Cookie policy
1. Cookies
Cookies are small data or text files placed on your local computer by websites and applications. Such cookies can have different purposes: there are technical cookies (e.g. for keeping track of language settings), session cookies (temporary cookies that expire after a single session) and tracking cookies (cookies that follow and track your behaviour on the internet in order to provide you with a more optimal user experience).
The Belgian Electronic Communications Act of 13 June 2005 contains some provisions on cookies and their use on websites. The law is a transposition of the European e-Privacy Directive, which means that cookie legislation may be implemented differently in other European member states.
Biomedico is based in Belgium and therefore follows Belgian legislation on cookies.
