Cookie Policy

1. General

Atrac (hereafter referred to as “Atrac”, “we”) mainly uses cookies to record your surfing experience on http://www.atrac.be (hereafter referred to as the Website”). All data that Atrac collects from its cookies is anonymous and is only used to understand the customer experience on the Website with the purpose of improving the performance and usability of this Website.

Atrac is entitled to update this cookie policy by publishing a new version on the Website. It is therefore strongly advised to regularly check the Website and the relative page on which the cookie policy is displayed to be certain that you are familiar with any changes. As soon as a new cookie policy comes into effect you will again be asked for permission for the use of cookies.

2. What is a cookie?

A cookie, also known as an HTTP cookie, a web cookie or a browser cookie, is usually a small text file sent from a website and saved in the web browser or on the user’s appliance while a user is surfing a website or using a mobile application. When the user goes to the same website in the future, the data saved in the cookie can be collected by the website to inform the website of the user’s previous activity. Cookies were designed as a reliable mechanism for websites to remember the status of the website or the past activity of the user. They help us to optimise your visit to the Website, to remember technical choices (for example language choice, a newsletter, etc.) and to display more relevant services and offers. If you want to visit the Website, Atrac advises you to allow the cookies. But if you prefer not to do this you are always free to refuse them.

Cookies can remember: clicks on certain buttons, logging in or a recording of the pages visited by the user, and this even months or years ago. Although cookies cannot contain viruses and cannot install malware on the guest computer, tracking cookies and particularly third-party tracking cookies are often used as ways to compile long-term data on a browser history of individuals – a big privacy concern that was a cause for European and American lawmakers to take action in 2011. This cookie statement is in accordance with current Belgian law (Law of 10/07/2012 for the establishment of provisions concerning electronic communication, Belgian Official Journal 20/9/2012).

This Website uses different types of cookies:

• The strictly necessary cookies: As the name implies, these cookies are strictly necessary to enable you to surf the Website or use the Platform or certain functions which you have requested.

  • Cookies for functionality: These cookies improve the functionality of the Website by saving your preferences.
  • Tracking cookies: These cookies last longer than user sessions. When the Max-Age of a permanent cookie is set to one year, in that year the initial value included in the cookie will be sent back to the server each time the user visits the server. This is done to save essential information such as how the user first arrived on the Website. This is why they are also called tracking cookies. For example, when you have selected your required language, the Website will save your preference as a permanent cookie in your browser. When you visit the Website again, the Website will use the permanent cookie to ensure that the content is supplied in the language you selected.
  • Performance cookies: These cookies help to improve the performance of the Website and therefore provide a better user experience. Atrac makes use of Google Analytics, a popular web analysis service offered by Google Inc. Google Analytics uses cookies to help Atrac analyse how users use the Website. It registers the number of visitors and gives Atrac information about their general behaviour – such as the typical duration of a visit to the Website or the number of pages that a user views on average.
  • Third party cookies: To support its communication Atrac has put its content on social media channels such as YouTube, Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn, while Atrac also makes use of the sharing possibilities on social networks. The channels that Atrac uses can contain cookies from these websites and Atrac has no control over them. You must see the relevant websites of these third parties for more information about these cookies.
