These cookies are necessary for the basic operation of the website and cannot be disabled. Without them the website will not function correctly.

Lawful basis: GDPR Art. 6(1)(b) and ePrivacy Directive Art. 5(3) — consent is not required for cookies that are strictly necessary for the service requested.

1.3 Analytics Cookies (Consent Required — Future)

We plan to implement privacy-friendly analytics tools such as Plausible Analytics or Cloudflare Web Analytics. These tools collect aggregated data about visitor numbers and popular pages, but do not store personally identifiable information and do not set persistent tracking cookies.

Cookie / Technology	Purpose	Retention
Plausible / Cloudflare Analytics (future)	Aggregated website statistics (page views, device type, country — no IP storage).	No persistent cookie; daily hash

This section will be updated once analytics tools are activated.

1.4 Marketing Cookies (Consent Required — Future)

In the future we may include affiliate links from partners such as Bol.com and Amazon. When you click such a link, the affiliate partner may set a cookie to record the click and any resulting purchase and to pay us a commission.

Cookie	Purpose	Retention
Bol.com affiliate cookie (future)	Associates your click on a Bol.com link with a potential purchase.	30 days (Bol.com guidelines)
Amazon affiliate cookie (future)	Associates your click on an Amazon link with a potential purchase.	24 hours (Amazon guidelines)

We do not currently set any marketing cookies. This section will be updated before marketing cookies are activated.

2. Third-Party Cookies

k1.nl currently sets only the cookies listed above itself. We do not set cookies from advertising networks or social media platforms. When future affiliate partners set their own cookies (see 1.4), those cookies are governed by those partners' own privacy policies.
