  1. CONSENT

4.1. Your consent is required for the placement and reading of cookies on your end device via the website, unless it concerns the technical storage of information or the provision of a service explicitly requested by you, when placing a cookie is strictly necessary for that purpose. Therefore, your consent is not required for functional or essential cookies. Your consent is required for non-functional or non-essential cookies. Your consent must be:

– obtained before the cookies are placed. When consent is not given, no cookies may be placed;

– informed, which is why we provide you with information about the various cookies through this policy;

– explicit and active. Your consent is therefore obtained by checking the boxes in the cookie banner on our website;

– specific, and therefore obtained per cookie or per category of cookie.

4.2. Functional or essential cookies are necessary for the optimal functioning of our website, for displaying certain graphic elements, etc. These cookies are technically required for the proper operation and security of the website. These cookies are therefore placed without your consent as they fall within our legitimate interests, insofar as these outweigh your (privacy) rights and interests. Non-functional or non-essential cookies, on the other hand, are placed for statistical, social, and/or commercial purposes and are unrelated to the technical operation or support of our website. These include, for example, the following cookies:

  1. Analytical cookies: these cookies are used to compile statistics on the number of visitors to the website, the most popular web pages, etc. These cookies show how the website is used. For example, we know how many times a particular page is read, how much time someone spends on our website, etc. Statistical analyses are made from the information we receive in this way. Thanks to these statistical results, we can improve the structure, navigation, and content of our website and related services. We also use this data to report on our services in general or as part of studies we participate in. No personal data is transmitted in this process. The consent of each visitor is required for the placement of these cookies.
  2. Marketing cookies: these cookies are used to personalize the online advertising offer.
  3. Social media cookies: these cookies provide the option to include buttons from social networking sites. These buttons operate through code originating from these sites — a convenient tool to promote web pages, such as ‘liking’ or ‘pinning’ them.

4.3. If you have given your consent via our website to use non-functional cookies, you can change this setting and withdraw your consent at any time. The cookies already installed will then be deleted. This can be done via the cookie banner. You can withdraw your consent for our cookies at any time, even if you previously gave it. Please note, however, that if you do not agree to some of our cookies, the user experience may be affected.

 

  1. COOKIES BY THIRD PARTIES

5.1. Our website uses both first-party cookies (placed directly by our website) and third-party cookies (placed by domains other than our own, from services used on the website). This is also indicated in the second column of the table under Article 6.2.

5.2. First-party cookies do not involve the transfer of personal data to third parties but may use a third-party processor, for example, for compiling statistics. Consent is also required for the placement of, for example, first-party analytical cookies.

5.3. Third-party cookies may result in personal data being sent to third parties either directly (e.g. through an active component linked to a banner or a tracking pixel) or indirectly by placing cookies that are accessible to other websites than those of the advertiser. For example, we use third-party cookies to collect information about how you use our website. We use this information to compile reports and help improve the website. Third-party cookies may store information about:

  • the pages you visit;
  • the time you spend on each page;
  • how you arrived at the site;
  • what you click on while visiting the site.

These securely stored cookies do not collect information that identifies a visitor. All information collected by these cookies is completely anonymous. We use such information only to improve our website. If you do not want all websites to track you, go to: tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.

  1. COOKIES ON OUR WEBSITE

6.1. The table below provides an overview of which cookies we use on our website, why we use them, and where they come from. We also indicate whether a cookie is a ‘permanent’ or ‘session’ cookie. The difference is that:

  • Permanent cookies remain on your device between browser sessions. They are activated each time you visit the website that created that specific cookie. For example, if a ‘permanent cookie’ is used on a website to remember your preferred language, you will not need to select this language every time you visit that website.
  • Session cookies allow us to link a user’s actions during a browser session. A browser session starts when you open the browser window and ends when you close it. Session cookies are created temporarily. After you close the browser, all session cookies are deleted.
