This Cookie Policy explains how Ping Shu Yuan (“we”, “us”, or “our”) uses cookies and similar technologies on the Meditation The Hague website.
This Cookie Policy should be read together with our Privacy Policy.
1. What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device when you visit a website. They allow a website to recognise your device and remember certain information about your visit.
We may also use technologies similar to cookies, such as tags, pixels or other identifiers, for certain purposes.
2. How we use cookies
We use cookies and similar technologies for purposes including:
- ensuring the Website functions properly;
- maintaining security;
- remembering your privacy and consent preferences; and
- understanding how visitors use the Website through Google Analytics, where you have provided the required consent.
We do not use optional analytics cookies unless the applicable consent requirements have been satisfied.
3. Cookiebot by Usercentrics
We use Cookiebot by Usercentrics as our consent-management platform.
Cookiebot helps us:
- obtain and manage your consent choices;
- record your consent preferences;
- distinguish between necessary and optional cookies and similar technologies; and
- help control the use of optional cookies according to your choices.
Cookiebot may use cookies or similar technologies that are necessary to remember and manage your consent preferences.
The specific Cookiebot cookies and their retention periods may depend on the configuration of the Website and Cookiebot service.
For more information about Cookiebot and Usercentrics’ processing of personal data, please see:
https://www.cookiebot.com/en/privacy-policy
4. Your consent
When you first visit the Website, Cookiebot may display a consent banner asking you to choose which categories of optional cookies or similar technologies you allow.
Depending on the options provided, you may be able to:
- accept all optional cookies;
- reject optional cookies; or
- manage your preferences by cookie category.
You can change or withdraw your consent at any time through the Cookie Settings option provided on the Website.
Withdrawing consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing that took place before you withdrew your consent.
5. Google Analytics
We use Google Analytics 4 (GA4) to understand how visitors use our Website and to improve its content and functionality.
Google Analytics is provided by Google Ireland Limited for users in the European Economic Area.
Depending on your consent choices, Google Analytics may process information such as:
- information about your device and browser;
- pages and content you view;
- approximate location;
- how you arrived at and interacted with the Website;
- technical information about your visit; and
- information associated with analytics cookies or similar technologies.
Google Analytics cookies, where applicable, are used only in accordance with your consent choices and our consent-management configuration.
6. Google Consent Mode
We use Google Consent Mode together with our consent-management system.
Cookiebot communicates your relevant consent choices to Google services through Google Consent Mode.
Where consent for analytics storage has not been granted, Google tags may operate in a restricted manner without using analytics cookies for the purposes for which consent is required.
Depending on the configuration and your consent choices, limited information may still be sent to Google for purposes such as modelling or measuring Website activity.
Google Consent Mode does not replace the requirement to obtain consent where consent is legally required.
For more information about Google’s processing of data, please see:
https://policies.google.com/privacy
and:

7. Google Analytics data retention
Our Google Analytics 4 property is configured with a 14-month retention period for event-level and user-level data.
This retention period concerns data stored within Google Analytics and is separate from the lifetime of individual cookies stored on your device.
Aggregated reporting data may be retained for longer periods because it is not subject to the same event-level data-retention settings.
8. Cookies used on this Website
Because cookies and similar technologies may change as the Website, WordPress configuration, Cookiebot configuration or third-party services are updated, we do not rely solely on a manually maintained list of cookies.
Cookiebot scans the Website and provides a current cookie declaration showing the cookies and similar technologies detected on the Website, including information such as their:
- name;
- provider;
- purpose;
- category; and
- duration.
Cookiebot cookie declaration
The Cookiebot declaration should be considered the current list of cookies and similar technologies detected on the Website. It may be updated when the Website is scanned again or when the technologies used on the Website change.
9. Cookie categories
Cookies used on the Website may fall into the following categories:
Necessary
These cookies are required for the Website or consent-management functionality to operate properly. Where permitted by applicable law, they do not require consent.
Preferences
These cookies or similar technologies may remember choices you make, such as preferences that improve your experience.
Statistics
These technologies help us understand how visitors use the Website, including through Google Analytics. They require consent where required by applicable law.
Marketing
We do not intentionally use marketing or advertising cookies unless this Cookie Policy and our consent-management configuration are updated to reflect their use.
10. Managing cookies through your browser
You can also manage or delete cookies through your browser settings.
Most browsers allow you to:
- view cookies stored on your device;
- delete existing cookies;
- block cookies;
- block third-party cookies; or
- receive a warning before cookies are stored.
Please note that blocking necessary cookies may affect the functionality of the Website.
11. Third-party services
Some third-party services used on the Website may process information or use cookies or similar technologies.
These currently include:
- Google Analytics, for website statistics and analytics, subject to your consent where required; and
- Cookiebot by Usercentrics, for consent management.
The services and technologies used on the Website may change over time. Where this happens, this Cookie Policy and the Cookiebot cookie declaration may be updated accordingly.
12. International data transfers
Some third-party providers may process information outside the European Economic Area.
Where personal data is transferred outside the EEA, appropriate safeguards are used where required by applicable data protection law.
