Document background
The Cookie Notice Text is a crucial compliance document required for any website accessible to users in the Netherlands. This document is mandated by the EU's GDPR, the ePrivacy Directive (implemented in Dutch law through the Telecommunications Act), and Dutch data protection regulations. It must be implemented before a website begins using cookies or similar tracking technologies. The notice should comprehensively explain what cookies are, their purposes, how they're used on the specific website, and how users can manage their preferences. It needs to be easily accessible, typically through a link in the website's footer or via the cookie consent banner, and must be updated whenever there are changes to the website's cookie practices. The Cookie Notice Text serves as a transparency tool, helping organizations build trust with users while meeting their legal obligations under Dutch and EU law.
