Last updated: 12 January 2026
This Cookies Policy explains how Geldwijs, Oudegracht 145, 3511 AL Utrecht, the Netherlands ("Geldwijs", "we", "us"), acting as the data controller, uses cookies and similar technologies on the website geldwijs.com. It should be read together with our Privacy Policy, which describes how we process personal data in general.
1. What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files that are stored on your computer, tablet or smartphone when you visit a website. They allow the website to recognise your device on a later visit, remember your preferences and collect information about how the site is used. We also use comparable technologies such as local storage and pixels, which are treated the same as cookies in this policy.
2. Legal basis and consent
Under the Dutch Telecommunicatiewet and the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), we may only place non-essential cookies after obtaining your freely given, specific and informed consent. When you first visit our website, a cookie banner lets you accept all cookies, reject all non-essential cookies, or save your own preferences per category. Essential cookies that are strictly necessary to provide the website's functionality do not require consent.
You can withdraw or change your consent at any time by clearing your browser cookies and reloading the website, which will show the cookie banner again, or by contacting us at [email protected]. Withdrawing consent is as easy as giving it and takes effect immediately.
3. Categories of cookies we use
3.1 Essential cookies (always active)
These cookies are strictly necessary for the website to function. They cannot be switched off in our systems and are placed on the basis of our legitimate interest in delivering a secure and functional website.

3.2 Analytics cookies (only with consent)
With your permission, we place analytical cookies to measure how visitors use our website, for example which pages are most viewed and how visitors arrive at our site. We use this information in aggregated, pseudonymised form to improve our content, courses and user experience. If your consent covers analytics, we configure the analytics tool so that IP addresses are anonymised and data is never used to identify you personally.
3.3 Marketing cookies (only with consent)
With your permission, marketing cookies help us measure the effectiveness of our campaigns and show relevant information about our courses and coaching to visitors who may be interested. If you reject marketing cookies, you will still see our content, but advertising may be less relevant to you.
4. Third-party cookies
Some cookies are placed by third parties whose services we use, such as analytics providers. These third parties may process data outside the European Economic Area. In such cases we ensure an adequate level of protection through appropriate safeguards such as the European Commission's standard contractual clauses. We never sell personal data collected through cookies.
5. Retention periods
The retention period of each cookie is listed in the table above. Cookie consent records are kept for a maximum of 12 months to demonstrate compliance. Aggregated analytics data is retained no longer than 25 months.
6. Managing cookies in your browser
In addition to our cookie banner, you can manage or delete cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to block all cookies, delete existing cookies and receive a warning before a cookie is placed. Please note that blocking essential cookies may cause parts of our website to malfunction.
