How to control and delete cookies
Cookies are used to enable us to improve services for you through, for example:

Social Media
On the ICCO website you will find buttons that make it possible to promote web pages (Like) or share them (Tweet) on social networks such as Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIN. These buttons use pieces of code that also place cookies. We have no influence on this process. To find out what they do with the (personal) data that they process with these cookies, please read the privacy statements of these social networks (which can change regularly).
Third parties
Google Analytics
As part of its “Analytics” service, the United States company, Google, places cookies via our website. ICCO uses this service to monitor and receive reports on how visitors use the website. Google can only disclose this information to third parties if it is legally mandated to do so, or if these third parties process the information on behalf of Google. We have no influence on this. We have authorized Google to use the information obtained through Analytics for other Google services. The information that Google collates is made as anonymous as possible. We want to stress that your IP address is not provided. The information is sent to the United States, where Google stores it on servers. Google complies with the Safe Harbor principles and is affiliated with the Safe Harbor program of the US Department of Commerce. This implies that an adequate level of protection is afforded to the processing of personal data.

Cookies set by Third Party sites
To enrich our content, we sometimes embed photos and video content from websites such as YouTube and Flickr. As a result, when you visit a page with content embedded from, for example, YouTube or Flickr, these sites may set a cookie.
The ICCO website also carries embedded ‘share’ buttons to enable users of the site to easily share articles with their friends through a number of popular social networks, for example, Facebook, Twitter or Linked-In. These sites may set a cookie when you are also logged in to their service.
ICCO does not control the dissemination of these cookies and you should check the relevant third party website for more information about these.
