Functional cookies
We always place functional cookies, and they are necessary for the website to work properly. These cookies have little impact on your privacy and are used anonymously. This allows us to provide our online services. For example, they ensure that you can stay logged in to the website when you want to.
Non-functional cookies
In addition to functional cookies, we also place analytical cookies by default. These are non-functional cookies because they are not necessary for the website to work properly.
Only when you agree to the placement of cookies do we also place several other non-functional cookies. These have different purposes and help us improve our services. For example, we use cookies to show online surveys on our website, to test improvements to our website, to show social media buttons, or to show relevant advertisements for our services on other websites.
Analytical cookies
With analytical cookies, we can measure website visits. For example, how often our site is visited and which information visitors look for. This shows us which parts of the site are popular and how we can improve our website. The statistics we collect cannot be traced back to individuals. These data are anonymised after collection.
Adobe Target
We want to know whether changes we make to the website are improvements. We use Adobe Target for this. With this tool, we carry out improvements in an A/B test. Visitors then see an adjusted version of the website at the same time. Cookies ensure that visitors see the correct version of a page and measure the results. In this way, we continuously optimize the website.
Google Analytics
With Google Analytics, we can better understand the data. We always place analytical cookies when you visit our website.
With analytical cookies, we collect, among other things, the following data:
- The number of visitors to our web pages.
- How long a visitor stays on our site.
- What visitors search for.
- Which version of the website should be shown in A/B tests.
- Data about your browser and the device you use to visit our website, such as the operating system and screen size.
- How you arrived at our website, for example, was because you clicked on one of our ads or a link in an email.
- Anonymous data you enter in a form, such as the type of car or type of coverage.
- Products you have purchased or added to the shopping cart in our webshop.
- The speed of our website so we can measure your browser performance. This helps us detect and solve possible performance problems in time.
Privacy
Adobe and Google collect your IP address with analytical cookies, but it is anonymised immediately. For more information about what Adobe and Google do with the collected data, read Adobe’s privacy statement and Google’s privacy statement. These statements can change regularly.
In our privacy statement, you can read how we handle personal data.
Advertising cookies
We use online advertisements to draw attention to our services. We prefer to do this as targeted as possible to keep costs low and to avoid showing you unnecessary ads. For this, we use Google Adwords, Google Consent Mode, Google Dynamic Remarketing, Facebook Custom Audiences (we do not share our customer database with Facebook), Microsoft Bing Ads, and DoubleClick from Google.
With these cookies, we can:
- Keep track of which ads you have already seen so you do not see the same ad too often.
- Keep track of how many visitors click on our ads.
- Keep track of how many visitors use one of our services after clicking on an ad. This allows us to analyze how effective our ads are.
- Keep track of whether you have already taken certain services from us so you do not see unnecessary ads.
Even if you do not accept cookies, you may still come across our ads online. Not all our advertisements use cookies. With cookies, we can show you ads that are relevant to you.

Personalisation cookies
With your permission, we can combine data to offer you personalised content, for example, the website, our apps and newsletters, that matches your interests. We do this by recording your browsing and click behavior and linking it to your profile.
This prevents you from receiving content or offers that are less interesting to you. We will never exclude you from any of our services or products on this basis.
If you receive emails from Canonical Clarity, we can store click behavior in emails with the help of a technique called a pixel. We do this to provide you with good service and to make communication more personal and therefore more relevant.
Adjust cookies
At the bottom of every web page you can adjust your cookie settings and switch off cookies.

Do you not want cookies from our website to be placed? Then choose in our cookie notice to not accept our cookies. You see this notice when you visit our site for the first time. If you accepted our cookies earlier, you will no longer see this notice and you must first delete our cookies.
