Cookie policy
Last updated: 14 September 2026
In short
Cookies are small text files that a website stores on your device. Storage in the browser itself (localStorage, sessionStorage and IndexedDB) works in a similar way. This policy covers both.
- This website sets no tracking, analytics or advertising cookies.
- There is no language cookie: the language is part of the web address.
- The company film from YouTube and the map from OpenStreetMap only load if you allow it.
Overview for visitors
For visitors, this is what is involved:
| Name or service | Purpose | Duration | Category |
|---|---|---|---|
| fmn-consent localStorage | Remembers your choice about external media. | 6 months, after which we ask again | Necessary |
| YouTube youtube-nocookie.com (Google Ireland Limited) | Shows the company film. Once loaded, YouTube may set cookies or use local storage. | Set by the provider | External media |
| OpenStreetMap OpenStreetMap Foundation | Shows the map on the contact page and receives your IP address when it loads. | Set by the provider | External media |
External media
The company film and the map come from a third party. As long as you have not allowed external media, nothing loads from YouTube or OpenStreetMap. In their place you see a notice with two choices: ‘Load once’ loads them this time only, ‘Always allow’ saves your consent. The film also only loads when you press play.
Once loaded, YouTube may set cookies or use local storage, and OpenStreetMap receives your IP address. How we handle personal data is explained in our privacy statement.
Changing or withdrawing your choice
You can change your choice or withdraw your consent at any time through ‘Cookie settings’ at the bottom of every page, or with the button below. If you clear this website’s stored data in your browser, your choice is removed too and we will ask again on your next visit.
