Cookie statement

In short

On socialnow.nl and in SocialNow OS we do not use behavioural tracking or session recordings. On socialnow.nl we count visits with Vercel Web Analytics and test two versions of the homepage; both work without cookies and store nothing in your browser. Functional storage remembers your sign-in and preferences. Feedback comes from personal contact.

What is a cookie, and what else counts

A cookie is a small text file a website places in your browser and can read again on a later visit. The same rules cover localStorage and sessionStorage: different techniques, the same question, namely whether something is placed on or read from your device.

That is why they are listed together below, with the technique named.

On socialnow.nl

Necessary, no consent required:

• sn-akkoord (localStorage, stays until you clear your browser storage): remembers that you have seen the welcome screen with the terms, per version of that text. A new version asks again.
• sn-koekje (localStorage, kept until you clear your browser storage): remembers that you closed the note with Milo about cookies, so it does not come back on every page.
• sn-taal (cookie on .socialnow.nl, one year): the language you chose, so the site and the OS are in the same language.
• sn-land (cookie on .socialnow.nl, one year): the country you chose, from which we derive the language and the right contact details.

There is no Google Analytics, no Meta pixel, no LinkedIn Insight Tag and no advertising cookie on socialnow.nl. Should that ever change, a consent request appears here first and this statement is updated before anything loads.

In SocialNow OS

Necessary, no consent required:

• the session cookie of your sign-in: keeps you signed in. Without it you cannot use the OS.
• preferences in localStorage: which tab you had open, which column you chose, a draft you have not sent. These stay in your browser and never reach us.
• the service worker and its cache: keeps the OS fast and lets it work on a patchy connection.

Third-party cookies we do not set ourselves

If you connect your own channels in the OS — Meta, Google, your social accounts — that runs through those parties' own sign-in screens. On such a screen their cookies and their statement apply. We have no influence there and set nothing of our own.

If a website we build for you does carry a pixel or an analytics script, you are the controller for it and that website needs its own cookie statement and its own consent request. We help you set that up; the choice to place such a script is yours.

Switching off in your browser

Besides our own control, you can always block or delete cookies in your browser. In Chrome, Safari, Firefox and Edge this sits under settings, privacy. If you block everything, signing in to the OS no longer works, because it relies on the session cookie.

We treat a Do Not Track or Global Privacy Control signal from your browser as a no to the question about measurement.

Questions

If something in this list is wrong, or you see something in your browser that by our own account should not be there: privacy@socialnow.nl. We want to know, because a cookie statement that is wrong is worse than none.
