1. Cookies

Cookies are small data or text files placed on your local computer by websites and applications. Such cookies can serve different purposes: technical cookies (for example, to remember language settings), session cookies (temporary cookies that expire after one session), and tracking cookies (which follow and record your behaviour online in order to offer a more optimal user experience).

The Belgian Act on Electronic Communications of 13 June 2005 contains provisions regarding cookies and their use on websites. This Act transposes the European e-Privacy Directive, which means that cookie legislation may be implemented differently in other European Member States.

The Hazard Factory is established in Belgium and therefore complies with Belgian cookie legislation.
