Cookie policy: clarity about what we collect
When you visit a website, data is automatically stored to make the site work properly. In this cookie policy you can read what cookies are, which types exist, how to manage your preferences and where to go with questions about your data on www.top.nl.
In short
Cookies are small files stored on your device when you visit a website. They fall roughly into three categories: functional cookies (needed to make the site work), analytical cookies (for statistics) and marketing cookies (for advertising and tracking). Via the cookie banner of top.nl you decide which categories you allow. The controller for the processing is Trans Ocean Pacific forwarding B.V.; this cookie policy belongs with the privacy policy.
Why a cookie policy exists at all
A cookie policy shows you exactly what is collected and why. It provides transparency and prevents you from being surprised by hidden tracking or unclear data use. Without a clear policy, you never know who is watching or what exactly is being stored.
This is not optional either: under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the Dutch Telecommunications Act, websites must clearly explain which cookies are active and ask prior consent for non-essential cookies. Thanks to a cookie policy, you know exactly which data is stored and you can choose what you do and do not share.
Which types of cookies are there?
A good cookie policy tells you which cookies are necessary, which are used for statistics and which for marketing. That way you can decide for yourself what you share — you stay in control of your data.
What do they do?These cookies are needed to make the website work properly: think of remembering your language choice, logging in to a customer portal or storing your cookie preferences themselves.
Consent required?No — strictly necessary cookies may be set without prior consent.
What do they do?These cookies collect statistics about the use of the website: which pages are visited, for how long and via which route. This helps improve the website.
Consent required?Depends on the set-up: privacy-friendly statistics can run without consent; full analytics requires consent via the banner.
What do they do?These cookies follow your browsing behaviour, including across websites, to tailor advertisements and content to your interests.
Consent required?Yes — marketing cookies may only be set after you have given consent via the cookie banner.
Cookies on top.nl
The website top.nl runs on the HubSpot platform and uses Google Tag Manager to manage scripts and statistics. When the website loads, cookies from these services may therefore be set, depending on the preferences you have indicated in the cookie banner.
In addition, our privacy policy describes cookies that belong to specific functions: comments may store cookies with your name, email address and website for future convenience (valid for one year), and temporary cookies and stored login information are used when logging in.
You can adjust your cookie preferences at any time via the cookie banner of the website. Consent given earlier can also be withdrawn there.
What it gives you as a user
With a clear cookie policy you know that your data is handled properly and safely. You get a grip on your privacy, clarity about settings and insight into how your information is used. It allows you to be active online with confidence — no hassle, no surprises.
If you want to know which rights you have regarding your personal data — such as access, correction or deletion — see our privacy policy. If you disagree with how your data is handled, you can also always lodge a complaint with the Dutch Data Protection Authority. For questions, reach us at top@top.nl or +31 10 2831900.
