Cookie Policy

This Cookie Policy explains how Canal Vertex Guitar Studio (legal entity: CVP Beheer B.V.) uses cookies and similar technologies on this website. It supplements our Privacy Policy, which describes how we handle personal data more broadly.

Our studio is based in Zwolle, Netherlands (Hoogstraat 91, 8011 AV Zwolle, Netherlands). The website supports lesson requests for in-person sessions in Zwolle and online options across the Netherlands. Cookies help the site function reliably, remember your preferences, and (if you choose) help us measure performance and improve how visitors find the information they need.

You can manage your cookie preferences at any time by selecting “Manage cookie preferences” in the footer. If you clear your browser cookies, you may be asked to make the choice again because your consent record is stored in your browser.

Cookies are small text files placed on your device (computer, phone, or tablet) when you visit a website. They can be first-party (set by this site) or third-party (set by a provider whose tools are used on the site).

In addition to cookies, some technologies behave similarly:

• Pixel tags (also called web beacons) that send information about page views and events to a provider.
• Local storage or similar browser storage used to keep preference data.
• Server-side event processing that records conversions and performance signals on our servers and then shares limited information with an advertising partner, where applicable and only when permitted by your choices.

This website is designed so that analytics and marketing technologies activate only after consent, where required in the Netherlands and the wider EEA.

Cookies can be described in several ways:

• Session cookies are temporary and are deleted when you close your browser. They help with site continuity and basic operations.
• Persistent cookies remain for a set period or until you delete them. They are used to remember preferences or maintain identifiers for analytics/advertising when consent is provided.
• First-party cookies are set by canalvertex.nl (or by the site infrastructure directly under our control).
• Third-party cookies are set by external providers (for example, analytics or advertising platforms) and are governed in part by those providers’ policies.

The exact cookie names and retention periods can vary by browser and provider updates. The table below lists the standard cookies commonly used by the categories we support.

We group cookies into the following categories. These categories are also shown in our cookie banner and cookie preferences panel.

A) Essential cookies (always active)

Essential cookies are required for the site to function properly. They support core features such as session continuity, basic security, and remembering whether you have already made a cookie choice. Because they are necessary for the site to work, they do not require consent.

• Maintaining the continuity of your visit (for example, when navigating between pages).
• Remembering your cookie preference choices.
• Supporting security features, such as protecting the contact form from abuse.

B) Analytics cookies (consent required)

Analytics cookies help us understand how visitors use the site so we can improve lesson information, page structure, and content clarity. When enabled, analytics may collect information such as pages visited, approximate location (derived from IP at a coarse level), and interactions (for example, clicking a navigation item or reaching the contact form). We configure analytics to minimize data where possible (for example, IP anonymization when supported).

We use analytics data to answer practical questions, such as which lesson pages are read most often in the Netherlands and whether visitors can find pricing and contact details without friction.

C) Marketing cookies (consent required)

Marketing cookies are used to measure advertising performance and to show relevant offers. If enabled, they help us understand which campaigns lead to actions such as a contact form submission and allow us to create remarketing audiences or similar groups. They may also support conversion attribution (for example, attributing a lesson request to a prior ad click).

Marketing cookies are not required to use the site. If you reject them, you can still browse and request lessons; it simply reduces our ability to measure and improve advertising efficiently.

The following table lists the main cookies associated with our categories. Some cookies may only be present if you have provided consent for analytics and/or marketing cookies.

Note: The presence of analytics or marketing cookies depends on your consent. If you reject non-essential cookies, only essential cookies will be used.

When you first visit the site, you will see a cookie banner that allows you to accept all cookies, reject non-essential cookies, or manage preferences. Essential cookies are always on because they are required for the site to function.

Your choice is stored in the cookie_consent cookie. You can change your choice at any time by selecting “Manage cookie preferences” in the footer.

If you withdraw consent, this will not affect processing that took place before the withdrawal. It will only change what happens going forward in your browser.

Depending on your preferences, we may use the following categories of providers:

• Google LLC for Google Analytics 4 and Google Ads measurement and remarketing (when enabled).
• Meta Platforms for advertising measurement, remarketing, and conversion attribution (when enabled).
• Cloudflare for content delivery and security controls that can involve IP-based threat detection.

We do not permit these providers to use site data for their own independent commercial purposes. Each provider processes data under its own terms and policies, and where required we rely on consent for analytics and marketing.

You have several ways to control cookies:

• Site preferences: use “Manage cookie preferences” in the footer to adjust analytics and marketing cookies.
• Browser settings: most browsers allow you to block or delete cookies. If you block all cookies, some parts of the site may not work as expected.
• Deleting cookies: deleting cookies removes your saved preferences and you may be prompted again on your next visit.

Industry opt-out tools (provider-operated) may also be available:

• Google Analytics opt-out: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout
• Google Ads settings: https://adssettings.google.com
• Meta ad preferences: https://www.facebook.com/adpreferences
• Your Online Choices (EU): https://www.youronlinechoices.eu

These tools are provided by third parties and may change over time. Using them does not replace the cookie preferences control on this site; it simply provides additional controls on the provider side.

We may update this Cookie Policy to reflect changes in technology, legal requirements in the Netherlands and the EEA, or changes to the tools used on the site. When updates are made, we will revise the “Last Updated” date at the top of this page.
