This page explains which data Winter Festival Amsterdam processes, why, and which cookies we use. We keep it short and clear. We do not sell tickets ourselves: when you book, you book with one of our partners.

Booking with our partners
Our pages contain links and booking widgets from Tiqets, GetYourGuide and Booking.com. The booking widgets are part of the site’s booking function and therefore always load; these partners may set their own cookies. If you click through and book, the partner processes your data under its own privacy policy: Tiqets, GetYourGuide, Booking.com. We do not receive your payment or booking details, only an overview of commissions.
Videos and maps
YouTube videos first show only an image; YouTube (Google) loads only when you click play. Vimeo videos load only when you scroll to them. Our winter map uses map tiles from OpenStreetMap; the OpenStreetMap server sees your IP address. No cookies are set.

Hosting
The site is hosted by TransIP in the Netherlands. TransIP processes the data as a processor on our behalf.
Data outside the EU
Google (Google Analytics, YouTube) may process data in the United States. Google participates in the EU-US Data Privacy Framework. We have set up Google Analytics as privacy-friendly as possible: Google Signals and advertising features are switched off, and we do not share data with Google for its own products, modelling or recommendations. Only technical support by Google is allowed, when we ask for it ourselves.
Your rights
You have the right to access, correct or delete your data, to restrict processing, to object, and to withdraw your consent. Email info@winterfestivalamsterdam.com; we reply within one month. If you disagree with how we handle your data, you can file a complaint with the Dutch Data Protection Authority (Autoriteit Persoonsgegevens) or the authority in your country.
Affiliate links and disclaimer
Winter Festival Amsterdam is an independent guide and not the official website of the events mentioned. Many links to tickets, tours and hotels are affiliate links: if you book through such a link, we receive a commission from the partner. The price for you stays the same. We check dates, prices and opening hours carefully, but they can change; the information from the organiser or partner prevails.
Changes
We update this statement when our site or the rules change. The date of the last change is shown at the top.
