2. What are cookies and what are they used for?

 

2.1. Cookies are small data files that are stored by the browser on the hard drive of your computer or device when you visit and/or consult a website or use a (mobile) application, thereby saving certain user information. Cookie files contain unique codes that, for example, allow your browser to recognize you during your visit to the website, thereby improving your user experience. Cookies facilitate the interaction between the visitor and a website and are used to enhance the user experience and collect statistics among website visitors. Cookies also ensure that your personal settings and preferences are saved, or that media content (audio/video) can be played. Certain cookies may be placed by a third party to measure website usage.

4. Consent

 

4.1. Your consent is required for placing and consulting cookies on your terminal equipment 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.

• No consent is required for functional or essential cookies.

• Consent IS required for non-functional or non-essential cookies. In this case, your consent must be:

  • Obtained before the cookies are placed. If your consent is not given, no cookies may be placed;

  • Informed, which is why we inform you about the various cookies via this policy;

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

  • Specific, and thus obtained per cookie or per cookie category.

 

4.2. 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. Consequently, these cookies are placed without your consent as they fall under our legitimate interests, provided 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 separate from the technical operation or support of our website. These include, for example:

• a. Analytical cookies: These cookies are used to compile statistics on the number of website visitors, the most popular web pages, etc. These cookies reflect 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 performed on the information received 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 in a general manner on our services or within the framework of research in which we participate. No personal data is transferred in this process. The consent of each visitor is required for placing these cookies.

• b. Marketing cookies: These cookies personalize the online advertisement offering.

• c. Social media cookies: These cookies offer the possibility to integrate buttons from social networking sites. The buttons work via code originating from these sites—a handy tool for promoting web pages, such as 'liking' and 'pinning'.

 

4.3. If you have given 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 removed. You can do this via: https://support.wix.com/en/article/clearing-wix-cookies-from-your-browser.

 

You can withdraw your consent for our cookies at any time, even if you previously granted it. However, please remember that if you do not agree to some of our cookies, your user experience may be affected.

 

 

5. Third-party cookies

 

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

 

5.2. First-party cookies do not involve the transfer of personal data to third parties, but they may utilize a third-party processor, e.g., to generate statistics. Your consent is also required for placing first-party analytical cookies.

 

5.3. Third-party cookies allow personal data to be 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 websites other than the advertiser's.

For instance, we use third-party cookies to collect information about how you use our website. We use this information to compile reports and to help us improve the website.

​

Among other things, third-party cookies 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 only use such information to improve our website. 

 

 

6. The cookies on our website

 

6.1. The table below provides an overview of the cookies we use on our website, why we use them, and where they originate from. We also indicate whether a cookie is a 'persistent' or a 'session' cookie. The difference is that:

For example, if a 'persistent cookie' is used on a website to remember your preferred language, you will not need to choose that 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. Once you close the browser, all session cookies are deleted.
