Introduction
When you visit or access our website(s), or when you interact or engage with our content ("Service"), Tunnl BV and our approved partners will use (and authorize third parties to use) web beacons, cookies, pixel tags, scripts, tags, API and other technologies ("Tracking Technologies"). This is explained in this policy ("Cookie Policy") which is a part of our Privacy Policy.
This Cookie & Device Storage Policy explains what these technologies are, why we use them, and how you can manage your preferences. It forms part of our Privacy Policy.
Tunnl BV adheres to the principles of the IAB Europe Transparency & Consent Framework (TCF v2.2) and respects consent signals received from our partners’ Consent Management Platforms (CMPs).

Our Vendor ID will be published here once registration is complete.
What are cookies & tracking technologies?
Cookies are small text files (composed only of letters and numbers) that a web server places on your computer or mobile device when you visit a webpage. When used, the cookie can help make our Services more user-friendly, for example by remembering your language preferences and settings. You can find more information about cookies at www.allaboutcookies.org
Cookies are widely used in order to make websites work in an efficient way. The use of cookies allows you to navigate between pages efficiently. Cookies remember your preferences, and make the interaction between you and the Services smoother and more efficient. Some cookies are set directly by Tunnl (“first-party”), while others are set by third-party partners such as analytics, measurement, or advertising providers (“third-party”).
The Tracking Technologies allow us to automatically collect information about you and your online behavior in order to enhance your navigation on our Service, improve our Service performance and customize your experience on our Service. We also use this information to collect statistics about the usage of our Service, perform analytics, deliver content which is tailored to your interests and administer services to our Users, advertisers, publishers, customers and partners. We also allow third parties to collect information about you through Tracking Technologies.
Storing Tracking Technologies
We store Tracking Technologies when you visit or access our Services (typically, when you are visiting our websites) – these are called "First Party Tracking Technologies". In addition, Tracking Technologies are stored by other third parties (for example our analytics service providers, business partners and advertisers) who run content on our Services – these are called "Third Party Tracking Technologies".
Both types of Tracking Technologies may be stored either for the duration of your visit on our Services or for repeat visits.

Legal basis: Legitimate interest.
Functionality Tracking Technologies – These Tracking Technologies allow our Services to remember choices you make (such as your language) and provide enhanced and personalized features. For example, these Tracking Technologies are used for authentication (to remember when you are logged-in) and support other features of our Services.
