1. Cookies

Cookies are small files containing data or text that are stored on your local computer by internet sites or applications. Cookies can serve a number of purposes. For example, a distinction can be made between functional cookies, (for example, when you choose a language or when you add an item to your “basket”), (temporary) session cookies, and tracking cookies (that analyse and record the behaviour that you exhibit on the website in question in order to offer you an optimal experience).

The Belgian law of 13 June 2005 on electronic communications contain some provisions relative to cookies and their use on websites. The enforcement of the Belgian law is derived from the European e-Privacy directive, which means that the use of cookies and their regulation at the national level differs depending on the European country.
