Welcome to the Cookies Policy of the DPE International Consulting SRL website, provided with Tax Identification No. BE 0718.598.764, where we explain the necessary issues so that you can have control over them based on your personal decisions.

WHAT ARE COOKIES AND WHAT DO WE USE THEM FOR?

A cookie is a small data file that is stored on your device every time you visit our website.

In principle, a cookie is harmless: it does not contain viruses, Trojans, worms, etc. that could damage your terminal, but it does have a certain impact on your right to the protection of your personal data, as it collects certain information concerning you (browsing habits, identity, preferences, etc.). That is why, based on the provisions of the applicable regulations (LSSI and current personal data protection regulations), the activation of certain types of cookies will require your prior authorisation.  

1/ Cookies can be of various types depending on their purpose:

– Technical cookies are necessary for our website to function, they do not require your authorisation and are the only ones we have activated by default.

– The other cookies are used to improve our website, to personalise it based on your preferences, or to be able to show you advertising tailored to your searches, tastes and personal interests. You can accept all these cookies by clicking on the ACCEPT button or configure them or reject their use by clicking on the COOKIE CONFIGURATION section.

2/ Some cookies are ours (we will call them our own cookies) and others belong to external companies that provide services for our website (we will call them third-party cookies: an example could be cookies from external providers such as Google). Some of these external providers may be located outside Belgium.

Globally, not all countries have the same level of data protection, with some countries being more secure than others (for example, the European Union is a secure environment for your data). Our policy is to use reliable providers who, whether or not they are located in the European Union, have adopted appropriate safeguards for the protection of your personal information. However, in the section entitled WHAT TYPES OF COOKIES ARE CURRENTLY USED ON OUR WEBSITE, you can consult the different privacy and data protection policies of each of the aforementioned external suppliers, in order to make an informed decision about whether or not to activate the third-party cookies used by our website.  

3/ Depending on the length of time they remain active, cookies can be of two types:

– Session cookies: they expire automatically when you end the session on your device. They are usually used to retain the necessary information while a service is provided to you on a single occasion.

– Persistent cookies: these remain stored on your device for a certain period of time, which can vary from a few minutes to several years.
