1. GENERAL
The website www.dgdm.wemake.site (referred to below as the “Website”) uses cookies and similar technologies. The aim of this cookie statement (referred to below as the “Cookie Statement”) is to inform you, as a visitor, about their use.
In addition to this Cookie Statement, De Groote – De Man (referred to below as “DGDM”, “we”, “us”) also provides a Privacy Statement, of which this Cookie Statement forms an integral part, and which is available here. For the collection and further processing of your personal data in general and your rights in that regard, please refer to this Privacy Statement. This Cookie Statement provides details on the specific way in which we use cookies on our Website.
We would like to remind you that, as a visitor to our Website, you do not have to accept all cookies. Accepting cookies is not a prerequisite for visiting the Website. However, if you decline them, this might cause certain features of our Website and additional services not to function optimally (see also section 5: Setting your cookie preferences).
2. WHAT ARE COOKIES?
Cookies are small information files that are stored by the internet browser on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website or when you use a (mobile) application. They function as a kind of reminder for a website. Thanks to cookies our Website can easily keep track of specific information about our visitors and their surfing behaviour.
Cookies can be placed both by the Website itself (“first-party cookies”) and by domain names that belong to third parties (“third-party cookies”). For each third-party cookie, we will indicate the domain name it comes from in section 4.
Cookies are sometimes placed temporarily (“session cookies”, these are deleted when you close the browser) and sometimes permanently (“persistent cookies”, which remain until they expire or until you delete them).
3. WHAT DO WE USE COOKIES FOR?
DGDM uses the 3 types of cookies listed below. Hereunder we explain what purpose these cookies serve. The use of the functional cookies does not depend on your consent as a visitor. Therefore you cannot refuse their use.
Before we place any cookies on your device that fall under the other categories, we will ask for your prior consent via our cookie banner. You can give your consent for these cookies by clicking on the acceptance button integrated in the cookie banner. You also have the option to give your consent or not separately for each category of cookies by clicking the “set preferences” button.
In addition, you can withdraw your consent at any time, in full or for a specific category of cookies. For more information about managing your cookie preferences, we refer to the explanation under title 5.
A. FUNCTIONAL COOKIES
Functional cookies are necessary in order for our Website to function properly. These allow you, for example, to save your language and cookie preferences for later visits. The information in question is necessary for the practical use of the Website.
B. ANALYTICAL COOKIES
Analytical cookies allow us to find out more about how you, as a visitor, interact with and respond to the content of our Website. That helps us to further improve the design of our Website. The information in question is used to create and analyse overall web statistics.
C. MARKETING, TRACKING COOKIES AND SIMILAR TECHNOLOGIES
The marketing and tracking cookies that we use mainly concern the use of advertising cookies that can be placed by both DGDM and third parties. In addition to cookies, this third category includes similar technologies, such as social plug-ins and pixels. They also collect information from you and enable us, for example, to redirect you to the Website, after an initial visit, via advertisements that appear on social networks you visit.
