Cookies

On the Tax Administration website we use cookies to make the website more user friendly and to analyse site visits. The cookies we use do not record any personal data.

What are cookies?

Many of the websites you view place small text files in the memory of your computer, phone or tablet. This allows these websites to recognise you during your visit and any later visits. We call these files 'cookies'.

What do cookies do?

There are 3 types of cookies.

  1. Essential cookies
    Certain cookies are needed to remember settings or preferences during a visit to the website or a later visit. Suppose you decide you do not want to receive any cookies from a certain website. That website can 'remember' this by placing a cookie. Without cookies, you will be asked the same questions every time you visit.
  2. Website usage analysis cookies
    These cookies tell the website which pages you view, in what order, and for how long. This makes it possible to collect web statistics that tailor the website closer to the visitors' needs. Similar cookies are used to conduct online surveys, for example.
  3. Cookies from third-party websites
    Certain parts of a website place cookies on the websites of other organisations. This includes extras such as a YouTube clip, the option to share something on social media, or an interactive Google map. If you use these extras, the website of that other organisation may place cookies on your tablet, computer or phone. We have no influence over what these parties do with their cookies.

Our cookies do not record any personal data

According to the cookie clause in the Dutch Telecommunications Act (the 'Cookie Act'), a website must inform visitors about cookies and ask for consent to place them. The law makes an exception for cookies that are not privacy sensitive. The cookies we use at belastingdienst.nl are type 2 cookies only, which are cookies for analysing website use. We ensure that the data stored by these cookies cannot be traced back to personal data. We do this by our web statistics programmes which either delete every IP address completely or anonymize it to an adequate extent. The recorded data can in no way be traced back to a person. With these measures we also comply with the rules of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).

We collect the following data in our web statistics programs:
