In the detailed list of our cookies you will find an overview of all the cookies we may place, classified by category. We also explain why we use these cookies and how long we keep them. You decide which Impact us today cookies can use for you. You can change your choice at any time.
1. What is a cookie?
Cookies are small information files that are sent to your browser when you visit a website and that your computer, smartphone or tablet stores. These files are read each time you visit this website. Information is stored in these files, such as your language preference for the website. This way, you don’t have to choose it again every time you visit.
In addition, Impact us today uses other techniques such as pixels and other technologies for its digital solutions. They have the same function as cookies: they ensure that your preferences can be stored and read.
The cookies that Impact us places today are:
- Sometimes temporary (session cookies): they are deleted when you close the browser or application
- Sometimes permanently: they stay until they expire or until you delete them. With permanent cookies, for example, you don’t always need to log in again.
- Sometimes first-party cookies: these are cookies used by an Impact us today domain
More information can also be found in the detailed list of cookies.
2. What cookies does Impact us use today and why?
Impact us distinguishes today 2 types of cookies:
Cookies necessary for the operation of the website
These are cookies that ensure the safe use of our websites and ensure the proper functioning of our digital solutions. These cookies are necessary, for example, to verify your identity when you log in, to set up communication between you and our digital solutions or to save your cookie settings.
You cannot refuse these cookies, as they are essential for our digital solutions to function optimally. You don’t have to give your permission for this.
Analytical cookies
These cookies collect information to map the number of visitors and the use of our digital solutions by all our visitors. They now enable Impact us to improve the content of our digital channels, better tailor digital channels to users’ needs, and increase overall usability.
This is done with answers to questions such as “How do visitors reach our digital solutions?” and “How long will our digital solutions be used?”.
3. How do you choose which cookies Impact places on us today?
We give you as much control as possible. Note: Do you refuse cookies? Second, some parts of our digital solutions are less tailored to your needs and preferences.
If you wish to use a feature of our applications that requires consent for a certain cookie, Impact us today will guide you in adjusting your cookie settings, if you wish.
Below are the different options.
Via websites
Are you visiting any of our websites for the first time? Then you can accept or reject cookies. Do you want to change your choice afterwards? Then click on “Change cookie choice” at the bottom of the website.
Via your browser
You can refuse the installation of cookies in your browser settings. How you can adjust these settings varies by browser. If necessary, consult the help function of your browser, or go to the manual of your browser via these links: Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox, Chromium and Safari.
In some browsers, you may also choose not to be tracked by websites (“Do Not Track”). Impact us today only takes into account its own cookie mechanism and does not support “Do not track”.
4. What about your privacy?
In every collaboration with third parties, Impact us has now entered into clear agreements with these third parties to protect your privacy.
If Impact us collects personal data via cookies today, this is always done in accordance with the Privacy Statement. That’s why Impact us today encourages you to read this statement as well. You can read that Impact us today, for example, uses cookie data to create models and statistics that they then apply generically, to you as an individual or at the level of your family or to another person.
Impact us today wants to adapt its services optimally to your needs and preferences. To do this, we add the personal data we collect through cookies to the information we already have about you. Conversely, we add a limited set of data (such as customer type, age group, gender…) from our systems to personalize digital solutions. Impact us today only does this if you allow us to use these cookies.
If you have accepted cookies for our digital solutions and later change your choice:
- Then Impact us today will stop storing new data from the moment you refuse cookies. If you subsequently change your choice of cookies and give your consent to use cookies again, Impact us today will add the new data to the previous one.
