Cookie Policy
Cookies are small text files that can be stored on your computer when you visit websites.
A cookie, what is that?
A text file stores information, such as your language preference for a website. When you visit the website again later, this cookie is sent to the website again. In this way, the website recognizes your browser and can remember your language preference, for example.
Cookies usually also have an expiration date. For example, some cookies are automatically deleted when you close your browser (so-called session cookies), while others remain on your computer for a longer period of time, sometimes even until you delete them manually (so-called permanent cookies).
However, other tracking mechanisms may also fall under the “cookie legislation” (see the broad definition in Article 10/2 of the Act of 30 July 2018 on the protection of natural persons with regard to the processing of personal data (“Framework Act”)).
This includes tracking in applications on the smartphone, but also other techniques such as the use of a pixel, device fingerprinting, local storage, etc. The Data Protection Authority only uses (in addition to strictly necessary cookies) a privacy-friendly analysis tool (see below).
Why do we use cookies?
The GBA, which is the administrator of this website, uses three types of tracking mechanisms on https://parfumstaaltjes.be :
- strictly necessary technical cookies;
- strictly necessary functional cookies;
- a privacy-friendly analysis tool.
The GBA uses strictly necessary cookies to manage the content of its website. These cookies are necessary for the proper functioning of this website. You cannot refuse these cookies if you want to visit our websites.
The GBA also uses "Plausible" for analytical purposes. This open source analysis tool captures certain data (see the table at https://plausible.io/data-policy). If you give us your permission, this data is used to generate aggregated statistics. This tells us, among other things, how many times a certain page is read. We only use this information to improve the content of our website or as a starting point for a new campaign on a certain topic that is of great interest.
The (limited) data used in this context remains in the European Union (Estonia and Germany). The data is also not shared with other parties or recipients. It is encrypted and the principle of data minimization is strictly adhered to.
