In this cookie statement, we explain what cookies are, which ones we use, how to change your choice and how we safeguard your privacy. We also explain why we use these cookies and how long we keep them. You decide which cookies we can use for you. You can change your choice at any time.

What are cookies?
Cookies are small information files that are sent to your browser when you visit a website or use an app and that are stored on your computer, smartphone or tablet. These files are read every time you visit this website or use the app. These files store information, such as your language preference for the website. That way you don't have to choose it every time you visit.

In addition, Gillekens & Mommaerts BV for its digital solutions also uses other techniques such as pixels, SDKs and other technologies. They have the same function as cookies: they ensure that your preferences can be saved and read.

The cookies that are used by Gillekens & Mommaerts BV are:

Sometimes temporary (session cookies): they are deleted when you close the browser or app
Sometimes permanent: they remain until they expire or until you delete them. For example, with permanent cookies you do not always have to log in again
