Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device (computer, tablet or smartphone) when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently and to provide information to the website owner.

Cookies can be "session cookies" (deleted when you close your browser) or "persistent cookies" (stored on your device for a set period or until you delete them). They can be set by us ("first-party cookies") or by third-party services we use ("third-party cookies").

We use the following categories of cookies:

— Strictly necessary cookies: these are essential for the website to function and cannot be disabled. They include cookies for authentication session management, security and remembering your cookie preferences. No consent is required for these cookies.

— Analytics cookies: these help us understand how visitors interact with our website by collecting anonymised data on pages visited, time spent and navigation paths. We use Google Analytics for this purpose. These cookies are only set with your consent.

— Preference cookies: these remember your settings and preferences to improve your experience. These cookies are only set with your consent.

We do not use advertising or tracking cookies for marketing purposes.

— authjs.session-token (AI CentralHub): session/persistent, 30 days. Keeps you logged in to your AI CentralHub account. This is a strictly necessary cookie set by NextAuth.js when you sign in.

— __Secure-authjs.session-token (AI CentralHub): persistent, 30 days. Secure version of the session cookie used in production over HTTPS. Strictly necessary.

Under the GDPR and the Dutch Telecommunications Act (Telecommunicatiewet), we are required to obtain your consent before placing non-essential cookies on your device.

Strictly necessary cookies (including authentication session cookies) do not require consent as they are essential for the website to function and to keep you securely logged in.

For all other cookies (analytics, preferences), we rely on your explicit consent, which you provide via our cookie banner when you first visit our website.

You can manage your cookie preferences in the following ways:

— Cookie banner: when you first visit our website, you will be presented with a cookie banner where you can accept or decline non-essential cookies.

— Browser settings: most browsers allow you to control cookies through their settings. You can set your browser to refuse cookies, delete existing cookies or alert you when cookies are being sent. Please note that disabling strictly necessary cookies (such as the session cookie) will prevent you from staying logged in.

— Google Analytics opt-out: you can opt out of Google Analytics tracking by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on available at tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.

Please note that withdrawing your consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing based on consent before its withdrawal.

Some cookies on our website are set by third-party services. These include:

— Google Analytics (Google LLC): analytics cookies to help us understand website usage. Google's privacy policy is available at policies.google.com/privacy.

We do not control third-party cookies and they are subject to the respective third party's privacy and cookies policies.

Under the GDPR, you have the right to withdraw your consent to non-essential cookies at any time. This will not affect the lawfulness of processing that took place before withdrawal.

You also have the right to access, rectify or request deletion of personal data collected through cookies. To exercise these rights, please contact us at info@ai-centralhub.com.

You have the right to lodge a complaint with the Dutch Data Protection Authority (Autoriteit Persoonsgegevens) at autoriteitpersoonsgegevens.nl.

We may update this Cookies Policy from time to time to reflect changes in technology, legislation or our data practices. When we make significant changes, we will update the "last updated" date at the top of this page.

We encourage you to review this policy periodically to stay informed about how we use cookies.
