4. Consent

For the placement and consultation of cookies on your end device through the Website, your consent is required unless it concerns the technical storage of information or the delivery of a service expressly requested by you, in which case the placement of a cookie is strictly necessary.

For functional or essential cookies, your consent is not required.

Your consent is required for non-functional or non-essential cookies. Your consent must:

  1. Be obtained before the cookies are placed. If your consent is not given, no cookies may be placed.

  3. Be explicit and active. Your consent is obtained by ticking the boxes in the cookie banner on our Website.
  4. Be specific, and thus obtained per cookie or per category of cookie.

Functional or essential cookies are necessary for the optimal functioning of our Website, to display certain graphic elements, etc. These cookies are technically necessary for the proper operation and security of the Website. Therefore, they are placed without your consent as they are within our legitimate interests, provided they 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 independent of the technical operation or support of our Website. These may include the following types of cookies:

  1. Analytical cookies: used to compile statistics on the number of visitors to the Website, popular web pages, etc.

5. Third-party cookies

Our Website uses first-party cookies (direct cookies) that are placed directly by our Website, as well as third-party cookies whose services are used (can be used) on the Website (third-party cookies) and are placed by a domain different from our Website's domain. This is also indicated in the second column of the table under Article 6.2 below.

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

Third-party cookies may facilitate the transmission of personal data to third parties either directly (e.g., through an active component linked to a banner or a spy pixel) or indirectly by placing cookies accessible to websites other than those of the advertiser.

For example, we use Google Analytics to gather information about how you use our Website. We use this information to compile reports and help us improve the Website.

Google Analytics stores information about:

  • The pages you visit.
  • The time you spend on each page.
  • How you came to 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 solely to enhance our Website.

 

6. The cookies on our website

The following table provides an overview of the cookies used on our Website, why we use them, and their sources. We also indicate whether a cookie is a 'persistent' or 'session' cookie. The difference is that:

  • Persistent 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 'persistent cookie' is used on a website to remember your language preference, you do not have to choose that language every time you visit the website.

  • Session cookies allow us to link a user's actions during a browsing session. A browsing session begins when you open the browser window and ends when you close the browser window. Session cookies are created temporarily. After you close the browser, all session cookies are deleted.
