1. What are cookies?
A “cookie” is a small file sent out by the server of AVR nv and installed on the hard disk of your computer.
A cookie is a text file with information that is downloaded to your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. The information stored on these cookies can only be read by us and only during the period of the visit to the website. Cookies are useful because they enable websites to recognise user devices. Every time you visit the site, the cookies are sent to the website of origin and all other websites that recognise the cookie. For more information about cookies, please go to www.allaboutcookies.org.
When we refer to cookies in this policy, this covers all devices including web beacons and log files.
Log files are web server files (such as the domain name or the IP address, URLs, the http response code, the website from where you are visiting and/or the date and duration of your visit) which are automatically created when Internet users visit a website.
Certain pages on our website contain 'web beacons' (also referred to as internet tags, pixel tags and 'clear GIFs'). A web beacon is an electronic file which usually comprises one image of one pixel. It can be put on a webpage or inserted in an e-mail to send information. The web beacon can contain private data such as the IP address of the computer used to download the page with the beacon, the URL of the page with the beacon, how long the page with the beacon was viewed, the type of browser that was used to view the page and the information in cookies sent by third parties.
2. What information do we collect and why do we use cookies?
We use cookies to process information and to find out what you want from our site, among others to offer our customers a pleasant and lasting experience. Our website also uses cookies and similar technologies in order to distinguish your use preferences from those of other users of our website. This helps us to offer you a better user experience when you visit our website and also enables us to optimise our website.
Examples of the type of information we collect via cookies include:
- how many users visit the website, how often is the site visited, which pages on the site are visited, how do people on the site click through to other sites and the total amount of time spent on the website.
- the website that was visited prior to our website.
- whether you have already visited our website or you are a new visitor.
- your purchases and orders, and
- your user name, password, browser type and IP address, which allows us to recognise you when you visit us again.
Attention: we do not collect your name or e-mail address via cookies.
Cookies can also help us with the following:
- to customise your visit to your wishes: we are able to use information about your visit to improve your next visit to our site.
- update the ads and marketing messages you receive from us or third parties on this site. For instance, website functions you might be interested in and product recommendations. Our objective is to offer you what you are looking for quickly and easily, as well as
- view customer trends: we compile information from the visits of thousands of visitors, and analyse this body information in its entirety. This kind of research is aimed at identifying trends among the many visitors to our site and not so much the analysis of information of separate visitors.

4. How long are cookies stored on your device?
How long cookies can be stored on your device varies, but can generally be divided into two categories: temporary or persistent.
Temporary cookies
On all our secure pages we use temporary session cookies to assign a session ID and to store it to allow you to visit the different parts of our website without interruption. The session ID is also used for internal reporting purposes. You cannot be identified based on the information and this type of cookie does not leave any information on your hard disk that can be retrieved. Most of our own cookies are session cookies which expire as soon as you close your internet browser.
Persistent cookies
Our own analysis cookies and cookies of third parties are persistent cookies because we use them to detect long-term visitor patterns or to offer extra functions you requested relating to website updates and saved or stored content. They can be stored on your computer for a period of 24 hours, a week or even a number of years, depending on the function they support.
