Cookie Policy

Cookies are small text files that are stored on your device (computer, tablet, or smartphone) when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently, provide a better user experience, and give website owners useful information.

Cookies can be "first-party" (set by the website you are visiting) or "third-party" (set by other domains through content embedded on the website, such as analytics tools or social media plugins).

Cookies can also be classified by their duration: "session cookies" are deleted when you close your browser, while "persistent cookies" remain on your device for a set period or until you delete them.

Our use of cookies is governed by the following regulations:

• EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) - Regulation (EU) 2016/679
• ePrivacy Directive - Directive 2002/58/EC as amended by Directive 2009/136/EC
• Belgian Act of 13 June 2005 on Electronic Communications
• Belgian Data Protection Authority (GBA/APD) Cookie Guidance (October 2023)

We categorize the cookies on our website into four main groups based on their purpose. Below you will find detailed information about each category.

These cookies are essential for the website to function properly and cannot be switched off in our systems. They are usually only set in response to actions made by you which amount to a request for services, such as setting your privacy preferences, logging in, or filling in forms.

You can set your browser to block or alert you about these cookies, but some parts of the site will not work. These cookies do not store any personally identifiable information.

We use privacy-preserving analytics tools that operate without cookies. Vercel Analytics and Sentry collect anonymous data to help us improve our website without tracking you. No analytics cookies are placed on your device.

We do not currently use any marketing or advertising cookies. We do not track visitors across websites or display targeted advertisements.

Preference cookies enable the website to remember choices you make (such as display settings) and provide enhanced, personalized features. These cookies are only placed with your consent.

Some cookies are placed by third-party services that appear on our pages. We do not control these cookies. The third parties who set these cookies have their own privacy and cookie policies.

You have several options for managing cookies:

• Google Chrome: chrome://settings/cookies
• Mozilla Firefox: about:preferences#privacy
• Safari: Preferences > Privacy
• Microsoft Edge: edge://settings/privacy
• Opera: opera://settings/cookies

If you choose to block all cookies, please note that:

• Some features of our website may not function properly
• Your language preference will not be saved
• You may need to manually select your language each visit
• We will not be able to remember your cookie preferences
• The website experience may be less personalized

Your cookie consent is valid for 180 days (approximately 6 months) from the date you provide it. After this period, we will ask for your consent again.

This duration is in line with Belgian Data Protection Authority guidance recommending that consent be refreshed at least every 6 to 12 months.

You can withdraw your consent at any time by adjusting your cookie preferences or by deleting cookies from your browser.

Some browsers include a "Do Not Track" (DNT) feature that signals to websites that you do not want your online activity tracked. There is currently no uniform standard for how websites should respond to DNT signals.

Our website does not currently respond to DNT signals. However, you can manage your privacy preferences using the cookie consent banner and browser settings as described above.

• Right to access: You can request information about the data we have collected
