This Cookie Policy supplements our Privacy Policy, which describes how Carton Bottles B.V. ("we," "us," "our") handles personal data more broadly. This policy explains specifically what cookies and similar tracking technologies we use on the website brolvatek.site, why we use them, and how you can control them.
What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that websites place on your device (computer, tablet, or smartphone) when you visit them. They are widely used to make websites work efficiently, to remember your preferences, and to provide information to the site operator about how visitors use the website.
Beyond traditional cookies, websites may also use pixel tags (small invisible images embedded in pages or emails), server-side tracking mechanisms, and JavaScript-based identifiers to collect usage data. Where we refer to "cookies" in this policy, we include these related technologies unless the context requires otherwise.
Types of Cookies by Lifespan
- Session cookies are temporary. They are deleted from your device when you close your browser. They allow the website to link your actions during a single browsing session.
- Persistent cookies remain on your device for a defined period (ranging from days to years) or until you manually delete them. They allow the website to recognise you on subsequent visits.
Types of Cookies by Origin
- First-party cookies are set directly by the website you are visiting (in this case, brolvatek.site). They are used for core functionality and to remember your preferences.
- Third-party cookies are set by external services that operate on or through the website, such as analytics or advertising platforms. These cookies can track your activity across different websites.
Cookie Categories We Use
We organise cookies into three categories. These categories are consistent with those described in our Privacy Policy.
1. Essential Cookies
These cookies are strictly necessary for the website to function. They enable core features such as session management and remembering your cookie consent choice. Because they are essential, they do not require your consent and are always active when you visit the site. Without these cookies, the website cannot operate properly.
2. Analytics Cookies
Analytics cookies help us understand how visitors interact with the website — which pages are visited most frequently, how long visitors spend on a page, and whether visitors encounter error messages. This information is aggregated and used solely to improve the website's content and structure. We configure our analytics to anonymise IP addresses in compliance with GDPR requirements. Analytics cookies are activated only after you provide explicit consent. Data retention for analytics is set to 14 months.
3. Marketing Cookies
Marketing cookies are used for remarketing, conversion attribution, and building custom or lookalike audiences for advertising campaigns. These cookies track certain actions you take on the website and may be used by advertising platforms to show you relevant advertisements on other websites. Marketing cookies are activated only after you provide explicit consent.

The following table lists the specific cookies that may be placed on your device when you visit brolvatek.site.

We do not permit these providers to use data collected through our website for their own independent commercial purposes beyond the services they provide to us.
Your Consent and Choices
When you first visit our website, a cookie consent banner appears. You may choose to accept all cookies, reject non-essential cookies, or manage your preferences by category. Your choice is recorded in the cookie_consent cookie and applies for 12 months unless you change it sooner.
You can change your cookie preferences at any time by clicking the "Manage cookie preferences" link in the footer of any page on our website. This will re-display the consent options, allowing you to update your choices.
Browser-Level Controls
Most web browsers allow you to manage cookies through their settings. You can typically find these controls in the "Settings," "Preferences," or "Privacy" section of your browser. You can configure your browser to block all cookies, block third-party cookies only, or delete cookies when you close the browser. Be aware that blocking essential cookies may prevent the website from functioning correctly.
Opt-Out Tools
In addition to our on-site consent controls and your browser settings, the following tools allow you to opt out of specific tracking services:
- Google Analytics Opt-Out: Install the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on at tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.
- Google Ads Settings: Manage your ad personalisation preferences at adssettings.google.com.
- Meta Ad Preferences: Manage how Meta uses data for advertising at facebook.com/adpreferences.
- European Interactive Digital Advertising Alliance: Manage interest-based advertising preferences at youronlinechoices.eu.
Legal Basis
Strictly necessary cookies (essential cookies) are placed under Article 6(1)(f) of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) — legitimate interest — as they are required for the website to function and to honour your cookie preferences. This is also permitted under Article 11.7a of the Dutch Telecommunications Act (Telecommunicatiewet), which exempts cookies that are technically necessary from the consent requirement.
All other cookies — including analytics and marketing cookies — require your prior, explicit, informed, and freely given consent under Article 6(1)(a) of the GDPR and Article 11.7a of the Telecommunicatiewet. These cookies are not activated until you provide consent through our cookie consent mechanism. You may withdraw your consent at any time by updating your preferences, and withdrawal does not affect the lawfulness of processing that occurred before withdrawal.
Changes to This Cookie Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in the cookies we use, changes in applicable law, or improvements to our practices. Material changes will be announced via a notice on the website at least 14 days before taking effect. The "Last Updated" date at the top of this page indicates the most recent revision. We encourage you to review this policy periodically.
