Cobie uses cookies and other technologies to enhance your experience on our website and platform. In this document we outline what cookies are, how we use them and other technologies and how you can manage your settings. At Cobie, we value transparency and your privacy, see also our Privacy Statement.


What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer by your browser, and can be used to store small pieces of information. This information is harmless to your computer but could potentially identify personal information about you to the sites you visit and third parties. Cookies placed by Cobie do not track personal information.


How do we use cookies?

We use cookies for three different purposes, as listed below.


Functional cookies

These cookies are required to give you a good browser experience. The following functional cookies are placed by cobie.video or app.cobie.video:

  • csrftoken this is a security measure used for our contact and application forms. It's a Cross Site Request Forgery prevention technique, for more information, see this Wikipedia article. This cookie does not track any personal information.

  • cookies this is where we store whether you’ve dismissed the cookie banner on app.cobie.video. The value is ‘yes’ when set. This cookie does not track any personal information.

  • sessionid this cookie contains a unique id that is set when you log in, to authenticate you. This id is removed when you log out and is only set when you log in. Expires after two weeks.

  • django_language keeps track of your preferred language. This is either 'en' (English) or 'nl' (Dutch)


Analytical cookies

These cookies are required to give us insight into how our site is used. We use Google Analytics for analytics. We have anonymised the way Google Analytics tracks the use of the website, so your personal details such as your IP address are not collected. The following cookies are placed by Google Analytics:

  • _ga* used to distinguish visitors.


Third-party cookies

These cookies are placed by third parties (for example Wix) and can be used as functional, analytical and tracking cookies by this third party. Tracking cookies can be used to track your visit across multiple domains. Such cookies are not placed if you do not accept them.


How to block cookies

There are several ways to block cookies and tracking in general:

  • Blocking cookies on our site: this can be done by not accepting cookies in our cookie notice. On our platform (app.cobie.video) cookies cannot be blocked, since they are all functional.

  • Blocking all (third-party) cookies: most browsers have the option to block all cookies or all third-party cookies. Please refer to your browser's help function for more information.

  • Privacy extension: if you value your privacy, many browsers allow you to install privacy extensions that block certain types of tracking cookies and scripts. Please refer to your browser to find out if and how those extensions can be installed, and take care to only install extensions from a reliable source.

  • Incognito or Private browsing modes: Most browsers provide an incognito or private browsing mode that will protect your privacy better than normal browsing. Please refer to your browser's help function for more information.

Please be aware that blocking cookies and scripts may result in a site that isn't fully functional or may cause other unexpected results.


How to remove cookies

Cookies will eventually expire. Our functional and analytical cookies are only used when visiting cobie.video or app.cobie.video so if you don't visit our site again they are never used.

Third-party cookies are placed outside of our control. If you want to remove all or some of the cookies placed when visiting our site, please refer to your browser's help section to find out how you can remove cookies.
