1. Introduction

vanhool.be uses its own cookies (“first party cookies”) and cookies from third parties whose services are or may be used on the website (“third party cookies”).
We would like to inform you about the use of these cookies in the overview below.
We emphasise that certain media will not be available if you do not accept the relevant cookies

2. What are cookies?

A cookie is a simple, small file containing personal data that is sent with the pages of vanhool.be and stored by your browser on the hard drive of your computer or other device. The information collected therein may be sent back to our servers or those of the relevant third party during a subsequent visit.

Cookies are also taken to mean so-called “scripts”. A script is programming code that is used to make our website function optimally and interactively.

Finally, the term “cookies” also covers “web beacons”, “pixel tags” or “social media cookies”. These are used for the integration of various social networking sites at vanhool.be. Third-party embedded elements, or in other words content stored with a third party, may also be displayed on our website. In addition, the content of vanhool.be can be shared via social networking sites by means of the buttons available on the various pages. Examples of such social network sites are Facebook, Google+, WhatsApp, Instagram, YouTube, LinkedIn, Disqus and Twitter.

The processing of functional cookies is based on our legitimate interest, as the functional cookies are required for the proper functioning and security of vanhool.be. The other cookies will not be installed unless vanhool.be has your permission.

3. Types of cookies

First party cookies are cookies installed directly by the website at vanhool. be.

Third-party cookies are cookies installed on vanhool.be by third parties, particularly when vanhool. be incorporates elements from other websites.

3.2. Lifetime

Session cookies: simplify and link the user's actions during the browsing session. These cookies are temporarily installed each time you open the browser window. Session cookies are deleted as soon as the browser is closed.

3.3. Function/purpose:

Functional cookies: ensure that all parts of the website function optimally. These are cookies that are necessary for the proper functioning and security of the website, such as cookies for load balancing (i.e. the distribution of requests to a web server across a number of computers), and for the adjustment of the user interface (in particular the choice of language and the display of search results). These cookies can be installed without permission.

Non-functional cookies: are installed for statistical, social and commercial purposes and are independent of the technical support of vanhool.be and do not meet the conditions for being exempt from the consent requirement. Your explicit consent is required for the installation of these cookies.

(Non-functional) technical cookies ensure that your user preferences remain known. vanhool.be is therefore easily accessible and you do not have to enter the same information each time you visit the site.

Analytics cookies show how you use vanhool.be. A statistical analysis is made on the basis of this collected information, to improve the structure, navigation and content of vanhool.be and make it more user-friendly.

 Marketing cookies are used to personalise online advertising. Using a profile drawn up on the basis of your click and surfing behaviour on the site, both vanhool.be and third parties gain insight into campaign performance.

These include social media cookies . These cookies make it possible to include buttons from social networking sites. The buttons work via a code from these sites. Features such as “likes” and “pins” are a handy tool to promote web pages.
If social networking sites install these cookies to collect your data through vanhool.be, vanhool.be has no influence on the use of this data or the way they handle it. You can find more information about this in the privacy statements of the social networking sites, which appear on the list of active cookies below. Please note that these privacy statements may be changed by the social networking sites at any time.
