What are cookies?

Cookies are small pieces of text sent to your web browser by a website you visit. A cookie file is stored in your web browser and allows the Service or a third-party to recognize you and make your next visit easier and the Service more useful to you. Cookies can be "persistent" or "session" cookies.

How AmCham Belgium uses cookies:

When you use and access the Service, we may place a number of cookie files in your web browser.

We use cookies for the following purposes: 

  • to enable certain functions of the Service;
  • to provide analytics;
  • to store your preferences;
  • to enable advertisements delivery, including behavioral advertising.

We use both session and persistent cookies on the Service and we use different types of cookies to run the Service:

  • We may use essential cookies to authenticate users and prevent fraudulent use of user accounts.
  • If you create an account with us, then we will use cookies for the management of the signup process and general administration. These cookies will usually be deleted when you log out; however, in some cases they may remain afterwards to remember your site preferences when logged out.
  • We use cookies when you are logged in so that we can remember this fact. This prevents you from having to log in every single time you visit a new page. These cookies are typically removed or cleared when you log out to ensure that you can only access restricted features and areas when logged in.
  • This site offers newsletter or email subscription services, and cookies may be used to remember if you are already registered and whether to show certain notifications which might only be valid to subscribed/unsubscribed users.
  • This site offers e-commerce or payment facilities, and some cookies are essential to ensure that your order is remembered between pages so that we can process it properly.
  • From time to time, we offer user surveys and questionnaires to provide you with interesting insights, helpful tools or to understand our user base more accurately. These surveys may use cookies to remember who has already taken part in a survey or to provide you with accurate results after you change pages.
  • When you submit data through a form such as those found on contact pages, cookies may be set to remember your user details for future correspondence.

Third-party cookies:

In addition to our own cookies, we may also use various third-party cookies to report usage statistics of the Service, deliver advertisements on and through the Service, and so on. The following section details which third-party cookies you might encounter through this site.

This site uses Google Analytics to help us understand how you use the site and identify ways that we can improve your experience. The Google Analytics cookies collect information in an anonymous form and may track things such as how long users spend on the site and the pages that they visit so we can continue to produce engaging content.

This site also uses the LinkedIn Insights Tag to monitor and understand the traffic we receive from this platform. This Tag may also be used to target our marketing efforts on the LinkedIn platform.

We may embed content on our website from third parties, such as Google, YouTube, Facebook, LinkedIn and Twitter. When you visit a web page with embedded content, these service providers may set their own cookies on your web browser. These cookies are subject to the platforms' respective privacy policies - we do not control the use of these cookies and cannot access them.
