Cookie Policy
Cookies are small data or text files placed on your local computer by websites and applications. Such cookies can have different purposes: there are technical cookies (for example, to keep track of language settings), session cookies (temporary cookies that expire after one session) and tracking cookies (cookies that follow and track your behavior on the Internet in order to offer you a more optimal user experience).
The Belgian Electronic Communications Act of June 13, 2005 contains some provisions regarding cookies and their use on websites. The law is a transposition of the European e-Privacy Directive, which means that cookie legislation may be implemented differently in other European member states. Vanhemens.com is based in Belgium and therefore follows Belgian legislation on cookies.
