What are cookies
Cookies are useful techniques and scripts that websites use to make the website more user-friendly and to better tailor the information shown to the user. Cookies are used by the website owner himself, but perhaps also by third parties/advertisers such as social media channels (for example YouTube or Facebook) if YouTube videos have been placed on the website.
Why cookies
With cookies we can greatly improve the user experience of the website. For example, you do not have to enter the same information every time, you remain logged in and the website remembers which products/pages have been viewed so that you can easily find them again. We also use static cookies to analyze where we can improve or adjust the website.
What data do cookies collect?
The use of cookies is safe. Cookies cannot store personal information such as name, address, telephone number or email address. The following data, among other things, is collected via cookies:
- Your IP address and which browser you use (e.g. Firefox, Chrome or IE)
- Which system/screen you use for optimal display of the webshop.
- Your recently viewed products and items placed in the shopping cart.
- Passing information from one page to another page.

Our website may contain media files from third-party websites such as Youtube.com. When playing these files, cookies may be placed by these third parties. We also offer the option to share certain information via social media channels such as Facebook, LinkedIn or Twitter. When using this functionality, these social networks can place cookies on your computer to keep track of what information has been shared.

Processed data
Special Cosmetics BV makes a distinction between actively and passively provided data. Passively provided data is data that you provide to website administrators without you perhaps being aware of it. For example, when you visit this website, we record a number of technical data such as the IP address of your computer, the operating system you use, the internet browser you use to surf, the products/pages viewed and any products left in the shopping cart.
In addition, we process data that you actively provide to us, such as your name, address and e-mail address when you create an account, complete a contact form or place an order.
Purpose of processing data
The data that we passively receive via cookies, among other things, is used anonymously as much as possible by Special Cosmetics BV. We do this to:
1: Improve the functionality of the webshop
2: Improve security and user-friendliness
3: Tailor products and offers to your interests as much as possible.
The data that we actively receive (i.e. provided by yourself) is stored in a secure database of the webshop. By leaving your details you agree to the privacy policy as described here. We handle your information carefully and confidentially.
The security of your personal data
Your data is sent encrypted via a secure https environment. This guarantees that the data is not visible to third parties when the data is transferred from your PC to our server.
In addition, our web shops and systems are actively maintained/updated and secured in accordance with the most recent requirements to protect your personal data against loss or any form of unlawful processing.
Your rights (inspection, correction and objection)
Under the Personal Data Protection Act, you can request us to inspect your personal data. In addition to access, you may also request us to correct or supplement your data if you have noticed errors or if you would like this for another reason. The same applies to a request to delete or shield your personal data if it is incorrect, incomplete or irrelevant, or is otherwise processed in violation of a legal requirement. If you want to inspect the personal data that Special Cosmetics BV has recorded about you or if you want to change data because it is incorrect or incomplete, or if you want to have it removed or protected, you can contact Special Cosmetics BV by e-mail at info@specialcosmetics.nl. Special Cosmetics BV will inform you within four weeks which personal data it processes about you and whether it will or can comply with any request for deletion, blocking or improvement.
