What Friesland Holland Travel’s cookie policy covers

Friesland Holland Travel uses two categories of cookies:

• Functional cookies (strictly necessary): Enable core website functions so the site works properly.
• Analytics cookies: Help understand site usage to improve content and usability over time.

You can disable or delete cookies in your browser. Keep in mind that doing so can reduce the site’s functionality, including the ability to remain logged in between visits.

What each cookie type does (and why it matters)

Functional cookies

Functional cookies are essential for the website to operate. In practice, these cookies typically:

• Keep you logged in as you move between pages.
• Support core navigation and basic features.
• Help deliver pages reliably and securely.

Turning off or clearing functional cookies may disrupt these basics. The most noticeable effect is that you may not stay logged in, and certain features may not behave as expected.

Analytics cookies

Analytics cookies collect aggregated, non-sensitive information about how visitors use the site (for example, which pages are viewed and in what order). This helps improve navigation, content clarity, and overall experience.

Important context about your data on our site:

• Friesland Holland Travel complies with the GDPR.
• The company does not request or store financial data via website forms. If such information is submitted voluntarily, it is not used for any purpose.
• You can request a copy of your personal information by emailing info@frieslandholland.nl or writing to: Friesland Holland Travel, Foarstrjitte 6, 9151 HE Holwert, Netherlands.
