This cookie statement applies to hiveminds.nl and lens.hiveminds.nl. Cookies are small files stored by your browser; similar techniques such as localStorage are covered by this statement as well. Below is what each domain actually places.
On hiveminds.nl
On hiveminds.nl we use statistics cookies from Google Analytics. We only place them after you have given consent via the cookie bar. We do not use marketing cookies.

Changing your choice
You give or refuse consent for statistics cookies via the cookie bar on hiveminds.nl. You can withdraw earlier consent with the button at the bottom of the cookie statement on hiveminds.nl; we then remove your choice and no longer load Google Analytics.
Deleting cookies in your browser
You can always delete cookies and localStorage yourself in your browser settings, usually under privacy or site data. After deleting, hiveminds.nl asks for your choice again.
