01 What Are Cookies
Cookies are small text files placed on your device (computer, tablet, or smartphone) when
you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work efficiently, remember
preferences, and provide information to site owners.
Similar technologies we may reference in this policy include local storage, session
storage, pixels, tags, and scripts that store or access information on your device.
Where we say "cookies," we generally include these technologies unless stated otherwise.
First-party vs. third-party
First-party cookies are set by glowrestore.world and read
only by us. Third-party cookies are set by external services
embedded on our pages (for example, analytics or video providers) and may be read by
those providers subject to their own policies.
This Cookie Policy should be read together with our Privacy
Policy and Terms of Use. Personal data processed
through cookies is handled as described in our Privacy Policy.
02 Types of Cookies We Use
We group cookies by purpose. The categories below reflect how we describe choices in our
cookie consent tool on pages where it appears.
Strictly necessary
Required for core functionality such as security, load balancing, consent storage,
and form submission. These cannot be disabled through our banner without breaking
the site.
Analytics
Help us understand how visitors use our website (pages viewed, time on site, referral
sources). Used only with your consent where required by law.
Marketing
May be used to measure campaign effectiveness or deliver relevant content on other
platforms. We use these sparingly and only with consent where applicable.
Functional (preferences)
Remember choices such as language or dismissed notices to improve your experience.
Where not strictly necessary, we request consent.
03 Legal Basis
Under the GDPR and Dutch Telecommunications Act (Telecommunicatiewet), we process
cookie-related personal data on the following bases:
- Strictly necessary cookies: legitimate interest and/or legal
obligation to provide a secure, functioning website—no consent required under
ePrivacy rules for these cookies.
- Analytics and marketing cookies: your consent (Article 6(1)(a)
GDPR), obtained through our cookie banner before non-essential cookies are set.
- Functional cookies (non-essential): consent where required;
otherwise legitimate interest where the impact on privacy is minimal and you can
object.
You may withdraw consent at any time by adjusting cookie preferences (where available),
clearing cookies, or changing browser settings. Withdrawal does not affect the
lawfulness of processing before withdrawal.
04 Necessary Cookies
These cookies are essential for the operation of glowrestore.ddd. They
include, for example:
- Session and security cookies: help protect against cross-site
request forgery and maintain secure connections.
- Consent cookies: record your cookie choices so we do not ask
repeatedly on each visit.
- Load and performance cookies: distribute traffic and ensure pages
load reliably.
Because they are strictly necessary, they are not used for profiling or advertising.
Blocking them via browser settings may prevent parts of the site from working correctly.
05 Analytics Cookies
With your consent, we may use analytics tools to collect aggregated statistics about
website usage. This helps us improve sleep coaching content, navigation, and page
performance.
Analytics cookies may collect pseudonymous identifiers, pages visited, approximate
location (country/region), device type, and interaction events. We configure tools where
possible to avoid collecting unnecessary personal data and to honor Do Not Track signals
where supported.
What we do not do with analytics
We do not use analytics data to make automated decisions with legal effect, to
diagnose medical conditions, or to sell personal data to third parties.
06 Marketing Cookies
Marketing cookies, if enabled with your consent, may track visits across sites to measure
advertising performance or show reminders about our services on third-party platforms.
We limit marketing tags to what is proportionate for a coaching business. If you decline
marketing cookies, you may still see generic ads elsewhere, but they will not be
tailored based on your activity on our site.
You can opt out of marketing cookies through our cookie banner (on pages where it is
shown), browser controls, or industry opt-out tools where available in your region.
07 Third-Party Cookies
Some cookies are placed by service providers acting on our instructions or as independent
controllers. Examples may include:
- Content delivery networks and hosting providers
- Analytics platforms (when consented)
- Embedded media or map widgets, if used on specific pages
- Payment processors on checkout pages (session cookies for fraud prevention)
Third parties may process data outside the EEA. Where that occurs, we rely on appropriate
safeguards such as Standard Contractual Clauses, as described in our Privacy Policy. We
encourage you to review third-party privacy policies for additional detail.
Note: We do not control cookies set by third-party sites you reach
through links on our website. Review their policies before interacting with external
services.
08 Cookie Duration
Cookies may be session cookies (deleted when you close your browser) or
persistent cookies (remain until they expire or you delete them).
- Consent records: typically stored for 12 months, after which we may
ask you to confirm preferences again.
- Session identifiers: expire at end of browser session or after a
short inactivity period.
- Analytics cookies: often range from 24 hours to 24 months depending
on the tool configuration.
- Marketing cookies: commonly 30 days to 13 months unless you clear
them sooner.
Exact durations for cookies we currently use are listed in Section 11. We review
retention periodically and shorten periods where feasible.
09 How to Manage Cookies
You control non-essential cookies in several ways:
- Cookie banner: on main site pages (not on this policy page), use
"Accept," "Reject," or "Customize" to set preferences. You can reopen settings by
clearing the consent cookie and reloading the site.
- Browser settings: see Section 10 for instructions to block or
delete cookies globally or per site.
- Opt-out links: some analytics providers offer direct opt-out tools;
we will link them in Section 11 when applicable.
Consequences of refusing cookies
Refusing analytics or marketing cookies does not prevent you from using our website.
You may lose personalized features or we may have less insight into how to improve
content—but core browsing and contact forms will still work.
