  Good to know: in some cases, that is, when using the Facebook pixel and thereby being able to tailor our ads to your preferences, bol.com and Facebook both qualify as “joint controller” in the sense of the GDPR. For this relationship, Facebook and bol.com have entered into an agreement about their respective responsibilities (link: https://www.facebook.com/legal/controller_addendum). For more information, including how you can submit a request for access to Facebook, we refer you to Facebook’s privacy policy, which can be found here: https://www.facebook.com/about/privacy.

If you do not want websites to be able to save cookies on your computer, you can modify your browser settings. You will then receive a warning before cookies are placed on your computer. You can also adjust your settings so your browser rejects all cookies or only third-party cookies. You can also remove cookies that have already been placed. You will need to modify settings separately for each browser on each device you use. Unfortunately, if you do not allow cookies, we cannot guarantee that our careers site will function properly. Some functions of the careers site may then be lost and some pages may not be visible to you at all. Also, refusing cookies does not mean that you will no longer be shown any ads. The ads you see will simply not be adapted to reflect your interests and may be repeated more often. The procedures for modifying settings vary from one browser to another.
