Cookie policy
FEB uses cookies to improve the interactivity and contents of its website and the quality of its services.
What are cookies?
Cookies are small information files that are sent to your browser by the website you are connecting to. Your browser stores each cookie for a specific period of time. Each time you return to the same website, your browser will return the cookie(s) to the website. By doing so, the website recognises your browser. Cookies can be used for various applications, for example to remember your language preference, to ensure the website's graphics appear correctly or the correct functioning of a web application, to trace your browsing for statistical or advertising purposes, etc.
How long are cookies stored?
Cookies generally have an expiry date. For example, some cookies disappear automatically when you close your browser ('session cookies'), while others remain on your computer for a longer period of time, sometimes even until you manually delete them ('persistent cookies').
What types of cookies are there?
Internal cookies (these cookies are placed for and/or by FEB)
The FEB website places three types of cookies:
- Technical cookies. These cookies are necessary for solely technical purposes in connection with the use of the website. These cookies are placed as soon as you enter the FEB website.
- Functional cookies. They ensure the optimal functioning of the FEB website. You can refuse or delete them using your browser settings, but your browsing experience will be significantly poorer.
- Analytical cookies. These cookies allow for further analysis, such as the statistics related to visits to the website, a specific page or an advertising message. We only use this information to improve the contents of our website or to launch a new campaign on a specific topic of interest.
The use of analytical cookies requires your prior authorisation. You can therefore refuse to allow these cookies to be placed on your device.
Third party cookies to improve the interactivity of the website
The FEB website uses features offered by third parties such as Google, YouTube, LinkedIn and Facebook. These features use third-party cookies that may be placed directly by these services when you visit the FEB website. You will find more information about the various third-party cookies in the list of third-party cookies.
Setting and managing your cookie preferences
During your first visit to www.feb.be/en, a banner informs you of the presence of cookies and invites you to indicate which cookies you accept or refuse. Functional, analytical and third party cookies are only placed if you accept them.
You can consult and modify your preferences for our site at any time via the Cookie Management page. You will find it at the bottom of each page of our website.
