Cookie statement
Which cookies this site uses, what they are for, and exactly how you can refuse or delete them. We use no marketing or advertising cookies.
Last updated: 28 May 2026. This statement explains the cookies used on zonnebloemen.com. It sits alongside our privacy statement, which covers data handling more broadly.
What is a cookie?
A cookie is a small text file a website stores in your browser. It lets the site, or a service it uses, recognise your browser on later page views — for example to count a visit only once. Cookies cannot run programs or carry viruses.
Which cookies we use
Zonnebloemen.com is a static site and sets only analytics cookies, placed by Google Analytics (measurement ID G-GW7H76E85E) so we can see which pages are read and how many people visit. We use no functional login cookies and no advertising cookies.
- _ga — distinguishes individual visitors. Set by Google Analytics. Typical lifetime up to 2 years.
- _ga_PZDSV7WJK3 — used by Google Analytics 4 to maintain session state for this specific property. Typical lifetime up to 2 years.
- _gid — distinguishes visitors and is used by some Google Analytics configurations; short-lived, typically 24 hours.
These cookies are used purely to produce aggregated visitor statistics. As described in the privacy statement, Google Analytics is configured to truncate IP addresses, and we do not enable any advertising or cross-site tracking features.
No marketing cookies
We place no advertising, remarketing or social-media tracking cookies of any kind. The only cookies on this site are the analytics cookies listed above.
How to refuse or delete cookies
You are in control of cookies. There are several ways to refuse or remove them:
- Browser settings. Every major browser lets you block or delete cookies. Look under Settings → Privacy (Chrome, Edge, Firefox, Safari). You can clear existing cookies and choose to block future ones, either entirely or per site.
- Do not track / block third parties. Blocking third-party cookies, or using a browser's tracking-protection mode, will stop the Google Analytics cookies above.
- Google Analytics opt-out. Google offers a browser add-on that disables Google Analytics across all sites: visit the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on page and install it for your browser.
Refusing or deleting these cookies has no effect on your ability to read the site — all pages, such as the biology and growing sections, work exactly the same without them. The only difference is that your visit will not be counted in our statistics.
Changes
If the cookies we use ever change, we will update this page and the date above. Questions? Email [email protected].
