Cookie & Privacy Policy
Last updated: 22 June 2026
Texel Reads (“we”, “us”) is an independent, informational website that presents a small selection of travel and culinary guides about the island of Texel. We do not sell products and we do not run user accounts. This policy explains what cookies we use and how we handle your information.
1. What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files — and similar storage such as your browser’s local storage — that a website can place on your device. They are widely used to make sites work and to remember your preferences.
2. Cookies we use
We use only essential storage. Specifically, when you respond to the cookie
banner, we save your choice (“accept” or “decline”) in your browser’s local storage under the key
texelreads_cookie_consent. This is used solely to remember that you have already
made a choice, so the banner does not appear on every visit.
- No tracking cookies. We do not profile your behaviour.
- No advertising cookies. We do not run ads or ad networks.
- No third-party analytics are loaded by this site.
3. Managing your choice
You can change or withdraw your consent at any time by clearing your browser’s cookies and local storage for this site, or by using your browser’s privacy settings. The next time you visit, the cookie banner will appear again. Declining does not affect your ability to read any page.
4. Links to Amazon
Each guide page links out to the corresponding product on Amazon, where the book is sold by third parties. When you follow such a link, you leave Texel Reads and Amazon’s own privacy policy and cookies apply. We have no control over, and take no responsibility for, the content or practices of external sites. Please review Amazon’s policies on their website.
5. Personal data
We do not ask for, collect, or store personal data such as your name, email address or payment details. This site has no contact forms, newsletters or sign-ups. The consent value described above stays on your own device and is not transmitted to us.
6. Children
This site is intended for a general audience and does not knowingly collect any information from children.
7. Changes to this policy
We may update this policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page with a revised “last updated” date.
8. Contact
If you have questions about this policy, please reach out through the contact channel provided by the site operator.
