Cookie Policy

This Cookie Policy explains how N&D B.V. (“we”, “us”, “our”) uses cookies and similar technologies on this website. It also explains the choices you have to manage cookies. This Cookie Policy supplements our Privacy Policy, which describes how we handle personal data more broadly.

Our website supports online workplace education for learners across Canada. Cookies help the site function reliably, remember your preferences, and (if you choose) help us measure site performance and understand which pages are helpful.

1. What are cookies and similar technologies?

Cookies are small text files stored on your device (computer, tablet, or phone) when you visit a website. They allow the website to recognise your browser, store preferences, and support core features such as form handling and security.

We also refer to “similar technologies”, which can include pixel tags and server-side event signals. Pixel tags are small snippets that can send limited information (such as a page view) to a provider. Server-side tracking may transmit event data from our server rather than directly from the browser. Any analytics or marketing technologies are only activated if you provide consent through our cookie preferences.

2. Cookie lifespan and origin

Cookies are commonly described by how long they last and who sets them:

• Session cookies are temporary and expire when you close your browser.
• Persistent cookies remain for a set period, or until deleted.
• First-party cookies are set by our website domain.
• Third-party cookies are set by external providers (for example, analytics or advertising platforms) when enabled by your preferences.

3. Cookie categories we use

We group cookies into three categories. These categories match the controls in our cookie banner and cookie preferences panel.

A. Essential cookies (always active)

Essential cookies are required for the website to function and to provide core security features. They include cookies that keep the site stable during a visit, remember your cookie choices, and support protection against abuse.

These cookies do not require consent and are used based on our legitimate interest in operating a secure, functional website.

B. Analytics cookies (consent required)

Analytics cookies help us understand how visitors use the site so we can improve navigation, page clarity, and content quality. When enabled, we may use Google Analytics 4 (GA4) with IP anonymisation and a typical data retention of 14 months.

Analytics cookies are only activated after you choose “Accept All” or enable Analytics in the cookie preferences panel.

C. Marketing cookies (consent required)

Marketing cookies support advertising measurement and relevant ad delivery. When enabled, they may be used for conversion attribution, remarketing audiences, and performance reporting for advertising platforms such as Google Ads and Meta. These cookies are only activated after you choose “Accept All” or enable Marketing in the cookie preferences panel.

Marketing cookies are not required to browse the site. You can use the website even if you reject non-essential cookies.

4. Cookie table

The table below lists the main cookies associated with the categories described above. Not every cookie will be present on every visit; it depends on your settings and whether analytics/marketing tooling has been enabled.

Note: Some cookie names (such as _ga_XXXXXXXXXX) include a property-specific identifier and may appear with a different suffix in your browser storage.

5. Third-party providers

If you enable analytics and/or marketing cookies, cookie data may be processed by third-party providers. Common providers include:

• Google LLC (Google Analytics 4, Google Ads, and related measurement tools)
• Meta Platforms (Meta Pixel and related measurement tools)
• Cloudflare (performance and security services that may process IP-based security signals)

We do not permit these providers to use site data for their own independent commercial purposes. Their processing is limited to providing services to us, subject to their contractual terms and privacy documentation.

6. Managing your cookie preferences

You can manage cookies in several ways:

• Cookie preferences panel: Use the “Manage cookie preferences” link in the footer to open the cookie banner and adjust settings.
• Browser controls: Most browsers allow you to delete cookies and block future cookies. If you block essential cookies, parts of the site may not function properly.
• Provider opt-outs: Where relevant, you can also use provider tools to manage interest-based advertising and measurement.

Helpful external resources include:

• Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on
• Google Ads Settings
• Meta Ad Preferences
• Your Online Choices (EU)

7. Updates to this Cookie Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy to reflect changes in our use of cookies, changes in technology, or changes in legal requirements. When we make changes, we will update the “Last Updated” date at the top of this page.
