Cookie Policy
Last updated: 15 September 2026
This Cookie Policy explains how ALFA MARINE SPARE PARTS NL (“Alfa Marine”, “we”, “us” or “our”) uses cookies and similar technologies on alfamarinespareparts.com (the “Site”). It should be read together with our Privacy Policy.
1. What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make sites work, remember preferences, understand how visitors use the site, and support marketing where allowed. We may also use similar technologies such as local storage for the same purposes.
2. How we use cookies
We use cookies and similar technologies to:
- operate essential site functions (for example security, session and form protection);
- remember your cookie preference (accept or reject);
- measure traffic and improve the Site (analytics), only if you accept non-essential cookies;
- support marketing and advertising measurement where applicable, only if you accept non-essential cookies.
3. Types of cookies we use
3.1 Strictly necessary cookies
These cookies are required for the Site to function. They enable basic features such as page navigation, secure areas, session handling and remembering your cookie choice. The Site cannot work properly without them. These cookies do not require your consent under applicable Dutch / EU rules, but we still inform you about them here.
3.2 Analytics cookies
If you accept cookies, we may use analytics services such as Google Analytics to understand how visitors use the Site — for example pages viewed, approximate location, device type and referral source. These services are loaded through our tag-management setup only after you choose Accept. Google Tag Manager is used to deploy tags; it is not itself the analytics provider, but it may load analytics tools that set their own cookies.
3.3 Marketing cookies
If you accept cookies, marketing or advertising tags deployed through our tag-management setup may place cookies to measure campaign performance or show more relevant messages. These are only used after you choose Accept.
4. Cookie and service overview
The table below summarises the main cookies and similar technologies we use. Third-party retention periods may change; see the provider’s policy for details.
| Cookie / service | Purpose | Type | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
Consent preference (am_cookie_consent) | Remembers whether you accepted or rejected optional cookies | Necessary (local storage) | Until you clear site data or change your choice |
laravel_session | Maintains your session and supports secure site functionality | Necessary | Session / up to 120 minutes of inactivity |
XSRF-TOKEN | Helps protect forms and requests against cross-site request forgery | Necessary | Session |

| Marketing tags (via tag manager) | Measures advertising and campaign performance | Marketing | According to the relevant provider’s settings |
Analytics and marketing cookies are only set after you choose Accept on our cookie notice.
5. Your choices
When you first visit the Site, a cookie notice lets you Accept or Reject non-essential cookies.
- Accept — you allow analytics and marketing cookies (in addition to strictly necessary cookies).
- Reject — we only use strictly necessary cookies. Analytics and marketing tags will not be loaded.
We do not currently offer a separate cookie-preferences panel with category-level controls. You can change your choice by clearing site data or cookies for this domain in your browser, which will show the notice again on your next visit. You can also control cookies through your browser settings (block, delete or alert you before cookies are stored). Blocking all cookies may affect Site functionality.
6. Third-party cookies
Some cookies may be set by third parties (for example Google) when you have accepted non-essential cookies. We do not control those third parties’ technologies. Please review their policies for more information, including Google’s Privacy Policy and Cookie Policy.
7. Retention
The retention period depends on the cookie or technology. Session cookies are deleted when you close your browser, while persistent cookies remain until they expire or you delete them. Your cookie preference is stored locally in your browser so we do not ask again on every visit. Specific retention periods for the main cookies and services are shown in the table above.
8. Personal data and privacy
Where cookies involve personal data, processing is described in our Privacy Policy and is carried out in line with applicable Dutch and EU data-protection law.
9. Changes to this Cookie Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time. The version published on this page is the current one, with the “Last updated” date shown at the top. Continued use of the Site after changes means you should review this page periodically.
