Cookie Policy
Last Updated: March 18, 2026
This Cookie Policy explains how Welkoop Verolme Holding B.V. (“we”, “us”, or “our”) uses cookies and similar technologies on this website. It supplements our Privacy Policy, which describes how we handle personal data more broadly, including information submitted via our registration and contact forms.
Our website supports online professional education for learners throughout Canada. While our service area is Canada, Welkoop Verolme Holding B.V. is based in the Netherlands, and our registered address is Achterstrypseweg 15, 3235 NB Rockanje, Netherlands. If you have questions about this Cookie Policy, you can contact us at [email protected].
1) What cookies are
Cookies are small text files stored on your device (computer, phone, or tablet) when you visit a website. Cookies help websites remember information about your visit, such as session state and settings. Cookies can be set by the website you are visiting (“first-party cookies”) or by services embedded into the website (“third-party cookies”).
In addition to cookies, websites may use similar technologies such as pixel tags (sometimes called tracking pixels) and server-side event forwarding. These tools can record events such as page views or form submissions. On our site, analytics and marketing technologies are intended to operate only when you choose to allow them via our cookie preferences controls.
2) Cookie lifespan and origin
Cookies can be:
- Session cookies, which are deleted when you close your browser, or
- Persistent cookies, which remain for a set period or until you delete them.
Cookies can also be:
- First-party (set by this website), or
- Third-party (set by a provider whose tools are used on the site, such as analytics or advertising platforms).
3) Our cookie categories
We group cookies into three categories. The categories and behavior match the controls shown in our cookie banner and cookie preferences panel.
Essential cookies (always active)
Essential cookies are required for the website to function. They support basic operations such as session continuity and saving your cookie preference choice. These cookies do not require consent under applicable EU rules when they are strictly necessary for providing the service you request.
Analytics cookies (optional)
Analytics cookies help us understand how visitors use the site so we can improve navigation, course information pages, and registration journeys. When enabled, we may use Google Analytics 4 (GA4) configured to anonymize IP addresses where supported. Analytics cookies are disabled unless you explicitly opt in.
Analytics data is used in aggregate to understand trends such as which pages are visited, how long pages are viewed, and which links are used. It is not used to make decisions that have legal or similarly significant effects on individuals.
Marketing cookies (optional)
Marketing cookies are used for conversion measurement and relevant advertising, such as understanding which pages lead to registrations and helping prevent repetitive or irrelevant ads. When enabled, tools may include Google Ads conversion features and the Meta Pixel. Marketing cookies are disabled unless you explicitly opt in.
When marketing tools are enabled, they may create or use identifiers such as cookie IDs, and may allow advertising platforms to build audiences (including remarketing and lookalike audiences). We do not allow these tools unless you grant consent, and you can change your choice at any time.
4) Cookie table
The table below lists cookies that may be used on this website. Some third-party cookies will appear only if you opt in to the relevant category and the associated scripts are activated.

|---|---|---|---|---|
| _site_session | Site session continuity | Essential | First-party | Session |
| cookie_consent | Stores your consent choice | Essential | First-party | 12 months |

5) Third-party providers
If you opt in to analytics or marketing categories, third-party providers may set cookies or receive event data. Providers that may be used on this website include:
- Google LLC (Google Analytics 4, Google Ads, Google Tag Manager). Privacy information: https://policies.google.com/privacy
- Meta Platforms, Inc. (Meta Pixel, Custom/Lookalike Audiences, Conversion API when enabled). Privacy information: https://www.facebook.com/privacy/policy/
- Cloudflare (security and performance services, including IP-based threat detection). Privacy information: https://www.cloudflare.com/privacypolicy/
We do not permit these providers to use site data for their own independent commercial purposes. Their processing of data may involve international transfers depending on where the provider operates; details are described in our Privacy Policy.
6) How to manage your cookie preferences
You can manage optional cookies at any time:
- Use the “Manage cookie preferences” link in the footer to open the cookie banner and adjust settings.
- Use your browser settings to block or delete cookies. Instructions vary by browser, and blocking essential cookies may affect site functionality.
- Use third-party opt-out tools where applicable:
If you change your preferences to reject analytics or marketing cookies, we will stop using those categories and may delete associated cookies (for example, _ga and _fbp) where practical. You can also delete them manually in your browser.
7) Updates to this Cookie Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our site, learning platform tools, or legal requirements. When changes are material, we will post an updated version on this page and update the “Last Updated” date above.
