      Hi,

      We have a website which is in english and dutch language.

      Our website has the following structure

      www.eurocottage.com:
      Dutch or English language ones the user has set his language in a cookie.

      www.eurocottage.com/nl/ :
      Dutch language

      www.eurocottage.com/en/:
      English language

      The .com and the eurocottage.com/nl/ and eurocottage.com have according to Google duplicate content because they are initial both in Dutch.

      What would be the best strategy to fix this problem?

      Thanks,

      Bram

        Hi Bram,

        For this issue there is an easy fix -> the use of hreflang.

        This will take care of all issues you've mention.
