Cookies and consent

We use functional cookies that are necessary for the site to work, and — only with your consent — analytics and marketing cookies.

Partner and affiliate links

Some links to hotels, tickets and tours are partner links. If you book through them we may receive a commission at no extra cost to you. The partner (for example Tiqets or a booking platform) becomes responsible for the data you enter on their website under their own privacy policy.

You can ask us for access to your data, correction, deletion, restriction or transfer, and you can object to processing. Email info@visitleiden.com and we will respond within 30 days. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with the Dutch Data Protection Authority (Autoriteit Persoonsgegevens).

Changes

We may update this policy when the website or applicable law changes. The current version always applies and is published on this page.
