Privacy and cookies

Last updated: 17 October 2026

This page explains what happens to your data when you use brutonaarnettoberekenen.nl to work out a Dutch net salary, the 30% ruling, holiday pay or a mortgage. It follows the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the Dutch Telecommunications Act (Telecommunicatiewet, art. 11.7a). The Dutch version, the privacybeleid, says the same.

1. Who is responsible

2. What you type stays in your browser

Gross pay, hourly rate, tax credits, property value, age: every figure you enter is calculated by JavaScript in your own browser. Nothing is sent to a server and nothing is kept on your device once you leave the page. A share link carries your inputs in the page address: only send it to people you choose.

3. Cookies and audience measurement with Google Analytics

The site uses Google Analytics 4 to count visits and see which pages are useful: pages viewed, referring page, visit length, device and browser type, approximate country and city. To do so Google Analytics sets two cookies on your device, and they are the only cookies on the site: no advertising cookie, no social media cookie.

NameProviderPurposeLifetime
_gaGoogle AnalyticsTell visitors apart with a random identifier13 months at most (390 days)
_ga_WZKYFTS7CSGoogle AnalyticsKeep the state of the current visit13 months at most (390 days)

These lifetimes are not extended on each visit; Google’s default is 2 years and the site shortens it. The IP address is anonymised: Google Analytics 4 neither logs nor stores it, and only uses it at collection time to derive an approximate country and city. The page address sent to Google Analytics is stripped of its parameters, so the inputs carried by a share link are not included. The site shows no advertising: ad storage, ad user data, ad personalisation and Google signals are switched off, and measurement data is shared with no advertiser.

If you press the light/dark theme button yourself, your browser remembers that single choice locally (localStorage key theme); it never leaves your device.

4. Anonymous stability check (Microsoft Clarity, no cookies)

To catch broken calculations quickly, we measure, technically and anonymously, how well the site runs: script errors, loading times, clicks that do nothing and how far pages are scrolled. We use Microsoft Clarity for this in its cookieless mode: before the Clarity script loads, it is told that storage is denied. Clarity then sets no _clck, _clsk, MUID or CLID, gives each page view its own random identifier and does not link visits together. Page text and anything you type are masked in your browser before anything is sent.

Microsoft may process technical data in the United States under the EU–U.S. Data Privacy Framework. See privacy.microsoft.com/privacystatement.

5. Hosting and email

The site is served by GitHub Pages (GitHub, Inc.), which keeps technical server logs (IP address, time, page requested) for security; we have no access to them. If you email us, we use your address and message only to reply, then delete them.

6. Your rights

Under Articles 15 to 22 GDPR you may ask for access, rectification, erasure, restriction or portability, and you may object (for audience measurement, see the opt-out in section 3). We usually hold no data that identifies you, but you can always write to contact@brutonaarnettoberekenen.nl; we reply within 30 days. You can also complain to the Dutch Data Protection Authority, Autoriteit Persoonsgegevens.
