Provider and Consumer

It is possible to hardwire the settings of a web browser to automatically refuse cookies. We would like to kindly point out that this may cause the website to function suboptimal, also having an impact on its user experience. When a consumer (a consumer of the service provider, also referred to as the "end consumer") books an appointment through a website of a service provider that utilizes OnlineAfspraken, OnlineAfspraken will register that visit through the use of cookies. In this specific case, these are cookies for the system to be able to remember the necessary steps to making an appointment. The information that is gathered through the cookies is once again only linked to a computer or IP-address, not to a specific end consumer. It is therefore not possible to track an end consumer's identity through the use of these cookies. An end consumer is also able to set their browser to automatically refuse cookies, this may however result in difficulties during the booking process and therefore provide a suboptimal user experience.
