Cookie policy

Last updated: 6 November 2026

This policy applies to nexwavegames.eu and explains the cookies and similar technologies we use, including local browser storage. The former .nl domain redirects to .eu. Necessary storage works without consent; Google Analytics and Google Ads are activated only after you allow the corresponding category.

Your choice

On your first visit you can accept all, allow only necessary storage or choose per category. Statistics and marketing are off by default. We store your choice for up to 180 days and then ask again.

Google Analytics and Google Ads

With your consent, we use Google Analytics for visits, product interactions and purchases (order number, products and value). Google may also receive browser and device information, the referring website and approximate location. We do not send names, email addresses, phone numbers or delivery addresses to Google Analytics. We use Google Consent Mode v2. The Analytics tag loads only with statistics consent and the Ads tag only with marketing consent. Marketing consent includes ad_storage, ad_user_data and ad_personalization and may enable advertising measurement and personalised ads. Google Customer Reviews operates separately as described below. Google may process data outside the European Economic Area under the applicable transfer safeguards.

Google advertising and measurement cookie overview.

Google Customer Reviews

After a successful order, Google may display its Google Customer Reviews choice window. To display it, we share our Merchant Center ID, your email address, order number, delivery country and estimated delivery date with Google. This happens when the window opens, before you choose within it, and is separate from statistics and marketing preferences. Google may email a review invitation only if you agree in its window. The external module may process technical data and browser storage under Google’s own policies. Reviewing is optional and is not required to order. Our privacy policy explains this data sharing further.

Payments

PayPal is loaded only after you deliberately choose PayPal as the payment method. For iDEAL and card payments you are redirected to Mollie. These payment services process necessary payment and security data under their own privacy and cookie policies.

Changing or withdrawing consent

You can change consent at any time using Cookie settings in the footer. When you withdraw consent, we block the corresponding Google measurement service, remove accessible Google cookies on the current .nl or .eu domain and the associated local purchase records, and reload the page. You choose separately in Google’s window whether to receive a review email. Withdrawal stops new measurements; contact us about data already collected.

Retention

Cookie lifespan and data retention are separate periods. Google Analytics cookies have a default lifespan of two years, which browsers may limit and Google may renew on a later consented visit. Retention of user and event data is configured separately in Google Analytics; aggregated reports may remain available longer. Google Ads and Google’s own storage follow the per-cookie periods in its overview. Local purchase records have no automatic time limit and are used only while consent is valid. You can delete cookies and browser storage earlier yourself. Storage and preferences on .nl are not automatically transferred to .eu.
