1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer, tablet, or mobile device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites function properly, to improve user experience, and to provide information to the website operator.
Cookies can be "persistent" or "session" cookies. Persistent cookies remain on your device after you close your browser until they expire or you delete them. Session cookies are temporary and are deleted automatically when you close your browser.
This website is operated by OfficeMaster Learning Institute B.V., registered at Van Beresteynstraat 147, 2614 HE Delft, Netherlands. You can reach us at [email protected] or by phone at +31 15 262 3847.
2. How We Use Cookies
When you visit our website, we may place cookies on your device for several purposes. These include ensuring the website functions correctly, remembering your preferences, understanding how visitors interact with the website, and delivering relevant advertising content.
We categorize our cookies into three distinct groups: Essential Cookies, Analytics Cookies, and Marketing/Advertising Cookies. Each category serves a different purpose, and you have the ability to control which non-essential cookies are activated on your device.
Non-essential cookies (analytics and marketing) are only activated after you provide your explicit consent through our cookie consent banner. If you choose not to accept these cookies, only essential cookies will be used.

Purpose: Core site functionality, security, session management, and storing your cookie consent preferences.
Consent required: No. Essential cookies are activated automatically because they are necessary for the website to operate.
