Our use of cookies
Cookies are text files containing small amounts of information which is downloaded to your hard disk or to your browser's memory when you visit our website. Cookies are useful because they help arrange the content and layout of our website and allow us to recognize those computers or other devices that have been to our website before. Cookies do many different jobs, such as allowing our website to remember your preference settings and helping us to enhance the usability and performance of our website and your experience using them.
Cookie categories
The type of cookie that may be used on our website can be put into 1 of 4 categories: Strictly Necessary, Performance, Functionality & Profile and Advertising.
1. Strictly Necessary Cookies
These cookies are essential, as they enable you to move around our website and use their features, particularly in connection with information searches and order placement. Without these cookies, services you have asked for cannot be provided. These cookies do not gather information about you that could be used for marketing or remembering where you have been on the internet. An example of a strictly necessary cookie is a “shopping basket cookie,” which is used to remember the products that you wish to purchase when you add products to your shopping basket or proceed to checkout.
2. Performance Cookies
These cookies collect information about how you use our website, for example which pages you go to most often and if you get any error messages from certain pages. These cookies collect only anonymous information that is used to improve how our website work. These cookies are not used to target you with online advertising. Without these cookies we cannot learn how our website are performing and make relevant improvements that could better your browsing experience.

3. Functionality & Profile Cookies
These cookies allow our website to store information that you provide such as your site language preferences and to store technical information useful for your interactions with our website. For instance, they remember your user ID and elements of your user profile. They also ensure that your experience using our website and JD Techniek marketing efforts are relevant to you. They may also be used to provide services you have asked for such as watching a video or commenting on a blog. The information these cookies collect may be anonymous and they cannot track your browsing activity on other websites.
Without these cookies, a website cannot remember choices you have previously made or personalize your browsing experience. For example, we use a cookie to store your language preferences, which allows us to present you with product search results in the correct language.
4. Advertising Cookies
These cookies may be used to deliver advertisements that are more relevant to you and your interests. They may also be used to limit the times you see an advertisement as well as help to measure the effectiveness of the advertising campaign. Although these cookies may track your visits to other websites, they do not usually know who you are. Without these cookies, online advertisements you encounter will be less relevant to you and your interests.
Setting your cookie preference

Most internet browsers automatically accept cookies, but you can usually modify your browser settings to decline cookies or to notify you when a cookie is being placed on your computer. For instructions on how this can be set we refer to the help function of your internet browser. If you choose to decline cookies, you may not be able to fully experience the features of our website or other websites that you visit.

Our use of web analytics
JD Techniek uses industry standard web analytics to track visits to our website. These analytics are provided by Google Analytics. The information generated by the cookie about your use of our website (including your IP address) will be transmitted to and stored by Google on servers in the United States. Google will use this information for the purpose of evaluating your use of our website, compiling reports on website activity for website operators and providing other services relating to website activity and internet usage. Google may also transfer this information to third parties where required to do so by law, or where such third parties process the information on Google’s behalf. Google will not associate your IP address with any other data held by Google. You may opt out of web analytics by installing these tools on your computer.
Do-Not-Track Signals and Similar Mechanisms
Some web browsers may transmit “do-not-track” signals to the sites with which the user communicates. Because of differences in how web browsers incorporate and activate this feature, it is not always clear whether users intend for these signals to be transmitted, or whether they even are aware of them. There currently is disagreement, including among participants in the leading internet standards-setting organization, concerning what, if anything, websites should do when they receive such signals. JD Techniek currently does not take action in response to these signals. If and when a final standard is established and accepted, JD Techniek will reassess how to respond to these signals.
