1. Introduction
sebastianbuurma.nl is a small, mostly static website. It does not run a cookie-consent banner, because — at the time of writing — it does not place any analytics, marketing, or tracking cookies of its own. This Cookie Policy explains the only cookies that can appear when visiting the site: those set by the YouTube video and Spotify player embedded on the page.
2. What are cookies
Cookies are small text files that a website, or content embedded on it, can store in your browser. They can be used for things like remembering a video player's state, counting visits, or tracking you across different websites, depending on who places them and why.
3. Cookies currently used on sebastianbuurma.nl
sebastianbuurma.nl itself does not use any analytics, advertising, or tracking cookies, and there is no cookie-consent pop-up because none is currently needed for first-party cookies.
The website does embed a YouTube video and a Spotify player so visitors can watch or listen directly on the page. Loading these embeds can cause YouTube (Google) and Spotify to set their own cookies in your browser, under their own cookie and privacy policies — not Sebastian's. This happens as soon as the page loads the embed, not only if you click play.
4. Overview
| Service | Category | Purpose | More information |
|---|---|---|---|
| YouTube (Google) | Third-party / functional | Shows an embedded video on the site | Google's cookie information |
| Spotify | Third-party / functional | Shows an embedded audio player on the site | Spotify's cookie policy |
Sebastian does not control what these third parties do with the cookies they set; see their own policies for details.
5. Managing cookies in your browser
Most browsers let you view, block, or delete cookies through their settings (usually under "Privacy" or "Cookies"). Blocking third-party cookies may prevent the YouTube or Spotify embeds from working as intended, but the rest of the site will still work normally, since it doesn't depend on cookies.
6. Your rights and complaints
See the Privacy Policy for your rights regarding any personal data processed through cookies, and for how to reach Sebastian or the Dutch Data Protection Authority (Autoriteit Persoonsgegevens) with a question or complaint.
7. Future changes
If analytics, advertising, or other tracking tools are added to sebastianbuurma.nl in future, this policy will be updated and a cookie-consent banner will be added before those cookies are placed.
