Cookie Policy
Last updated: 3 November 2026
This policy explains how olbrechtsmedia.com uses cookies and similar technologies, in line with Article 10/2 of the Belgian Act of 30 July 2018, former Article 129 of the Electronic Communications Act of 13 June 2005, and the GDPR. For how we handle personal data in general, see our Privacy Policy. We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect, for example, changes to the cookies we use or for other operational or legal reasons.

2. What are cookies
What is a cookie?
A cookie is a small piece of data that a website stores on your device when you visit it, and which is then read when you later revisit the site. A cookie may contain information about the website itself, a unique identifier that allows the site to recognise your web browser when you return to the website, additional data that serves the purpose of the cookie, and the lifespan of the cookie itself.
What is the difference between "session cookies" and "persistent cookies"?
Session cookies only last as long as your online session. This means that they will disappear from your computer or device when you close your browser. They are therefore also sometimes referred to as temporary cookies.
Persistent cookies are different. These types of cookies will expire according to the time specified in the cookie, which can outlast your browsing session.
What is the difference between first party and third party cookies?
First party cookies are cookies that are set by the website that you are visiting, and only this website can access and read these cookies.
Third party cookies are set by someone other than the owner of the website you are visiting. As an example, some pages could have content from other sites like YouTube. Cookies set by other sites and companies (third parties) can in certain cases be used to track you on other websites that use the same third-party service. We recommend reading the third party's privacy policy.
