1. General
LACO NV (hereinafter “LACO”, “we”, “us”) uses cookies and similar technologies on its website. The aim of this cookie statement (hereinafter “Cookie Statement”) is to inform you as a visitor about the use of cookies on our website. This Cookie Statement applies to LACO’s website www.laco.be.
In addition to this Cookie Statement, LACO also provides a Privacy Statement, of which this Cookie Statement forms an integral part. In this Privacy Statement, we set out (1) which personal data we can collect by the use of cookies, (2) the legal bases for our use of cookies, and (3) the general purposes of our use of cookies. For the aforementioned information, and other information concerning the collection of your personal data in general and your rights in that regard, please refer to this Privacy Statement.
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. The term “cookies” also includes technologies similar to cookies, such as pixels, social plug-ins and certain scripts, as these may also collect data from you.
Cookies can be placed both by LACO itself (“first-party cookies”) and by third parties (“third-party cookies”). Third-party cookies ensure that when you visit or use our website, certain data is forwarded to the third party that placed the cookies.
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. For which cookies is my consent needed, and how can I give it?
In making its website available, LACO distinguishes the following types of cookies: (1) functional cookies, and (2) marketing cookies.
The use of functional cookies does not depend on your consent as a visitor. These cookies are necessary for the proper functioning of the website and, where relevant, to provide you with services that you explicitly requested. Therefore, you cannot refuse their use.
Before we place any cookies on your device that fall under the other categories mentioned above, we will ask for your prior consent via our cookie banner, as specified hereafter. When you press ‘accept all’, functional and marketing cookies will be placed on your device. When you press ‘confirm choices’, marketing cookies will not be placed on your device. Functional cookies are necessary for the website to work, and are therefore placed regardless your consent. You can, fully or partially, withdraw this consent at any time. To do so, please refer to the explanations under title 5.
