This “cookie policy” applies to the website www.racs.be.

This cookie policy explains which cookies are used on this website. When you agree to the use of cookies by RACS as described in this policy, cookies will be installed on your computer or mobile device. If you do not agree to the use of cookies, no cookies that legally require your consent will be installed.

Please leave this website immediately if you do not agree with this cookie policy.

In the Terms of Use, you will find a description of the conditions under which you are allowed to use the Website.

What are cookies?

Cookies are small data files that a website server permanently or temporarily stores on your computer or mobile device via your browser. Cookies contain a unique code that allows us to recognize your browser during your visit (a so-called “session cookie”) or on future visits (a so-called “persistent cookie”).

Cookies allow us to make the use of the website easier, more complete, and more personalized. RACS may also use similar tags and trackers that use your device’s storage in a different way. These are also referred to as “cookies” in this policy.

Use of cookies

The RACS website uses several types of cookies:

Necessary cookies

These cookies are required for you to browse the website and use its features. For example, they allow you to navigate between different sections of the site or fill out forms. If you wish to use your username to log in to the customer portal, cookies are also needed to securely validate your identity before granting access to your personal data. Without these cookies, the core features of the website will not function properly.

Functional cookies

Functional cookies make navigating the website easier and better and allow us to offer you a more personalized user experience. This includes cookies that save your language preferences, as well as cookies that remember whether you have already downloaded certain documents, so you are not shown the same document repeatedly.

Performance cookies

These cookies collect data about how our website is used, such as the number of visitors, which pages are popular, and how much time users spend on certain pages. Based on this user behavior, we can improve our website and optimize and personalize the user experience. We also use third-party cookies for this purpose, such as:

• Google Analytics: collects anonymous data about how our website is used and compiles visitor statistics. More information on how Google uses your data can be found at google.com/intl/en/policies/privacy/partners.

Advertising cookies

While you are using the website, cookies may be installed on your device by third parties, such as affiliated partners or advertising agencies RACS collaborates with, or to gather information about which other websites you visit.

Advertising cookies can be used to show relevant and personalized ads, to limit the number of times ads are shown, or to measure the effectiveness of an ad campaign.

Social media cookies

These cookies enable the functionality of social media platforms like Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram. Think, for example, of a YouTube video embedded in one of our activities or services, or a Facebook ‘like’ button.

Managing cookies

We do not need your consent to use necessary cookies. However, RACS does require your permission to store and use other cookies.

At any time, you can disable or delete all installed cookies from your computer or mobile device through your browser settings (usually found under “Help” or “Internet options”). Each browser has its own settings for managing cookies. You can find this information on your browser’s website. More general information about managing cookies is available at allaboutcookies.org/manage-cookies. Additionally, you can visit aboutads.info/choices and youronlinechoices.com to select which companies you no longer wish to receive cookies from.

Changes to our cookie policy

RACS reserves the right to change this Cookie Policy at any time. When the policy is updated, you will be notified and asked again to agree or disagree with the use of cookies.
