Last updated: 15th March 2026
This Cookie Policy explains how BrightDelphinium B.V. uses cookies and similar technologies on our website to enhance your browsing experience and provide analytics insights.
What Are Cookies
Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device (computer, tablet, or mobile phone) when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently and provide information to website owners about user behaviour and preferences.
Cookies can be "session cookies" (which are deleted when you close your browser) or "persistent cookies" (which remain on your device for a longer period). They can also be "first-party cookies" (set by the website you're visiting) or "third-party cookies" (set by other websites or services).

We use cookies and similar technologies for several purposes:
- To ensure our website functions properly and securely
- To remember your preferences and settings
- To analyse website traffic and user behaviour
- To improve our website performance and user experience
- To deliver relevant content and advertisements
- To measure the effectiveness of our marketing campaigns

Google Consent Mode v2
We implement Google Consent Mode v2, which allows us to respect your cookie preferences while still providing analytics insights. When you adjust your cookie settings, our website communicates your preferences to Google services, ensuring they operate in compliance with your consent choices.
