What is a cookie?

A cookie is a small text and number file that we store in your browser or on your computer's hard drive. This allows us to remember your preferences when using our website. Unless you have adjusted your browser settings so that it will refuse cookies, our system will set cookies as soon as you visit our website.

Sorts of cookies on www.easylife-dc.be

Cookies can be subdivided according to their origin, their function and their lifetime.

• First-party cookies are those cookies placed by us on the easylife-dc.be domain. They ensure the proper functioning of our website and increase the quality of our Services.
• Third-party cookies are cookies that are placed by a different domain name than that of the website visited by the user. If a user visits a website and a third party places a cookie through that website, this is a third-party cookie. For cookies placed by third-parties, please refer to the statements made by these parties on their respective websites about them. Please note that we cannot exert any influence on the content of those statements nor on the content of the cookies of these third-parties. These anonymous cookies are there to make your user experience better and more personalized.

We can further divide the first- and third-party cookies into, among other things:

• Functional cookies are cookies that ensure that the website functions properly. They keep information about your choices and preferences on our website (e.g. cookies for remembering log-in or registration, remembering your language preference, remembering your products in your shopping cart,...). Functional cookies are logically first party cookies.
• Non-functional cookies are cookies that can be placed for statistical, social, targeting and commercial purposes. They have nothing to do with the mere technical support of the website. Non-functional cookies can be first-party or third-party cookies.
  • Cookies with static purposes allow tracking which pages of the website you visit, where your computer is located, etc. (Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, Hotjar,...).
  • Cookies with social purposes allow the user to directly share the content of the visited website with others via social media (Facebook, Twitter, Linkedin, YouTube,...).
  • Cookies with targeting purposes allow a profile to be built on the basis of your browsing behavior so that the ads shown are tailored to your interests (Facebook).
  • Cookies with commercial purposes track how many and which ads were shown to a user (Google Adwords and Bing ads).

Cookies can also be divided according to their lifespan:

• Permanent cookies: These cookies remain on the user's device for the duration defined in the cookie. They are activated each time the user visits the website that set this cookie (e.g. cookies set by social media such as Facebook, Google Analytics, etc). Most non-functional cookies are permanent cookies.
• Session cookies: These cookies allow us to simplify and link a user's actions during a browser session. A browser session begins when a user opens the browser window and ends when they close the browser window. Session cookies are placed temporarily. Once you close the browser, all session cookies are deleted. Most functional cookies are session cookies.

On your first visit to our website, you will be asked to accept our different types of cookies. You block cookies by activating the browser setting that allows you to refuse the setting of cookies. However, if you use your browser settings to block those cookies, you may not be able to access (certain parts of) our website. Please read this cookie policy carefully for more information. If at any point you wish to withdraw your consent, you must delete your cookies using your browser settings. Section 9.5 explains the steps you need to take to do this.

Deleting or disabling cookies

If you do not want websites to place cookies on your computer or you want to delete your cookies, you can change your cookie settings in your web browser. These settings are usually found in the "Options" or "Preferences" menu of your Web browser. You can also change your settings so that your browser refuses all cookies or only third-party cookies. Unfortunately, if you do not want to use cookies, we cannot guarantee that our website will work properly. For example, it is possible that some functions of the web shop may be lost or that you may not be able to see certain pages at all. In addition, refusing cookies does not mean that you will no longer see any advertisements. It's just that the ads will no longer be tailored to your interests and will be repeated more often. How to adjust your settings varies from one browser to another. To better understand these settings, the following links may be helpful. If not, you should consult the 'Help' function in your web browser for more details.
