Cookies and similar technologies

DutchDatingSites.com may use cookies and similar technologies. Cookies are small files stored on your device. They can help a website function, remember preferences, measure traffic or support affiliate tracking.

We may use the following types of cookies:

Necessary cookies

These cookies are needed for the website to function properly. They may be used for security, page loading or basic technical operation.

Analytics cookies

These cookies help us understand how visitors use the website. For example, they may show which pages are visited most often and how users navigate through the site.

Affiliate and advertising cookies

These cookies or tracking links may be used by affiliate networks or dating platforms to record that a visitor clicked from DutchDatingSites.com to a third-party platform. This helps attribute commissions.

Where required, non-essential cookies are only used after consent. You can adjust or withdraw cookie consent through the cookie banner or your browser settings, where available.

Third-party services

We may use third-party services for analytics, hosting, security, affiliate tracking, comparison widgets or website functionality.

These third parties may process personal data according to their own privacy policies. Examples may include:

  • Web hosting providers
  • Analytics providers
  • Affiliate networks
  • Dating platforms linked from this website
  • Spam protection or security tools
  • WordPress plugins or technical service providers

When you click a link to a dating platform, you leave DutchDatingSites.com. The privacy policy and terms of that external platform apply from that point onward.

Affiliate links and comparison widgets

DutchDatingSites.com may contain affiliate links and comparison widgets. If you click these links, a third party may process tracking information to determine whether a registration, lead or purchase came from our website.

This tracking may involve cookies, click IDs, referral URLs or similar identifiers. We do not control all tracking technologies used by third-party affiliate networks or dating platforms.

How long we keep personal data

We do not keep personal data longer than necessary for the purpose for which it was collected.

Contact messages may be kept for as long as needed to respond to your request and maintain basic business records. Analytics and cookie data are kept according to the retention settings of the relevant tool or provider. Affiliate tracking data may be retained by affiliate networks according to their own policies.

How we protect personal data

We take reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect personal data against loss, misuse, unauthorised access, disclosure or alteration.

No website can guarantee complete security. You should also take care when sharing personal information online, especially when visiting third-party dating platforms.

Sharing personal data

We do not sell your personal contact details.

We may share limited personal data with service providers where necessary to operate the website, process analytics, manage affiliate tracking, secure the website or comply with legal obligations.

We may also disclose information if required by law, legal process, regulatory request or to protect our rights and website security.

International data transfers

Some third-party providers may process data outside the Netherlands or the European Economic Area. Where this happens, we expect such providers to use appropriate safeguards where required by applicable data protection law.

Depending on your location and applicable law, you may have the right to:

  • Request access to your personal data
  • Request correction of inaccurate data
  • Request deletion of your data
  • Object to certain processing
  • Request restriction of processing

Children

DutchDatingSites.com is intended for adults. Online dating services are generally intended for users aged 18 or older. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children.
