Websites employ helpful and useful techniques that increase usability and make the site as interesting as possible for every visitor. The most well-known examples of such techniques are cookies and scripts (hereinafter collectively referred to as "cookies"). Cookies can be used by website owners or by third parties – such as advertisers – who communicate through the website you are visiting.
The use of cookies is safe. No personal information, such as a phone number or email address, can be derived from cookies. Cookies therefore cannot be used for email and telemarketing campaigns.
We consider it of great importance that you know which cookies our websites use and for what purposes they are used.

The Dutch Public Broadcasting (NPO) places specific cookies to enhance the user experience for visitors. These cookies help with functionality and are intended to provide insight into the performance and effectiveness of the websites. This allows us to make the visited website as user-friendly and engaging as possible for the visitor. No data is collected that can be used to track individual users.

Cookies with which we can measure the use of the website
To determine which parts of the website are most interesting to our visitors, we continuously try to measure using the software of Piano Analytics, NPO GoVolte, and Matomo Analytics. It is part of the (legal) task of the Public Broadcasting Service to report on our performance. For this, it is necessary to keep web statistics. We also participate in the national internet reach survey DDMM. For this, we use tags that can set cookies.
Cookies set by Piano are NPO-specific and are not used to track NPO visitors outside of NPO sites. Cookies set by Matomo do not contain personal data.
From the information we collect in this way, statistics are made. These statistics give us insight into how often our web pages are visited, where visitors spend the most time, and so on. This allows us to make the structure, navigation, and content of the website as user-friendly as possible. We cannot trace the statistics and other reports back to individuals.
