Cookies.

The public pages of this site, the home page, the capability pages, the scan, set no cookies at all. No advertising cookies, no analytics, no tracking pixels, no profiling. Because of that, there is no consent banner: under the Dutch Telecommunications Act and the GDPR, consent is only required for non-essential cookies, and there are none here to consent to.

Two narrow, strictly necessary cases exist:

• Language choice: if you switch between English and Dutch, that choice is remembered so the site keeps showing your language. This is a functional preference, not tracking.
• Sign-in (private area only): one strictly necessary session cookie exists inside the private client area, and only if you actually have a login there. It keeps you signed in and is never used to follow you across the web.

On the scan flow, the site may briefly use your browser's local storage to remember a choice you made (for example, that you asked for a demo) so the confirmation page can reflect it. This stays in your browser, is not a cookie, and is not sent anywhere for tracking.

Because nothing non-essential is set, there is nothing to opt out of. You can still clear cookies and local storage at any time through your browser settings; the only visible effect is that your language preference and any sign-in are forgotten.

If a future feature ever needs a non-essential cookie, it will ask for consent first and this statement will be updated before it ships. Questions go to oliver@higgihq.com.
