1. Cookies
Cookies are small data or text files that websites and applications put on your local computer. Such cookies can have various purposes: there are technical cookies (to keep a record of language settings, for example), session cookies (temporary cookies that expire after one session) and tracking cookies (cookies that follow your behaviour on the internet to be able to offer you a more optimal user experience in that way).
The Belgian Act on Electronic Communication of 13 June 2005 contains a few provisions on cookies and how they are used on websites. The Act is a transposition of the European e-Privacy Directive, which means that cookie legislation can be implemented differently in other European Member States.
Jacops nv is established in Belgium and therefore follows the Belgian legislation regarding cookies.
