What is a cookie?

A cookie is a text file which contains a small amount of information and which is stored on the device (computer browser, smartphone or other device) of the user by the server of the visited website.

However, it is not necessary to authorize the use of cookies in your browser to be able to access the site.

There are cookies, which contain personal information (for example, username if they click on the "remember me" tab). But most cookies do not collect personal information and will instead collect more general information (how the user arrived on the site and uses the site, the general location of the user).

Thanks to certain cookies, we can interconnect user activities on the site until the user closes the browser. These cookies are automatically deleted by closing the browser window.

Other cookies remain in the user's browser or device for the configured period and are reactivated on each visit to the site. The length of time that cookies are stored in the browser or user's device depends on the configuration of the cookies themselves as well as on the browser. We keep the data obtained by the cookie files for a maximum of 1 year.

Why do we use cookies?

    We use cookies on korina.be for a number of reasons:
  • They allow a website to recognize a user's device.
  • They improve the user experience.
  • They allow login user data to be remembered that the user does not have to enter repeatedly.
  • They allow the Site to be adapted as well as possible to user requests.

During the first visit to the Site, information relating to privacy and consent to the use of cookies will appear in a "cookie banner" on the home page. If you continue to actively use the Site and if you do not actively oppose the use of cookies, you consent to the use of cookies by Korina.be and your consent will be stored in your browser. Thus, the information in the "cookie banner" should not be reproduced on each page of the Site or during a next connection. In the event that your consent is no longer saved in your browser (for example if your cookies are deleted), the "cookie banner" will reappear on your next visit to the Site.

What types of cookies do we use?

    2 main types of cookies that we use on korina.be:

  • Long-lasting, so-called "persistent cookies", remaining in your browser or device for a certain period of time or until you delete them manually.
    Cookies can also be divided according to their operation:
  • Essential cookies, which are technical and functional cookies, important for the basic functioning of websites. This category of cookies should not be disabled. If a user chooses to make these cookies inactive, he will not be able to access all the content of the pages visited. For example, some cookies allow us to identify the user and ensure that the user can access the registration or log into pages.
  • Analytical cookies, helping us to increase the convenience of using our site by identifying how it is used. They also allow us to analyze the performance of various sales channels. These cookies collect information about how visitors use the website, for example which pages visitors look at most often and whether they receive error messages from certain pages. These cookies do not collect information that identifies you. All the information that these cookies collect is anonymous and only used to improve the functioning of the website.
  • Third-party cookies, these cookies may collect information that can then be used by third parties and, for example, directly supporting our advertising activities (so-called “third-party cookies”).

However, the code “gat_anonymiseIp (); Has been added to Google Analytics on the Site to provide anonymous recording of IP addresses, known as "IP masking". The anonymization of the IP address by Google on the Site truncates your IP address in the territories of the European Union and the European Economic Area. The full IP address will be sent to Google's server in the USA only in exceptional cases. It will then be truncated there. Google will use this information on behalf of Korina.be in order to analyze your use of the Site, compile reports on Site activity and provide Korina.be with other services relating to the Site and Internet use. . The IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google Analytics is not combined with other data from Google.

The ability to allow, refuse or delete cookies can also be provided at the browser level. To achieve this, follow the instructions provided by your browser (usually located under the "Help", "Tools" and "Edit" tab).
