means that data of deceased persons or organizations are not personal data. Examples of personal data are: your name, address and place of residence. Your telephone number and zip code with house number are also personal data. Sensitive data such as someone’s race, religion or data about your health are also referred to as special personal data. These need extra protection.
Whose personal data do we process?
We process personal data for the benefit of our own business operations. This includes personal data of our customers, employees and personal data that we collect via the website. We are responsible for that data ourselves. Important: if you, as an organization or company, pass on personal data of your employees to us, you are obliged to inform your employees about this.
What do we use your personal data for?
The personal data you have provided to us will only be processed for the following purposes:
We only use the personal data for these purposes and never pass on the personal data to third parties without your permission or another basis. If we are allowed to pass on the data with permission or on another basis, we will impose the same protection and security measures on the third party as we use ourselves.
The processing takes place on the basis of one of the following bases:
Which personal data do we process?
We process, among other things, the following personal data of our customers:
We do not process personal data that we have not obtained directly from you.
How do we handle your personal data?
When processing personal data, Royal Dirkzwager adheres to the rules prescribed by privacy legislation, such as the GDPR. This means that we only collect and process personal data if there is a legitimate basis and purpose for this. Only the personal data that is necessary is collected and the personal data is then only processed for that specific purpose. We keep an eye on the nature of the personal data and adjust an appropriate technical and organizational level of security accordingly. You can therefore assume that we handle personal data carefully, safely and confidentially.
Confidentiality
The services provided by Royal Dirkzwager require that our employees have access to your personal data. In order to guarantee the protection of your personal data here too, all our employees have signed a confidentiality statement. We hereby impose on our employees that they keep your personal data absolutely confidential and that they handle the data you entrust to us with care. It is important to know that only authorized personnel may process your data.
Inspection and correction of your personal data
We collect and process personal data from you, but this data will of course remain yours. That is why we always offer you the opportunity to see what information we have about you. If the information is incorrect, you can request that it be corrected. You can send a request for inspection or correction of your data to the following e-mail address: privacy@dirkzwager.com. You can also contact us with questions about this Privacy Statement.
Retention period(s)
We do not store your personal data longer than is necessary for the purpose for which we obtained the data from you. The criteria for determining the retention period of your personal data are: (a) the duration of the agreement with Royal Dirkzwager, (b) the existence of a statutory retention obligation or period or (c) the existence of a (potential) claim or dispute in the context of which the data should be kept.
