Statistics / analysis – cookies that allow us to measure website usage
We continuously monitor the use of the website in order to determine which parts of the website users find the most interesting.
The information we collect is used to generate statistics. These statistics provide us insight into how often our web page is visited, where precisely visitors spend the most time, and so on. This allows us to make the structure, navigation and content of the website as user-friendly as possible for you. We do not use the statistics and other reports to identify users.
We use cookies to:
- track the number of visitors on the website and our web pages;
- track the amount of time each visitor spends on our web pages;
- determine the order in which a visitor visits the various pages of brandfield.com;
- assess which parts of our site need changing;
- optimize the website.
Advertisements – cookies that allow us to show advertisements
Brandfield’s core activity is selling products. To encourage sales, we place advertisements on various other websites. We try to make the advertisements as relevant as possible. We buy advertising space from media agencies and advertising networks, which act as intermediaries between website owners and advertisers.
The cookies allow us to:
- track which advertisements you have already seen to prevent you from continuously seeing the same one;
- track how many visitors click on the advertisement, which is used for financial settlement with the party from which the advertising space was purchased;
- track how many orders the advertisement generates, which is used for financial settlement with the party from which the advertising space was purchased.
Interests – cookies that make the website relevant to the visitor
We aim to provide website visitors with information that is as relevant as possible, so we try to adapt our site to every visitor’s needs as much as we can. We do this by adjusting both the content of our website and the advertisements that are displayed outside of the website.
In order to be able to make these adjustments, we try to get an idea of your probable interests based on your visit to brandfield.com. Based on these interests, we then adjust the content and offers on brandfield.com for different groups of customers.
Third parties who place cookies via our website may also use the same method to learn your interests. In that case, the information about your current visit can be combined with information from previous visits to websites other than ours.
If such cookies are not used, it does not mean that you will no longer see any advertisements from us, merely that the advertisements will no longer be tailored to your interests.
The cookies allow us to:
- register the websites you visit, in order to estimate your interests;
- check whether you clicked on an advertisement;
- forward information about your online behavior to other websites;
- use third-party services to be able to show you advertisements;
- show you more relevant advertisements based on your social media activities.
Other / unforseen cookies
Because of the way the internet and websites work, it is possible that we do not always have insight into the cookies that third parties place via our website. This is especially true where our web pages contain embedded elements; these are texts, documents, pictures or videos that are stored by another party, but which are shown on, in or via our website.
If you encounter cookies on this website that fall into this category and that we have not mentioned above, please let us know. Alternatively, you may contact the third party directly and ask which cookies they have placed, the reason, the lifespan of the cookie, and how they have guaranteed your privacy.

Disabling cookies
By default, most browsers – such as Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox and Google Chrome – are set up so that you allow websites to place cookies on your computer. Adjusting your settings varies per browser. If necessary, consult your browser’s help function.

Be aware that if you disable cookies, we can no longer guarantee that our website will work properly. It is possible that some functions of the site will be lost, or that you cannot see certain websites at all. In addition, refusing cookies does not mean that you will no longer see advertisements. The advertisements will simply no longer be adapted to your interests, and will be repeated more often.
