2. What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files that may be stored on your computer, tablet or mobile device when you visit a website. They help websites function correctly, remember your preferences or collect information about how the website is used.
Some cookies are deleted when you close your browser. These are known as session cookies. Other cookies remain on your device for a defined period or until you delete them. These are known as persistent cookies.
In this Cookie Notice, the term “cookies” also covers similar technologies, such as pixels, tags, scripts, tracking links, device identifiers and local storage, where applicable.
3. What cookies do we use?
3.1 Strictly necessary cookies
Strictly necessary cookies are required for the technical operation, security and proper functioning of this website.
They may be used to:
display pages correctly;
enable secure navigation;
remember your cookie preferences;
ensure that forms function correctly;
prevent misuse or fraudulent activity;
maintain the security and stability of the website;
provide a service or function that you have expressly requested.
These cookies may be placed without your prior consent because the website cannot function properly without them.
You can configure your browser to block these cookies, but certain parts of the website may then stop working correctly.
3.2 Preference cookies
Preference cookies allow the website to remember choices that make it easier to use, such as your language, display settings or other preferences.
Where these cookies are not strictly necessary to provide a service you have requested, they are placed only after you have given your consent.
3.3 Analytics cookies
Analytics cookies help us understand how visitors use the website. They may provide information about which pages are visited, how visitors move through the website and whether technical problems occur.
We use this information to evaluate and improve the website, its content and the visitor experience.
Analytics cookies that are not strictly necessary are placed only after you have given your consent.
3.4 Marketing cookies
The House of Braine does not currently use cookies for personalised advertising or remarketing.
Should this change in the future, this Cookie Notice, the cookie preference centre and the relevant cookie settings will be updated before such cookies are introduced. Marketing cookies will not be activated without the required prior consent.
3.5 The FEA platform and third-party services
This website operates through the digital platform and infrastructure of FEA (Female Entrepreneurs Association). The House of Braine works with FEA to provide its online services and professional communications.
Certain cookies or similar technologies may be placed through the FEA platform as part of the website’s technical infrastructure. Cookies that are strictly necessary for the operation, security or functionality of the website may be activated without prior consent. Non-essential cookies are activated only after the required consent has been obtained.
The House of Braine also uses FEA’s email communication services for newsletters and professional communications. These services may use technologies that register whether an email was opened or whether a link in an email was selected.
Where required by applicable law, these tracking technologies are used only with the appropriate consent or another valid legal basis. You can unsubscribe from professional email communications at any time through the unsubscribe link included in the relevant email or by contacting [email protected].
Other third-party services may be used for website hosting, forms, transactions, analytics, security, document storage or embedded content. The providers and technologies that are active on the website are identified in the cookie preference centre or the cookie inventory associated with this Cookie Notice.
Where technically possible, non-essential third-party content and technologies are blocked until you have given the required consent.
4. When do we ask for your consent?
Strictly necessary cookies do not require your prior consent.
For all non-essential cookies and similar technologies, we ask for your consent through the cookie banner before they are activated.
Your consent must be freely given, specific, informed and unambiguous. Non-essential cookie categories are not preselected.
Through the cookie banner or preference centre, you can:
accept all non-essential cookies;
reject all non-essential cookies;
make a separate choice for each available purpose or category;
review or change your preferences at any time;
withdraw your consent at any time.
Refusing non-essential cookies will not prevent you from accessing the website’s essential content and services. You will not be disadvantaged for refusing them.
The options to accept and reject non-essential cookies are presented in an equally clear and accessible manner.
5. Managing your preferences
You can review or change your cookie preferences at any time through the “Manage cookie preferences” link in the footer of this website.
Through this link, you can:
see which cookie categories are available;
review the purpose of each category;
accept or refuse optional categories;
change a previous choice;
withdraw your consent.
Withdrawing your consent does not affect the lawfulness of any processing carried out before your consent was withdrawn.
Your cookie choices may be stored in a strictly necessary cookie so that the website can remember them. You may be asked to make a new choice when the consent period expires, when the cookies or purposes used on the website change, or when you delete cookies from your browser.
6. How long are cookies retained?
Session cookies are deleted when you close your browser.
Persistent cookies remain on your device for a defined period or until you delete them. The retention period depends on the purpose and configuration of the cookie.
Cookies and similar technologies are not retained for longer than necessary for their stated purpose.
The specific retention period for each cookie or similar technology used on this website is provided in the cookie preference centre or cookie inventory.
7. Cookie inventory
The current cookie inventory is available through the “Manage cookie preferences” link in the footer of this website or through the cookie preference centre displayed when you first visit the website.
Where applicable, the inventory identifies:
the name of the cookie or similar technology;
the provider;
the domain;
its purpose;
its category;
its retention period;
whether it is a first-party or third-party cookie;
whether the technology may involve processing outside the European Economic Area.
The cookie inventory forms part of this Cookie Notice. It is reviewed and updated when changes are made to the website, its platform, forms, analytics services, embedded content or external service providers.
8. Browser settings
You can also view, block or delete cookies through your browser settings. The available settings and instructions differ between browsers and devices.
Blocking all cookies, including strictly necessary cookies, may prevent certain essential functions of this website from working correctly.
We recommend using the “Manage cookie preferences” link on this website to manage your choices. Browser settings may not always cover technologies other than conventional browser cookies.
