This policy describes what cookies we use, why we use them, your choices, and your rights under applicable data protection law (including the EU General Data Protection Regulation, “GDPR”).
We only place non-essential cookies (such as analytics cookies) after you have given your consent through our cookie banner. You may accept or reject analytics cookies, and you may change or withdraw your consent at any time.
Cookies are small text files stored on your device (computer, tablet, or smartphone) when you visit a website. Similar technologies (such as local storage or pixels) may be used for comparable purposes. Cookies can be session cookies (deleted when you close your browser) or persistent cookies (stored for a defined period).
These cookies are required for the Site to function and to record your cookie choice. They do not require consent under EU ePrivacy rules because they are necessary to provide a service you have requested (storing whether you have accepted or rejected optional cookies).
If you click “Accept” on our cookie banner, we use analytics cookies to understand how visitors use the Site (for example, which pages are viewed and how long visits last). This helps us improve the Site.
We do not use analytics cookies if you click “Reject”, unless you later change your preference.
We do not use cookies for advertising or social-media tracking on this Site.

Typical Google Analytics cookies may include _ga and _ga_<container-id>. These are only set after you accept analytics cookies.
Under the GDPR and the EU ePrivacy Directive (as implemented in national law), we must obtain your prior consent before storing or accessing non-essential cookies on your device.
When you first visit the Site, a cookie banner gives you a clear choice to Accept or Reject analytics cookies. Non-essential cookies are not used unless you click Accept.
Clicking Reject means we will not load Google Analytics for that browser or device (except for the strictly necessary consent cookie that records your rejection).
You may withdraw consent at any time without affecting your ability to use the Site for its main informational purposes.
• On this Site: Click Reject on the cookie banner, or delete cookies for wave-partnership.org in your browser to reset your choice. The banner will appear again on your next visit.
• Browser settings: Most browsers let you block, delete, or limit cookies. See your browser’s help section.
• Google Analytics opt-out: Use the browser add-on linked above.
Blocking all cookies may affect certain preferences, but the Site’s core content remains available without accepting analytics cookies.
If you accept analytics cookies, usage data may be processed by Google, including outside the European Economic Area (EEA). Where transfers occur, Google relies on appropriate safeguards such as Standard Contractual Clauses approved by the European Commission. See Google’s privacy documentation for details.
Depending on applicable law, you may have the right to:
• Access your personal data
• Request rectification or erasure
• Restrict or object to processing
• Data portability (where applicable)
• Withdraw consent at any time (without affecting the lawfulness of processing before withdrawal)
• Lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority
For visitors in the Netherlands, the supervisory authority is the Autoriteit Persoonsgegevens (AP): https://autoriteitpersoonsgegevens.nl
To exercise your rights, contact Cecilia Costa at cecilia.costa@newforesight.com. We will respond within the time limits required by law (generally one month under the GDPR).
We may update this Cookie Policy to reflect changes in technology, legal requirements, or our practices. The “Last updated” date at the top shows when this policy was last revised. Please review this page periodically.
