What are cookies?

- Functional cookies: necessary to run the website smoothly.

- Advertising cookies: used to analyse your online behavior, in order to create a ‘buyer’s persona’ and advertise in a more relevant way (or should I say disturbing?).
Wave Content uses analytical cookies
Wave Content only uses 3rd party cookies from Google Analytics. These cookies are used to collect information about how visitors use this website.
Wave Content gathers the information to compile reports that help improve the site. The cookies collect information in an anonymous form, including the number of visitors to the site, where visitors have come to the site from and the pages they visited.
Google Analytics
Google Analytics is a tracking tool offered by Google. It shows how visitors use a website. This allows me to measure my website´s performance. And optimize my website pages to boost relevancy/conversion.
Wave Content:
- has a processor agreement with Google.
- turned off ‘data-sharing’ in Google Analytics.
- plans to anonymize IP-adresses of people that visit her website, with masking its last four digits.
- plans to place an opt-out option for visitors to be able to browse through the website without being tracked.

Google Search Console
Wave Content does not use Google advertising services in combination with the Google analytics-cookies on her website.
Wave Content does use Google Search Console. This software does not use cookies; it crawles wavecontent.nl in search for errors or security issues. It also shows how the website is indexed (or shows up) in search engine results pages (SERP’s). This allows me to optimize content for SEO. In other words, to optimize for search terms used by my target audience.
Captcha
To reduce the amount of spam in my inbox, I placed a reCAPTCHA v3 underneath my forms. The use of reCAPTCHA v3 is aligned with Google’s privacy policy and terms.
Terms of Service for reCAPTCHA
I acknowledge and understand that the reCAPTCHA API works by collecting hardware and software information, such as device and app data, and sending that data to Google for analysis. The information collected about your use of the service is used to improve reCAPTCHA and for general security purposes. Google does not use the information for personalized advertising.
