Introduction:
Hey there! Welcome to our Cookie Policy, where we break down how TFP Fertility Group Ltd (“TFP,” “we,” or “us”) utilizes cookies and similar tracking technologies on our Dutch website (tfp-fertility.com/nl-nl). We’ll explain what cookies are, why we use them, and how you can manage your preferences.

No non-essential cookies or trackers are activated by default. They remain completely disabled until you give us the green light.
