What are cookies and similar technologies?
A cookie is a small text file that is recorded on or read from your equipment, for example in the browser of your computer, tablet or smartphone, when you visit a site. Data – some of which can be personal – is stored or accessed in this file, and permits the website to recognise you during a later visit.

A system can collect information thanks to JavaScripts, save it in small, simple text files thanks to cookies, and transmit it via web beacons. A software development kit (SDK) is another example of this type of technology: it allows apps to collect and store information on a smartphone or tablet and send that information to Amsterdam Yacht Service. We collectively refer to all these technologies as cookies and similar technologies (below simply ‘cookies’ for short).
