1. Introduction

When you visit www.bitvavo.com, use any related website or use the Bitvavo app, Bitvavo might use cookies and similar technologies to collect information about you. Since Bitvavo B.V. (“Bitvavo”) respects your privacy and makes it a high priority to handle your (personal) data with care, this “Cookie Statement” explains what these technologies are and why we use them, as well as your rights to control our use of them.

We are responsible for the use of cookies on our websites and applications. To get in contact with Bitvavo about our use of cookies, please refer to the contact details provided at the bottom of this Cookie Statement.

This Cookie Statement is part of, and utilizes certain terms that are defined in the User Agreement.

2. What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files that websites place on your device as you are browsing. They are processed and stored by your web browser. A cookie enables data (potentially including personal data) to be stored on and retrieved from your device.

In and of themselves, cookies are harmless and are widely used for the proper functioning of a website, to make the website more efficient, as well as to provide information to website owners. Cookies can also generally be easily viewed and deleted.

2.2 Duration

The length of time a cookie will stay on your browsing device depends on whether it is a persistent or session cookie as both explained below:

  1. Session cookies: These cookies are temporary and expire once you close your browser (or once your session ends).

  2. Persistent cookies: This category encompasses all cookies that remain on your hard drive until you erase them or your browser does, depending on the cookie’s specific retention period (mentioned under section 3).

2.2 Source of the cookies

Cookies could be placed by several parties as explained below:

  1. First-party cookies: Are put on your device directly by the website you are visiting.

  2. Third-party cookies: Are the cookies that are placed on your device, not by the website you are visiting, but by a third party like an advertiser or an analytic system.

Please note that, although we use (some of) the information collected by third-party cookies, we do not control the types of information collected and stored by third-party cookies themselves. If you want more information on this, please check the third-party's website for more information on how they use cookies.


3. What types of cookies do we currently use and why?

Bitvavo uses cookies for functional, analytical and marketing purposes.

Some cookies used for analytical or marketing purposes enable the storage and retrieval of personal data on your device. For example, cookies used to show you advertisements and other relevant information about topics of interest to you, to carry out campaign analysis and to approach target audiences. We will ask your consent before we use these types of cookies.

Set out below is a list of the cookies we currently use per category, the provider of these cookies, the purposes for which we use them, the lifespan of each cookie and the legal ground for the processing of personal data via these cookies.

3.3 Marketing cookies

We place various cookies for advertising, commercial and promotional purposes. The personal data collected by these cookies are analyzed and used for the development of campaigns and to target audiences with the most relevant information and personalized communications on the Website or app. For certain marketing campaigns, we utilize server-to-server (S2S) tracking technologies. In these instances, confirmation of actions, such as completing a registration or making a deposit, may be transmitted securely from our servers directly to our advertising or measurement partners. This processing is technically linked to your cookie preferences; it only occurs if you have provided marketing consent via our cookie banner. This method utilizes pseudonymized or hashed identifiers (like a hashed email) to protect your privacy, rather than relying on standard browser cookies alone. Where applicable, these partners may act as independent or joint controllers of the data they receive. This process does not involve sharing your plain personal data with these partners.

We process the following marketing cookies:
