What are cookies?
Cookies are small data or text files placed on your local computer, tablet, smartphone or other mobile device by websites.

Belgian legislation contains a number of provisions regarding cookies and their use on websites. The Belgian implementation is based on the European e-Privacy Directive, but the use of cookies and cookie legislation are regulated differently in each European country.
You can also find more information about data retention in the privacy policy.
