Cookie Policy
Last updated: 24 July 2026
1. Introduction
This Cookie Policy explains how HVEG Group B.V. (“HVEG”, “we”, “us” or “our”) uses cookies and similar technologies on hvegcareers.com (the “Careers Website”).
HVEG Group B.V. is the overarching company responsible for the Careers Website.
2. What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files that a website may place on your computer, smartphone, tablet or other device when you visit the website.
Cookies can be used to make a website function correctly, remember technical preferences, protect forms against misuse or collect information about how a website is used.
Some cookies are deleted when you close your browser. These are known as session cookies. Other cookies may remain on your device for a defined period or until you delete them.
Similar technologies, such as local storage or security tokens, may perform comparable technical functions. References to “cookies” in this policy also include these technologies where appropriate.
3. Cookies used by the Careers Website
The Careers Website only uses cookies or similar technologies that are strictly necessary for its technical operation, security and functionality.
These technologies may be used to:
- Display the website correctly;
- Maintain a secure browsing session;
- Operate application forms;
- Prevent spam, automated submissions, fraud and misuse;
- Distribute website traffic and maintain availability;
- Remember essential technical settings;
- Detect and resolve technical errors.
Strictly necessary cookies cannot be used to create advertising profiles or track visitors across unrelated websites.
Because these cookies are required to provide the website or a service requested by the visitor, prior consent is generally not required under applicable Dutch cookie rules.
4. Current cookie categories
| Category | Purpose | Typical duration |
|---|---|---|
| Strictly necessary cookies | Website operation, security, session management and application-form functionality | For the browser session or a limited period required for the relevant technical function |
| Preference cookies | Remembering an essential choice or technical preference, where applicable | Until the preference expires or is deleted |
| Analytics cookies | Not used | Not applicable |
| Advertising cookies | Not used | Not applicable |
| Social-media tracking cookies | Not used | Not applicable |
The exact names of strictly necessary cookies may depend on the website’s hosting, security and form configuration. They can be viewed through the cookie or storage settings in your browser.
5. No Google Analytics
The Careers Website does not use Google Analytics.
We therefore do not place Google Analytics cookies to analyse individual visits, browsing behaviour, session duration or interactions with pages on the Careers Website.
6. Google Search Console
HVEG uses Google Search Console to understand how the Careers Website appears and performs in Google Search.
Search Console may show information such as:
- Search queries;
- Impressions in Google Search;
- Clicks from Google Search;
- Click-through rates;
- Average search-result positions;
- Landing pages;
- General country and device categories.
This information originates from activity within Google Search and is primarily aggregated. Google Search Console is not used by HVEG to place analytics cookies on the Careers Website or to create individual visitor profiles.
Google may process information independently when someone uses Google Search. Such processing is governed by Google’s own privacy policies and settings.
7. No advertising or social-media tracking
The Careers Website does not use cookies, pixels or similar tracking technologies from:
- Google Ads;
- Meta Ads, Facebook or Instagram;
- Other advertising networks;
- Social-media platforms for advertising profiling or remarketing.
We do not use cookies to:
- Track visitors across different websites;
- Create advertising or interest profiles;
- Build custom or lookalike advertising audiences;
- Measure advertising conversions;
- Conduct remarketing;
- Optimise or train Google Ads or Meta Ads systems;
- Provide application information to external artificial-intelligence models.
Application forms, CVs, cover letters, portfolios and other candidate information are not used for advertising purposes.
8. Application forms
Strictly necessary security technologies may be used to protect application forms against spam, malware and automated submissions.
Application forms and uploaded documents are not retained in the database of the Careers Website. They may be processed temporarily for the technical transmission of the application to the relevant HVEG recruitment team or HVEG Group company.
Cookies used for form security do not store the content of your CV, cover letter, portfolio or application.
9. Third-party services
The website’s hosting, security or form provider may set a strictly necessary cookie where this is required to deliver or protect the Careers Website.
Such service providers may process limited technical information, such as:
- An IP address;
- Browser and device information;
- The date and time of a request;
- The requested page;
- Security events and error information.
These providers may process this information only for the relevant technical, operational or security purpose and subject to appropriate contractual and security safeguards.
If we introduce external content that can place non-essential cookies, such as embedded videos, social-media content or interactive maps, that content will be blocked until the visitor has provided any legally required consent.
10. Managing and deleting cookies
You can use your browser settings to view, block or delete cookies. The method depends on the browser and device you use.
Please note that blocking strictly necessary cookies may cause parts of the Careers Website or application form to stop working correctly.
Information about managing cookies is generally available in the privacy or security settings of browsers such as:
- Google Chrome;
- Microsoft Edge;
- Mozilla Firefox;
- Apple Safari.
11. Consent and future changes
At present, the Careers Website does not use analytics, advertising or other non-essential cookies for which consent is required.
If we introduce non-essential cookies in the future, we will:
- Update this Cookie Policy;
- Provide clear information about the cookies and their purposes;
- Request consent before placing them where legally required;
- Offer visitors a way to refuse or withdraw consent as easily as it was given.
Refusing non-essential cookies will not prevent access to the general content of the Careers Website.
12. Personal data and your rights
Cookies and similar technologies can sometimes involve the processing of personal data. More information about how HVEG processes personal data and how you can exercise your privacy rights can be found in the HVEG Careers Privacy Policy.
13. Changes to this Cookie Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy if the Careers Website, its technical configuration, service providers or applicable laws change.
The latest version will always be published on the Careers Website with the date on which it was last updated.

Deze opzet volgt het Nederlandse uitgangspunt dat voor functionele en niet-privacygevoelige cookies doorgaans geen toestemming nodig is, terwijl trackingcookies voorafgaande toestemming vereisen. Rijksoverheid – Mag een website ongevraagd cookies plaatsen?.
Voor publicatie raad ik aan één technische cookiescan uit te voeren. Daarmee kunnen onder “Current cookie categories” de exacte cookienamen, aanbieders en bewaartermijnen worden opgenomen. Vooral hostingbeveiliging, captcha’s, externe lettertypen en embedded content kunnen ongemerkt aanvullende cookies of verbindingen activeren.
