Cookie Policy
Last Updated: March 12, 2026
Introduction
This Cookie Policy supplements our Privacy Policy and explains how Inner Haven Meditation (âweâ, âourâ, or âusâ) uses cookies and similar technologies on our website. Cookies are small text files stored on your device that help a website function, remember preferences, and understand usage patterns. We also use related technologies such as pixel tags and local storage. Because our services are educational, our use of cookies focuses on site reliability, basic analytics (subject to consent), and optional marketing features for audiences in the Netherlands.
The controller responsible for this website is G & F Beheer B.V., Meerum Terwogtlaan 219, 3056 PP Rotterdam, Netherlands. You may contact us at [email protected] regarding this policy. Where required by law, certain cookies (analytics and marketing) only run after you grant consent via our preferences panel available in the site footer under âManage cookie preferencesâ.
What are cookies and similar technologies?
Cookies are small data files placed on your browser when you visit a website. They perform a variety of functions, including enabling essential site operations, storing your settings, and measuring how visitors interact with content. We may also use pixel tags (small code snippets that record events like page views) and server-side tracking where legally permissible and consented to, for example to attribute conversions or to maintain security.
Types of cookies
By lifespan:
- Session cookies expire when you close your browser.
- Persistent cookies remain on your device for a set period or until you clear them.
By origin:
- First-party cookies are set by our domain to support functionality and preferences.
- Third-party cookies are set by service providers (for example, analytics and advertising partners) subject to your consent where required.
Cookie categories we use
We group cookies into three categories. The definitions below align with our Privacy Policy and our on-site cookie preferences panel.
- Essential â Required for the site to operate (e.g., session continuity, security, remembering consent). These do not require consent.
- Analytics â Help us understand aggregate site usage and improve educational content. These activate only after consent.
- Marketing â Support advertising, remarketing, and conversion attribution. These activate only after consent.

Consent and control
Visitors in the EEA and UK receive a consent banner upon their first visit. Essential cookies always function. Analytics and marketing cookies run only after affirmative consent, which you can grant, refuse, or later change at any time. To adjust your choices, use the âManage cookie preferencesâ link in the footer; you may also clear your browser cookies to reset prompts. Your consent record is stored in the âcookie_consentâ cookie for up to 12 months.
In addition to our on-site controls, most browsers provide settings to block or delete cookies. You can typically find these options under Settings or Preferences. Industry resources also offer opt-outs for advertising cookies. Example resources (listed for reference; not clickable on this page): tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout, adssettings.google.com, facebook.com/adpreferences, youronlinechoices.eu.
Third-party providers
When enabled by consent, we may use Google Analytics 4 for aggregated insights and Google Ads / Meta Pixel for marketing measurement. These providers process limited identifiers such as cookie IDs, page URLs, referrers, and event metadata. We do not sell personal data. Providers are contractually restricted from using site data for their own independent commercial purposes. Details about how we handle personal data more broadly appear in our Privacy Policy.
Retention
Essential session data typically expires when you close your browser. Consent records are retained for up to 12 months. Analytics identifiers (when enabled) generally persist for up to 2 years; marketing identifiers (when enabled) commonly persist for up to 90 days. Server logs used for security are typically retained for up to 90 days unless a longer period is required to investigate potential abuse or technical issues.
Changes to this policy
We may update this Cookie Policy to reflect legal, technical, or operational changes. Material updates will be signposted on the website. The âLast Updatedâ date at the top of this page indicates the most recent revision. Continued use of the site after an update signifies that you have read the changes.
