Cookie Policy

Cookies

Cookies are small data or text files that websites and applications place on your local computer. Such cookies have different purposes: technical cookies (e.g. to keep track of language settings), session cookies (temporary cookies that expire after one session), and tracking cookies (cookies that follow and track your behaviour on the Internet so you are provided with a more optimal user experience).

The Belgian Electronic Communications Act of 13 June 2005 contains several provisions relating to cookies and their use on websites. The law is a transposition of the European e-Privacy Directive, which means that the cookie legislation can be implemented differently in other European Member States. Ceusters is located in Belgium and as such follows Belgian legislation regarding cookies.

If you prefer not to have the cookies, as a visitor you are free to disable them by changing the settings of your browser (‘Management of cookies’).
