Cookie Policy
1. What Are Cookies and Local Storage?
Cookies are small text files placed on your computer or mobile device when you browse websites. Local storage (such as HTML5 localStorage) is a browser mechanism that allows websites to store small pieces of data locally on your device.
X Built ('we', 'us', or 'our') prioritizes privacy and clean engineering. We avoid invasive behavioral advertising trackers and third-party data brokers.
2. Categories of Storage Technologies We Use
We categorize digital storage technologies into two primary types:
• Strictly Necessary / Functional: Essential for the operation of the website, language persistence, and recording your cookie consent preferences. These do not require prior consent under Article 11.7a of the Dutch Telecommunications Act (Telecommunicatiewet) and GDPR.
• Privacy-Friendly Analytics: Telemetry that helps us understand aggregated traffic patterns, page load speeds, and technical performance without tracking individual identity across the web.
3. Specific Technologies Deployed
The following items may be stored on your browser:
• xbuilt_lang (localStorage, Functional): Stores your language preference ('en' or 'nl') so the site renders in your selected language on subsequent visits. Duration: Persistent until cleared.
• xbuilt_cookie_consent (localStorage, Functional): Remembers whether you accepted, rejected, or customized cookie categories so the banner does not reappear repeatedly. Duration: 12 months.
• Vercel Web Analytics (Cookieless Analytics): Provides privacy-preserving metrics on page response times, geographic country origin, and device types without persistent tracking cookies or cross-site profiling.
• Stripe Payment Protection (Third-party, loaded strictly during checkout/payment flows): Used by Stripe to detect and prevent credit card fraud in compliance with financial security standards.
[TODO: confirm if Google Analytics, Meta Pixel, or any marketing tracking scripts are planned to be added].
4. How to Manage and Withdraw Your Consent
You can update or withdraw your consent at any time directly on our website using our interactive Cookie Settings panel (accessible via the Cookie Settings trigger).
Furthermore, you can adjust your internet browser settings to delete existing cookies, block third-party cookies, or alert you whenever cookies are sent. Please note that disabling essential local storage may impair language preferences.
