Cookies Policy

Last updated:

This Cookies Policy explains how Washrefine uses cookies and similar tracking technologies on the website washrefine.world in connection with our workplace wellness training products and services. By continuing to browse our site after seeing the cookie notice, you consent to the use of cookies as described below, except where your consent is required and not given.

1. What Are Cookies

Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites function efficiently, remember preferences, and provide information to site operators. Similar technologies include local storage, session storage, and pixel tags. This policy refers to all such technologies collectively as "cookies" unless otherwise specified.

2. Who Sets Cookies

Cookies on washrefine.world may be set by Washrefine (first-party cookies) or by third-party services we use to enhance website functionality (third-party cookies). Third-party cookies are governed by the respective provider's privacy and cookies policies.

3. Types of Cookies We Use

We use the following categories of cookies on our website:

3.1 Strictly Necessary Cookies

These cookies are essential for the operation of washrefine.world. They enable core functionality such as page navigation, secure access to forms, and remembering your cookie consent preference. Without these cookies, services you request, such as submitting a contact inquiry about our training programs, cannot be provided. These cookies do not require consent under the Dutch Telecommunications Act (Telecommunicatiewet) and the GDPR ePrivacy rules.

3.2 Functional Cookies

Functional cookies allow our website to remember choices you make, such as language preferences or region settings, to provide enhanced features. They may also be used to provide services you have requested, such as displaying embedded Google Maps on our contact page showing our Amsterdam training location at Middenweg 65A.

3.3 Analytics Cookies

We may use analytics cookies to understand how visitors interact with washrefine.world, including which training program pages are most viewed and how users navigate between sections. This information helps us improve our website content and the presentation of our Posture & Movement Basics, Nutrition Awareness Workshop, and Stress Recovery & Mindfulness Lab programs. Analytics data is collected in aggregated form where possible and does not directly identify individual users without additional information.

3.4 Marketing Cookies

Washrefine does not currently use marketing or advertising cookies on washrefine.world. We do not display third-party advertisements or track users across external websites for promotional purposes. If this practice changes in the future, we will update this policy and request your consent before deploying such cookies.

4. Cookie Duration

Cookies may be session cookies, which are deleted when you close your browser, or persistent cookies, which remain on your device for a defined period or until you delete them. The specific duration for each cookie is listed in Section 3 where applicable. We review cookie retention periods regularly and minimise storage duration in line with the purpose for which data is collected.

5. Legal Basis for Using Cookies

Under the GDPR and the Dutch Telecommunicatiewet, we process cookie data on the following bases:

You may withdraw consent for non-essential cookies at any time by clearing cookies in your browser settings or declining cookies when prompted by our consent popup.

6. Third-Party Cookies and External Content

Our website loads resources from third-party content delivery networks, including Google Fonts for typography and Font Awesome for icons. These services may set their own cookies or collect technical data. We also embed Google Maps on our contact page. We recommend reviewing the privacy policies of these providers:

Washrefine does not control third-party cookies and encourages you to manage them through your browser settings or the third party's opt-out tools where available.

7. How to Manage Cookies

You can control and manage cookies in several ways:

Please note that disabling strictly necessary cookies may affect website functionality, including the ability to submit contact forms or view embedded maps. Declining non-essential cookies will not prevent you from accessing information about our training programs.

8. Do Not Track Signals

Some browsers transmit "Do Not Track" (DNT) signals. There is currently no universally accepted standard for how websites should respond to DNT signals. Washrefine does not alter its data collection practices in response to DNT signals at this time, but we honour cookie consent choices made through our banner.

9. Updates to This Cookies Policy

We may update this Cookies Policy to reflect changes in technology, legal requirements, or our use of cookies in connection with workplace wellness training services. The updated policy will be posted on washrefine.world with a revised date. We encourage you to review this page periodically.
