We have therefore provided as much information as possible below.

This cookie policy of Macnash AssociateS (hereinafter 'Cookie Policy') describes the different types of cookies and other techniques used in connection with the website owned and operated by Macnash AssociateS from which you can access this cookie policy (hereinafter 'Website'). Depending on the website you visit, our Privacy Policy will apply in addition to this Cookie Policy.

This Cookie Policy applies to the macnash.be website and all related sites of Macnash AssociateS.

WHAT ARE COOKIES?

A cookie is a text file that is stored on your computer, tablet, smartphone or any device connected to the internet when you visit a website.

Each time you visit that website (or another website associated with the same legal entity), the (web) server reads the information in the cookie previously stored on your device.

In addition to cookies, other technologies with similar functions may be used on our websites.

In this policy, the term 'cookies' includes all technologies that enable the storage and reading of information on your device.

Our website contains cookies that are only used to enable the operation of the website and to optimise your user experience.

WHAT ARE OTHER TECHNOLOGIES?

JavaScripts, web beacons, Local and Session Storage and SDKs are standard internet techniques that, together with cookies, allow a system to collect information (e.g. JavaScripts), store it in small, simple text files (cookies) and then send it (e.g. web beacons).

Why do we use cookies?

Macnash uses cookies which are essential for the use of the website. Cookies allow us to improve your user experience (e.g. to remember your language preferences) and collect statistics to optimise the website.

The use of cookies requires your prior and express consent. If you refuse, you can still access the website, but you can no longer benefit from some functions. You can change your choice at any time.

Some cookies are essential for using the site or activating specific functions of the website. Cookies intended to establish the transmission of a communication or strictly necessary for the provision of a functionality expressly requested by the user are exempt from the requirement for consent.

THIRD-PARTY COOKIES

Cookies are downloaded by your internet browser when you first visit the Website. The next time you visit the Website from the same device, the cookie and the information stored therein are sent back to the site that generated the cookie (first-party cookie) or sent to another website to which the cookie belongs (third-party cookie).   

These third-party providers (third parties) set cookies when you are logged in to their pages and visit our Website.  We have no influence on the cookie settings of third-party websites. The use of cookies by other companies is subject to the privacy and cookie policy of the relevant company. Please consult the websites of third-party providers for more information on how they use cookies.   

First-party and third-party cookies enable the Website to recognise whether you have already accessed the Website via this browser and in many cases this then causes the displayed content to vary. If you reject the use of all cookies, neither first-party cookies nor third-party cookies will be used. No distinction will be made between the two types of cookies.

HOW LONG ARE COOKIES STORED IN MY BROWSER?

Cookies, depending on their lifespan, can be divided into session cookies (temporary cookies) and persistent cookies (permanent cookies).

Some cookies are only valid for the duration of your browser session. They expire and are automatically deleted when you close your internet browser. These cookies are called session cookies.

Other cookies do not expire when you close your browser and are called persistent cookies. They are stored until they expire or until you delete them. Persistent cookies have a specific expiry period that differs depending on the type of cookie. You can find these further in the Cookie Policy.

WHAT KIND OF COOKIES DO WE USE?

Below we list the different types of cookies we and third parties use on the Website: functional cookies, analytical cookies and advertising cookies.

Functional cookies

These cookies are essential to make the site work properly. These cookies cannot be switched off. Because strictly necessary cookies have little to no privacy impact on you as a visitor, we do not need to ask permission to place these cookies. They are cookies that:

1. are used exclusively for transmitting communication over the internet;

2. are necessary for the correct functioning of our Website;

3. to remember your chosen settings of our Website such as language preference or already completed question forms;

3. which are strictly necessary to provide you with the service you have expressly requested (i.e. if these cookies are disabled, we cannot provide you with the service you have expressly requested).

Analytical cookies

These cookies are used to provide us with statistical information about the performance of our Website (e.g. to identify which pages visitors go to most often). In principle, these cookies do not collect information that identifies a visitor. All information collected by these cookies is aggregated and therefore anonymous. It is only used to improve the functioning of the Website. Analytical cookies are important for optimising the Website. These cookies will only be used if you give us permission.

Advertising cookies

These cookies allow us to tailor the Website precisely to your needs. They allow us to track your browsing behaviour on our Website and other digital channels. This enables us and third parties to show you personalised content. Through advertising cookies, we ensure that the advertisements you see on both our Website and third-party websites are tailored to your interests. These cookies allow us to create a customer segment based on your interests, for example. We also link this information to various devices you use. This category also contains social media cookies. These cookies are used to share the content of our Website via social media. You can also follow us on social media. We only use advertising cookies if you have given your consent. If you do not give your consent or disable advertising cookies, advertisements will still be shown, but they will be random advertisements.

For the cookies of advertising partners and media agencies, please refer to the privacy and cookie statements on the websites of these parties.
