With your consent where required, we use Google Analytics to understand website usage, such as which pages are visited and how visitors interact with the website.

Google Analytics is implemented through Google Tag Manager and is configured to respect applicable consent choices.

Marketing and advertising

With your consent where required, we may use Meta technologies, such as the Meta Pixel, to measure advertising performance and understand interactions with our website.

These technologies may involve the processing of information about your device, website interactions and online activity.


4. Cookies and similar technologies

Our website uses cookies and similar technologies. Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device when you visit our website.

Some cookies are necessary for the website to function and cannot be disabled through our cookie preferences.

Other technologies, such as analytics and advertising technologies, are used only where the applicable legal requirements for consent have been met.

Our website uses a cookie consent mechanism that allows you to choose which categories of non-essential cookies and similar technologies you accept.

These may include:

Necessary / functional technologies

These technologies are required to provide requested website functionality, such as forms, reservation functionality and basic website operation.

Analytics

With your consent, we may use Google Analytics to understand how visitors use our website and to improve our services.

Marketing

With your consent, we may use Meta/Facebook technologies to measure advertising campaigns and interactions with our website.

You can change or withdraw your cookie preferences through the cookie settings available on our website.


Where required by applicable law, analytics and marketing technologies—including Google Analytics, Meta Pixel and any analytics or marketing integrations provided through the Tebi reservation widget—are activated only after the visitor has provided the relevant consent through our cookie banner.

We use Google Analytics to collect statistical information about the use of our website.

Google Analytics may process information such as:

  • Device and browser information

  • Approximate location information

For more information about Google's processing of personal data, please refer to Google's own privacy documentation.

Where required, these technologies are activated only after you have provided the relevant consent through our cookie settings.

For more information about how Meta processes personal data, please consult Meta's privacy documentation.

We use Tebi to provide online reservation functionality through our website.

When you make a reservation through the Tebi reservation widget, information such as your name, contact details, reservation details, party size, date and time of booking, and any information you provide during the reservation process may be processed in order to manage and fulfil your reservation.

Where enabled, Tebi may also provide analytics and marketing measurement functionality.

Examples of reservation journey events may include:

  • Opening the reservation widget

  • Selecting a service

  • Choosing a date, time or party size

These analytics and marketing features are only used where the required consent has been obtained through our cookie consent mechanism.

Tebi provides these integrations and tracking capabilities through its reservation platform. Further information about Tebi's processing of personal data can be found in Tebi's own privacy documentation.


8. Formspark

We use Formspark to process forms submitted through our website.

Depending on the form, this may include:

  • Name

  • Email address

  • Telephone number

  • Message or enquiry

  • Other information you choose to provide

Formspark states that form submissions are processed on behalf of the website owner and that the website owner is responsible for determining the purposes and lawful basis for that processing.

Formspark may also process technical information associated with submissions, such as IP address, browser information and referring page, for purposes including spam prevention and service security.

We do not use our website forms to intentionally collect sensitive personal data unless explicitly stated otherwise.


9. Legal bases for processing

Depending on the circumstances, we process your personal data on one or more of the following legal bases under the GDPR:

Performance of a contract

Where processing is necessary to provide a service you have requested, such as managing a reservation.

Legitimate interests

Where processing is necessary for legitimate business purposes, such as operating, securing and improving our website and services, provided that these interests do not override your rights and freedoms.

Consent

Where consent is required by law, including for certain cookies, analytics and marketing technologies.

You can withdraw consent at any time. Withdrawal of consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing that took place before you withdrew it.

Legal obligation

Where we are required to process or retain information to comply with a legal obligation.


10. How long we keep your data

We retain personal data only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose for which it was collected, unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law.

  • Enquiry information may be retained for as long as necessary to handle and follow up on the enquiry.

  • Financial and business records may be retained for the period required by applicable Dutch law.

  • Cookie and analytics information is retained according to the settings and retention periods applicable to the relevant services.

Where third-party providers process information on our behalf, their own applicable retention periods may also apply.

These may include:

These providers may process personal data on our behalf or, depending on the service, act as independent controllers.

We may also disclose personal data where required by law, regulation, court order or a lawful request from a competent authority.


12. International data transfers

Some of the services we use may involve the processing of personal data outside the European Economic Area (EEA).

Where personal data is transferred outside the EEA, we rely on an appropriate legal mechanism under applicable data protection law, such as an adequacy decision or appropriate contractual safeguards, where required.

Third-party providers may have their own international data-transfer arrangements. We encourage you to consult their privacy information for further details.
