Just like animals, you as a visitor have rights
In line with the philosophy of Animal Freedom that freedom is a fundamental right for humans and animals, we ourselves do not record any data about visitors. Animal Freedom is only a (SSL-secured) website: we have no members, send no newsletter and never ask you to create an account. Awareness requires patience without bothering people. Pull, don't push.
The Animal Freedom Foundation was dissolved on 31 March 2025. Since then the website has been managed by Bert Stoop, who is responsible for what is described below. You can reach him at mail@NOSPAManimalfreedom.org (remove NOSPAM from the address).
Besides organisations that stand up for animal welfare and animal rights, we work to a limited extent with a few companies: Google, bol.com and lulu.com. Below you can read what this means for your data. |
Visitor statistics and cookies
We use Google Analytics to follow the flow of visitors on the website. Analytics is loaded through Google Tag Manager and places analytical cookies under the name of this website. We do not use any other cookies.
We have set up Google Analytics to be as privacy-friendly as possible, following the guidelines of the Dutch Data Protection Authority:
- a data processing agreement has been concluded with Google;
- IP addresses are not stored;
- data sharing with Google is switched off;
- Google signals is switched off, so visits are not linked to a Google account or to advertising;
- the data is kept for 2 months.
We only use this information to see how visits to the site respond to the news, politics, developments in the agricultural sector and changes to the site itself. That is our legitimate interest. Because the statistics are set up this way, we do not ask for your consent. |
Searching the site
The search function of this website is provided by Google. What you type in the search box is sent to Google. Google may show advertisements with the search results and use cookies for this. The Google privacy policy applies to this. |
Fonts in the surveys
The surveys load their fonts from Google Fonts. In doing so, Google receives your IP address. No cookies are placed. |
Hosting and e-mail
As with any website, the server hosting Animal Freedom keeps technical log files, including IP address, time and requested page. These are only used for security and to solve problems.
If you e-mail us, we keep your message and e-mail address only to be able to reply. We do not share them with anyone. |
Bol.com and lulu.com
We point visitors to books and other products sold by the Dutch webshop bol.com. If you buy something through such a link, we receive a small fee through the bol.com partner programme. We can see what and how much was sold, but not who bought it.
A few pages refer to a book on lulu.com. What you do on bol.com and lulu.com falls under their own privacy policies. |
Your rights
Under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) you have the right to ask which data we hold about you, and to have it corrected or deleted. You can also object to its use. To do so, e-mail mail@NOSPAManimalfreedom.org.
If you disagree with how we handle your data, you can file a complaint with the Dutch Data Protection Authority (Autoriteit Persoonsgegevens). |
Links to other websites
The website contains links to external internet pages (marked with this icon  ). Animal Freedom is not liable for the use or content of internet pages to which this website links, or of internet pages that link to this website. This privacy policy does not apply to personal data collected from you on or via those external websites.
